Welcome to Week 18 of the 20 Wednesdays till Christmas Ornament Series.

Today, I took a plain baby blue glass ornament that I got from Walmart & turned it into a beautiful beaded ornament.

By adding some Mod Podge, I was able to add things like seed beads, rhinestone mesh, clear pearl strands & aurora borealis crystals, to turn these plain ornaments into ornaments that look like upscale ornaments.

Hard to believe that this:

It’s no secret that I have O.C.D. ~ Obsessive Christmas Disorder.

I think about Christmas all the time.  I can’t look at an everyday item without thinking, “How can I turn that into a Christmas decoration?”

That’s what happened when I posted the Walmart Gem Haul.  I saw those pieces of gaudy earrings & I knew exactly what I was going to do with them.  Those earrings became this:

Merry Christmas everyone!

This week’s tablescape, as well as our entire house has a Santa theme.  It was inspired by a little plate that I found at Walmart.  It had just enough whimsy to touch my heart.  I hope you enjoy it.

Christmas is only three weeks away!  Oh my goodness, where has the time gone?  I love Christmas.  It’s my favorite time of the year.  I love decorating for it, making gifts for it, watching all of the Christmas movies that are on & listening to my favorite Christmas songs.  And what have I been up to since I’m in the Christmas mood?

I’ve been making some new ornaments again (so what else is new?)  This one is so simple to make.  If you have a white matte glass ornament, some silver sequins, glitter Washi tape & some glue, you can make these by the dozens.

We’re only a few weeks away from Christmas, so I decided to get a head start on some new Christmas ornaments.  The first ornament for this season is actually a trial for a much larger project.  I wasn’t sure how it would turn out, but I’m actually quite pleased.  It was easier to make than I thought it would be.

This is my Atomic Mirror Ornament.

Ornaments for the Sports Lover

I was looking online for a Pittsburgh Steeler ornament for my nephew, husband and a friend as a Christmas present.  (They are all major Steeler fans.)  I found one that I really liked, but they wanted $6.00 plus shipping & handling for just one.  I knew I could make them for a much better price.  Since I was making them, why stop at just the Steelers?

These are so easy to make, and very inexpensive, especially now that there are after Christmas sales going on.  And the best part is that they can be customized for any sports team!

Here’s what I came up with:

Another Christmas has come and gone.  Most of the gifts have been exchanged.  (Although there are a few gifts that still need exchanged.  Being sick over the holidays is no fun.)

This wreath was made for a friend who loves the color brown.  I couldn’t post this earlier, because the recipient of this wreath reads my page, and she’d have known what she was getting before she got it.
