How exciting is this…..
our very first Ornament Exchange ‘Blog Hop’ with such amazing Artists sharing their talents, styles and inspiration!
You will be inspired for gift giving, for your tree or decorating this coming Christmas season thru-out all our blogs and ornament creations!
Just a few clicks away from 12 ‘free’ creative ideas…..from our hearts to yours!

Thank you to DecoArt and Cupboard Distributing for sponsoring our very first Blog Hop! I encourage you to check their sites and products for more inspiring ideas!

The ornament I have chosen from Cupboard Distributing to create is a hand-turned round ornament. It reminds me of vintage toy tops and you all know how much I love vintage! So many possibilities for these turned ornaments!
And I have been playing around with DecoArt colors to create a vintage green chalkboard feel and I think the color combos of Forest Green and Shale Green look super vintage….matching it up with Country Red for a homespun feel.

Eucalyptus …….when it first came on the scene in the early 90’s it was used in every flower arrangement you could find….and then I think it was forgotten. Recently I passed by this in Joanne Fabrics and glanced at it with fresh new eyes, I then found myself purchasing some and home I went! ~ Oh the fun we are going to have with eucalyptus this Christmas season!
It inspired me to paint eucalyptus on the ornament for the exchange blog hop, a little unexpected in my designs!….of course throwing in some baker’s twine…..makin’ it Classic.

Glittery Eucalyptus and Berries
Personalize the backside with a name and date, makin’ it yours.
