Hi friends. I told you I have been busy crafting. Next project is the glass ball ornaments that I filled. I won these glass ornaments from Amanda at Crick'tn Crafts. I looked at lots of different ways to use these, but I especially loved these paper "scrolls". I won 6 from Amanda and sent my son to Michaels to get more, but they were out and not ordering any more. Will keep looking though.
This one I made especially for my in-laws tree. When I first met my husband and for years afterwards, they had the most unique Christmas tree I had every seen. They would get a branch from a tree that had fallen or had been cut - a big branch and bring it in and put it in a stand and string it with crystal ornaments. I hope I have a picture of that somewhere. They no longer do that as they are getting too old to go look for branches and a regular artificial pine tree is easier for them now. But they still do the crystal ornaments along with some white and pink ones - all glass or crystal and very fragile :) So I decided to make this one especially for their tree. It is probably my favorite of them all. This ribbon is from May Arts and I won it in a blog hop with Swirlydoos. 
These ornaments are for my neighbors. I am hoping to make some cookies and candy and package them together in a box. As you can see, there only 5 here - one has already been given away. We had some friends stop by last night and I will have to get the other goodies to them later lol. I especially love this last one too - I love musical notes in my crafting.
In case you are wondering, I do win quite often in blog hops. I would almost feel guilty but it is such a help to me in my crafting. Budget is getting tighter all the time and I would not be able to do half of my crafty endeavors if I didn't win now and then. I follow a lot of blogs and not for the candy - I really feel close to these people. I work at home and sometimes it seems I don't get out of the house at all, but I feel like I have lots of friends :)
So, one more post to go and then it may be a while before I post again.
God Bless,
Becky

Wow..very very pretty. I agree with you, love the scrolled paper! The bow adds a nice touch of elegance. A little advice about the clear ornaments, they sell out sooo quick. They usually come out right around Halloween or early November..you need to grab them then. I bought a bunch of them last year and did not use them. I was excited to use them this year..however my DH can NOT find them. I know they are in the attic! I will be crawling up there tomorrow to find them. I am going to for sure make these, I think they will be super fun and easy for the three old to join in too. Big hugs:)
