Well, I've finished my little Christmas Countdown Calendar.
I had fun using the American Crafts Tinsel Accents in green and in silver to make my little removable ornaments.
As mentioned in an earlier post, I put the BasicGrey magnetic snaps behind the little snowflakes and on the back of the ornaments.
And on the back of the star to make it "changeable" as well!
I really like the idea of being able to move the ornaments around. I can create more using a different color scheme or even using different materials. I think buttons would make cute ornaments...maybe even dipped in a little Doodlebug sugar!
Since Christmas is still a few months away, I've stored my little tree in my curio until December.
I covered the backside with paper, but haven't decorated it yet. My boys want to decorate the back and fill it with their own little ornaments. So I'll post their creations right before December. I think it will make a nice little Thanksgiving break project, since we'll have those days off from school, and nothing to do.
Hope you're having a great day. We, here in Miami, are waiting for this to pass
and I'm icing my knee and shin. I've been running around like a crazy person, making hurricane preparations, and fell. Then I smacked into my injured knee, not once, but twice. Now it's swollen, and I can't bend it...grr. Wish me luck.
