Look at what I got!
Fab ornaments from Anna!
Yes, there is a tree. After having to go to 5 different Lowe's for one, one was finally purchased. It's still in it's wrapping in my dining room, but I assure you in the next few days these ornaments will grace it's branches!

More ornaments. And a stocking
Mini stocking for a swap over at Swap-Bot. Filled with scrapbooking stuff as that's what my partner is into and it wasn't a stretch to fill it with supplies I had around. I love this fabric and wish I'd gotten more than a 1/2 yard; too bad Hobby Lobby was out when I went back to get more.
More ornaments...this time little wooden snowflakes painted pink and blue, then coated with clear micro-beads, then glued together back to back to make a little hanging snowflake.
Snowflakes from this Etsy shop. Microbeads from here (and they come in so many fab colors!)

It's beginning to look a lot like...ornaments
From the bookmark folder labeled "Christmas Ornaments". These are for a swap I will not name so it'll keep the element of surprise.
This one I did from this tutorial over at Zakka Life. Degree of difficulty? None. In total it took about 5 minutes to whip up once I cut all the circles out. This one is a 4 inch circle; she recommends not going smaller than that but I'm curious to see how a smaller circle will come out.
LOVE. This one. Love. I used the pattern from Make it Do. (I used the pattern she links from Kaboodle.) Absolutely simple and stunning.
Lark and Lola had this up last week and that was when I made these. I used antique dictionary pages as I'm short on sheet music. Centers were a little difficult to come by as I just couldn't decide. All this Christmas scrapbook stuff stockpiled and I couldn't find the right thing. So I went with whimsical and simple.
These are going off to my swap partner tomorrow. As to which one is going to be the "official" ornament of 2010 (made in bulk and shipped to friends and family for their trees) is yet to be determined...

In today's mail
More ornaments. Normally I don't get this into ornament making, but this year, inspiration abounds.
These are all going into today's mail to various friends and family members as a little pre-Christmas cheer.
They're just simple little Styrofoam discs covered with paper and glitter.
These two have the big glitter snowflakes I found in a dollar store weeks ago and can't find again.
I am on this total use what I have kick. I keep filling up shopping carts online with cute new stamps and paper and glitter, only to delete it all before I purchase it so that I can use what I have in my studio. I have purchased things like a circle punch (which I didn't have) and blank cards that I'll be using as part of a gift, but otherwise, I've resisted. And it's hard -- especially if you know how cute some of the new Christmas stamps are. I see it as kind of a purging process.
Gift making starts today. I am excited!

Ornaments
Ornaments I made for the Cake + Pie swap over at Swap-Bot.
They're just simple cardstock and decorative paper covered with glitter (I love Stickles!). Some of the letters are stickers and most of them are the Grungeboard letters I have a bulk of. The little stars are also the Grungeboard pieces; so much fun to cover with glitter!
The heart shaped one was for a different swap all together. Same materials and same idea.
I absolutely love Stickles. They just make project so much better.
This week: special orders, Christmas cards, and presents. Lots and lots of presents to make.
