Christmas Ornament Swap on Button Floozies

This was my first Christmas ornament swap with Button Floozies. I decided to make a snow girl for my ornament.

I received 3 very nice ornaments from my swap partners.



 Terri sent this one, full of goodies, just love the look!

Wendy sent me this one, very nicely done with some wonderful chocolates too!

Susie sent this wonderful dress form ornament, very cute!

Thank all of you for the wonderful ornaments! I have them on my feather tree in the dining room and they are quite cheerful. Thanks to Laurie for hosting this fun swap. I hope to do this again in the future.
Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

Inspire Co. Birthday Shadow Box for Valerie

This shadow box is titled "Birthday in Paris Gypsy Style".  In the top row I used a vintage tart mold to hold the mushroom along with a vintage clown head and I fussy cut a vintage birthday greeting . On the second row is a cake made from a wool felt ball that I put beads on and used a jewelry bezel as the base. The center box holds the "eiffel tower" along with a "french poodle" and a vintage rhinestone moon. the last box holds a crepe paper pkg. with a vintage rhinestone box to adorn it.

The third / bottom row has a vintage spool adorned with another vintage earring and some paper flowers. Of course no birthday is complete without the "balerina" and a bird candle holder who watches over her pearl eggs. The base  has 3 small dominoes that I used for the feet. I am really pleased with the way this one turned out.
