They had a lot of fun making them, but it became apparent very quickly that I actually had to do the cutting while they assembled the globes. Before long the globes turned into these snowflake-y decorations. I think I like them even more than the globes.
I was playing around the other night with Christmas gift tags. I think I know how I'm going to be using some of my newly purchased eBay buttons.
Lastly, Joe and I are going to his work's Christmas party of Thursday night. I decided to recycle an outfit from a couple of years ago. It's a long black skirt with a long-sleeved scoopy neck top. I like the outfit but it needed a bit of jazzing up.
I am not really into beading, but I am into crafting so I of course have a small collection of beads (I have no idea why). Anyways, a trip to the bead store and about $5.00 later I have these. I just love the sparkly beads!!
Stay tuned for take III of the covered notebook series. It's in my head but I don't know if I'm going to get to it this evening.

good job on the Christmas Deco. I love the paper balls.
We made the globes yesterday. yes, the kids have a little hard time with the cutting. We tied string from the brad for hanging and a ribbon around the string. I didn't even think to hang them the way you did. I think we will try that. Love the snowmen name tags.

Your snowman tags are so cute! You did a good job on your jewelry. I'm not really a jewelry maker either, but I occasionally whip something up to match an outfit. It comes in handy that way!
Thanks for the mitten info, Karyn. I have the Ann Budd book on my Christmas wish list... hopefully Santa will oblige.
BTW, I love the MS snowglobes, too. So cute!
I saw those in the Martha mag and thought they would be perfect for a classroom craft. There was another that I remember doing as a child as well. I haven't been reading every day so I missed getting tagged! I may just follow up on that tomorrow!
the button snowman is way cute! and the jewelry looks great!
Those snowman tags are cute! Great idea.
I prefer them as snowflakes too.
