AW: Wanna see the ornaments I made?!? PIP
So I got all the supplies from Hobby Lobby and painted all the ornaments, tied ribbon at the top, put them in celophane (sp?) bags w/cute little gift tags. All hand made. Can you tell I'm EXTREMELY proud of myself?!?! When I was in ATL this wknd and gave them to my friends, they thought I bought them!!! They were completely shocked when I told them I handmade them!!!!

I didn't think they were that great at first but Brad liked them and now wants me to make them for everyone in his office - phew!!! thank goodness there's only 2 people at my office to give them to!!! ha.
Thanks Casie - they are hard work but I think they turned out pretty good myself as well. :: pats herself on the back ::
I crack myself up sometimes.
very cute!
my bff was making ornaments out of the drink holder things from mcdonald's last time i talked to her..
Blog!
steal away!!! I'll say this - there are decorators ornaments that are the ones to use. If you mess up, wipe off the paint with water (immediately of course). Do not use anything else or it will take off the "frosted" look on the ornament.
The gift tags I got in the stamping area. Then I can always use them again if I have too many and don't always have to have a Christmas theme. Smart eh? I just used a red pen to write with!!!!
I got the celophane bags in the wrapping paper (normal one) aisle, not the Christmas one, again, then I can use them again for other stuff!!!
The ribbon was SUPER cheap when it is 50% off at HL, as was most of this stuff. If it wasn't on sale then I used the coupon (and had V or Amy send it to me at work!!! ha.)
I bought a pack of artists paintbrushes as it gave me a variety, and was the same cost as about 1-3 in a pack of other brushes!!!
HTH!!!
