Things have been very busy for me lately! But I have made time to create a few things. The Junior Ambassadors of Clarendon County sponsored the First Annual Holly-Daze Market, which brought businesses of all kinds together in one place to jump start your holiday shopping. We had gift shops, crafters, clothing stores, artists and a lot of other vendors as well. My parents had a booth selling their wood crafts and Pampered Chef, and since I got them involved in this event I decided to make something for them to sell as well. I decided to make ornaments as my contribution to the Kountry Kreations table. My sister discovered a neat idea a few years ago for decorating glass ornaments. Simply put you pour arylic paint into a clear glass ornament swirl it around and drain. You have a uniquely painted ornament! Click

So I painted six different ornaments, three different color combos: Clemson, USC and South Carolina. Then I attempted to etch a matching logo to the outside. Those didn't go so well. See below
So next thought was to decorate plain colored ornaments. I spent hours searching for ideas all over the web some were cuter than others, one that caught my eye was pastel flowers on a coordinating ornament. So I took it a step further and wanted to make my own flowers to go on the ornament. So another search later, I found several tutorials on making ribbon flowers. I picked out a variety of ornaments as well as a variety of ribbons, and started making flowers. Below are some of the results
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Soon I will be posting my Christmas decorations, I love decorating for Christmas!
