*sigh* I meant to start this today. Not as bad as it sounds; I'm a newcomer and only found out about this today so am going to make a couple of small, simple pieces for this one and get more stuck in for the others, but still - damn, I'd better bead some snowflakes tomorrow! [grin]

hey, ya'll! finally posting, everyone has been doing so much! i absolutely LOVE cinnamon teal's ornaments, so I had to make a couple of my own.







I used used brown paper bags for mine. i love them! (the glue really isn't that noticeable in real life)

I love your version too! Its amazing how different the ornaments look with different papers. I really need to make some...

I've just finished mine, and in a bit will locate my camera so that I can take some pictures. Very simple, but pretty - I think!

horsygirl321:  Your flowers are so pretty.  When I saw the first pic, I thought they were made out of chocolate!  (Until I saw it was under the Crusade topic & not cooking ) I love that they are paper bags, too.!!!

I love this idea. I just read through all 26 pages and I am in!
Every year at Christmas I say, "I am starting on next Christmas in January!". I never have.....till now. I have started on a dozen ornaments (sweat shoppe style).
I love the mittens everyone is knitting but it has been a looong time since I held a knitting needle so I decided to use felt, ribbons, glitter, and sequins. I found my inspiration while searching for felt ornaments but can't find it right now to give credit. Hopefully I will have a few finished tonight or tomorrow so I can post a pic.
Thanks for the motivation & inspiration!
First Pair Finished!

CreativeGenes, those little felt mittens are adorable.

CreativeGenes:  Your mittens are so sweet!  Just perfect!

My daughter, age 4, wanted to make an ornament.  She did the cutting and gluing.  I did anything that involved a needle   We were cracking up over the funny looking mouse.  (Of course I did the mouse....ha!)  My kitty loving mother will love this
