Oh Christmas Tree!

I finally got my first tree! I had a little too much time on my hands so I went ahead and made my own ornaments this year. My inspiration came from Emariecreations, an adorable Etsy shop featured on Joy De Vivre Design several weeks ago. When I saw this Holiday Twist Cupcake Pendant it was love at first sight and I thought, "Man, I could totally do that!"

Well one thing led to another and pretty soon I was making all sorts of polymer clay goodies: golden pears, gingerbread men, candy canes, glazed sugar plums and presents tied up up in string. I think they came out pretty damn cute.

Oh, and I couldn't find a tree topper I liked so I grabbed a gift bow from Target and called it a day.

    That tree is as beautiful as its decorator.

    That big bow topper is cool - Hopefully someday you will have a heirloom angel or something for your trees.

    Thanks guys! It was fun making them. Even Mom, who always tells me to grow up when I go on about my current craft project, joined in and made some of her own :)

    Handmade decorations are always that bit more special than ones you can find in the shops.

    I love your tree, and that's a great topper! I've never thought of that. I just have a big ornament on mine, but I like yours better. Merry Christmas!
