The 12 Days of Christmas

 Today is the first day of the 12 days of Christmas which myself and several other bloggers will share tutorials on how to create some Christmas magic in your home.  December is here and I am changing up my decorating style this year.  To begin I will show you how to make this Happy Holidays ornament I designed on my +Official Cricut.

I am sure you have been busy with the bustle of the holidays already and I would love to see what you have been Creating.  Do you remember a couple of weeks ago when I posted this blog post? Click Ornament Tutorial Exchange Link here to catch-up if you missed it.

  Erlene invited several of us to share some holiday cheer by making ornaments for new friends. Today she has helped us gather them all together to help you with a fabulous wealth of ideas to make treasured gifts for friends this holiday season. Now we need your creativity to complete the circle of fun. That is right we would love for you to link up your Holiday Sparkle, Plaid, Rustic and more. Please give us your best because, to all of us this is the best part in sharing our passion for holiday decorating our trees with gorgeous handmade ornaments.

Welcome to the first 2015 Holiday Ornament Exchange!

Ornament Tutorial & Exchange

 I am participating in the holiday spirit thanks to Erlene author of My Pinterestventures is Hosting the 2015 Ornament Exchange.  Do you know Erlene? Make sure you visit the link above to meet the magical Elf. She somehow managed to wrangle a large group of blogger to create tutorials for you,  then send off ornaments to a new friend. She has created a job that is similar to Santa delivering all the Christmas joy overnight. Only she has subjected herself to this for several days. I hope you enjoy the good cheer, creative ideas and meeting new bloggers in the process.

My new friend is Stephanie. She is a Mom, Nurse, Adjunct Professor teaching college students and the author Casa Watkins. She has chosen the colors of Gold and Green to decorate her Christmas Tree this year. I hope this ornament will remind her of the heart of gold she has during the Christmas season.
