~christmas ornaments~

Raise your hand if you've already started some Christmas projects.  I just can't resist!  I know Thanksgiving is next and blah, blah, blah, but when you've got the itch, you need to scratch it. 

 

First up are these wood tree ornaments.  I grabbed a pack of plain pre-cut trees from Dollar Tree.  I embellished them with vintage sheet music, Scrabble tiles, faux pearls and whatever else I had in my craft room.  I can't wait to see them hanging from our tree this year!

Next up are these Jenga block ornaments.  First I painted the blocks white.  Then I sanded and hand-stamped a variety of holiday-inspired phrases.  This is the before.

And this is the after - after some embellishments and tea-stained seam binding.

And who can resist some holiday retail therapy?!  Both of these pieces are from our local Walmart.  I love, love, love the buffalo check!  I've also been stalking Target.  Their Dollar Spot Christmas goodies are amazing this year!  I'll be sharing my finds in a separate post.  So stay tuned...
