Tell me more about your water balloon christmas project.
I am very excited to procrastinate about these tissue paper trees.
Re: maryandkirk
I am making these snowball ornaments- only with yarn (the comments said water balloons make a better sized ornament, so I got a package of them and plan to start tonight):

They're for the Crafty Nesties ornament exchange- my secret nestie is a knitter (and I am most certainly not), so I thought it would be fun to give her a yarn related craft that I am capable of creating to represent her craft, plus a couple of quilty ornaments to represent my craft (I've done a folded star type of quilted ornament { like this, but with a star shape instead of just zigzags- instead of being perfectly aligned they're staggered- http://blueprimrosediy.blogspot.com/2009/07/fabric-christmas-ornament-diy.html} and intend to make a handful of fun quilty trees like these {http://pinterest.com/pin/308563745/}).
I like those trees a lot! I don't know that I have the patience to do those though- are you going to do the 3 textures like she did or just stick with one?
Are you doing any other holiday crafts? I have a TON that are pinned for gifting- I've actually made 2 so far- a lunchbox and a wristlet. They were cute and fun!
Stand up for something you believe in.
Those Martha ones are really cute - and I think using yarn is a great idea!! I also really like the quilted ones. I really need to figure out wtf I did to my sewing machine. I was using last year around Christmas and I think it got jammed somehow
I am not 100% in love with the rose-like tree, but I love the red fluffy one and the green one (also becasue those seem to be the easiest!) I want to do 3 trees though, so i'm on the lookout for a 3rd design for one of the trees. If I can't find a different texture i'll just do the fluffy one, maybe in all silver or maybe all white? Haven't thought that far ahead yet!
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
