We've been attempting as a family to spend less money during Christmas so we'll have more of it to give away for Advent Conspiracy. And instead of store-bought presents, to gift more of ourselves, our creativity and our time. So when I saw this post on oven-baked ornaments, I wanted to try some of my own. They didn't turn out as fancy or as even as hers (mine were rather lumpy), but it was a fun attempt anyways. I hope to hone my skills and get better at making them for next year.
Wishing you a happy weekend! Any exciting plans?
Beautiful! My daughter has been making clay ornaments this year. They're really cute. :)
ReplyDeleteMy sister is coming to visit from Hong Kong on Christmas Eve. I'm not sure if Monday counts as the weekend, but I guess I'll be busy getting her room ready. So excited! <3
Merry Christmas, my friend!
Love sister visits! That definitely counts. :)
DeleteI think your ornaments are lovely, and you will remember making them together every year when you decorate your tree. We all need to slow down, and enjoy each other more during this season, don't we? Merry Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteWe do! I'll treasure the making memory. :)
