Say it Ain't So...

A short hop to Victoria for Christmas, and I baked these gingerbread birds and their humans for friends and bird enthusiasts, Dawn and Dennett. These bite-sized babies were so fun to decorate ~ and easy to pop into your mouth!

Christmas Tree jar gripper made from non-slip rubber grip stuff. I remember on the Ferries in BC, they used non-slip rubber mats in the cafeteria, so when they ran into rough waters, you wouldn't be hit in the eye ball by a flying salt shaker! Eye-eye-eye! I crocheted cotton around the edges. I hope it worked well for my swap parter. It was awefully cute, and I should have made some more.

Fooling around with construction paper and tinfoil. What a kewl effect! All you need is some wax paper to trace your desired design. Then place it over the tinfoil and press over your design with a dull pencil. The ugly little Christmas ornament took a couple of months to arrive in Australia. 

Penguins have been popular for years now ~ so I introduce to you my Bertrand, lol! These were fun little guys to make and are great swap gifts.

I made two terracotta pot tree ornaments. Got the instructions from Michael's, and had major fun painting and embellishing them! The buttons are the cutest, thanks to Walmart.
