Ornament Obsession

If you are at a loss for ideas for creating your own Christmas ornaments, never fear! Just head over to Singing Three Little Birds. Julie is hosting a fantastic Christmas Ornament Link Up inspired by a new tree in her daughter's room and there are all kinds of fantastic ideas to check out! Julie was kind enough to include my ornament and I'm planning at least a couple more before Christmas arrives as I finally finished up my first batch for gifts! And now that December is here, I'm really feeling the pressure to get everything finished! Off to finish more presents!

And continuing on with the Christmas fun - the Where Women Create crew is having a great 12 Days of Christmas contest. Check it out at the Where Women Create blog!

Pretty pink power

I love being a godmother! I particularly love being a godmother to girl who happens to love girly-girl stuff as I am a girly-girl myself. Each year, I look forward to figuring out what I am going to create for her birthday and Christmas. My goddaughter just celebrated another birthday, but she hasn't received her gift from me yet as I'll be traveling to North Dakota to see her in just a couple of days.

As a girly-girl, I am very much a fan of all things Anthropologie. I was perusing their lovely jewelry one day and happened upon this necklace called Pretty in Pinking.

I got to work creating my own necklace for Rachel inspired by the Pretty in Pinking piece. As I've never met a ribbon I didn't like, I gathered up all my pink ribbons. After some experimentation and a few hours of work, my Pinky necklace was complete. I can't wait to see her wearing it, maybe even for the first day of school!
