so much for getting it all done!!

i had big plans last night!  finish christmas cards(and mail them today), make ornament(i did manage to get that done, but it took me all night!), make knot blankets for the kids(not enough fleece, and joann was all out of the colors i needed!),  finish stitchery and make it into a pillow(got lost in the shuffle, and i never even thought about it until after my head was on the pillow!)

ok, so i had an ambitious evening planned, but it all went out the window after i started making the ornament.  i'm so glad i finished it though, i really think its a show stopper!  i'll be bringing it to the family ornament exchange.  i found the idea for this over at Everyday Chaos  i knew when i saw it, i had to make it!

its just so darn pretty!  i used scraps of wrapping paper!  this was completely free to make...i love it when a plan comes together....well, other than the fact that i didn't get any of my other jobs done.  oh well!  i was taking breaks in between...so don't be afraid to try this...yours probably won't take you all night!!

on a side note...i discovered that its not good to leave your glitter where little fingers can reach it...

 

at least he offered to clean it up....

little stinker!!
