This year I joined an ornament exchange, somewhat foolishly perhaps, considering I have in infant and household to run, but I joined nonetheless. During the Thankful Project sponsored by the Chasing Happy blog, she also hosted the Merry Mail ornament exchancge. I had four other women that I needed to make ornaments for. I wanted to make something small, cute, handsewn and, honestly, with supplies that I already had (remember I am on a destashing kick). I have a fair amount of felt, ribbon and tons of buttons. You know how you buy a pack of buttons and really only needed two? Those buttons, and the old-school cookies tins from my mother and grandmother, although those didn't come into play for his project. I love handsewing, I am not great at it, but I love doing it, so I definitely wanted to incorporate that as well. To Pinterest I went!!!
And here are the results! I also made very simple hand made cards to go along with them. (I really have got to figure out a better photo taking for this blog) I actually enjoyed them so much that I ended up making a few extra as presents for my own family!
