CHRISTmas Ornament: Wreath or Ornament?

Is it a wreath or an ornament?
Well, why can't it be both? :p
I had a so-called-bright idea of using mini ornaments
to make a "mini" wreath ornament,
but the mini turned into a biggie as I kept piling on more & more. 

It is now too big to be an ornament,
but too small to be a wreath on a door,
but it's still pretty!

it's a wreath! 
no, it's an ornament! 
who cares, it's pretty! 

Merry CHRISTmas!: I Myself, Does Not Get Any More Personal Than That

My friends in Atlanta have a tradition, 

that every CHRISTmas, we bring a personalized ornament 

to hang on the tree at our annual party. 

And you can't get any more personalized than your own face on the ornament. 

I printed out my face then dressed myself in felt. 

Steered away from the traditional CHRISTmas color 

so I can dress myself in cuter colors. Haha! 

Plus, it helped me get rid of some left over felt from other projects.

that is me holding up a peace sign. 

can't quite tell from this photo, 

but the top of the hat has '10 as an accessory 

and the earrings are E & Y, my initials.

i stuffed this ornament with cut off felt pieces.

CHRISTmas Gift: Chocolate Roses

A personal touch is always appreciated! 

So I decided to make little gifts for all my friends
at our annual CHRISTmas party.
It ended up being a lot more work than I anticipated,
but it was also the most fun I had working on gifts for friends.
Went with blue & silver color theme since I knew
our hostess's tree was decorated in those colors.

and added a pocket calendar with personalized mini ornaments.
