OLDE CROW AND A SNOWMAN

Here are a few holiday ornaments I created for a swap partner.

An olde crow all decked out for the holidays.

My swap partner loves snowmen so I created this hanging for her.

I recycled a holiday card.

I took apart the card and ended up with the snowman, the bucket of birds, the tree and the house.

I glued a vintage doily to a round piece of white cardboard. I then placed and glued the pieces of card to the doily.

I added sheep's wool around the bottom, a red feather, some tiny pine cones, rusty little bells and beige colored yarn.

Using my tag punch I punched out of the same card, the words "Merry Christmas", tied with vintage lace and a vintage button.

I really loved this card and was glad I could use it for just the right gift.

I love recycling holiday greeting cards.Thanks for stopping by.

BUTTON FLOOZIES

Now that my three swap partners have received their packages I can show you the "Holiday Button Floozies"

This was a swap I entered over at BUTTONFLOOZIES

We had three swap partners to send a button holiday ornament to.

Here is a organza bag filled with vintage buttons, each paper doll has one of these.

I made these paper dolls using an image from my personal collection.

The skirts are made using vintage linen dinner napkins.

This music note ribbon I had left over from last year, I love this ribbon.

I had a little of this green vintage trim in my stash, happy to have found a use for it.

The bling on her hat is a pair of vintage earrings I found at a yard sale.

Her shawl is made from soft beige colored yarn.

This floozie's skirt is made from a dinner napkin and embellished with pieces from a doily.

Her shawl is made from gold organza ribbon.

Her skirt is embellished with a very unique vintage button.

She also has her bag of vintage buttons.

I so loved making these holiday ornaments.

This floozie has the most beautiful holiday hat one has ever seen, made with a vintage holiday earring.

Her shawl is made using a piece from a wedding dress.

Her skirt is trimmed with more holiday ribbon I had on hand.

This skirt is embellished with white and green ribbons and a few buttons.

I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving Holiday.

Thanks for stopping by.

A VISITOR

Take a look at what came to our tree.

Sorry that the photos are a little blurry, photo taken from inside, through the window.

I do believe this is a female pheasant.

She could see me through the window taking pictures of her.

She was very curious, but not scared really...

Of course I love birds so I was a little excited that she landed here and I was able to get some good photos.

This tree sits right outside our dining room window. I was sitting blogging of course, when she flew in. I spotted her right away.

I sure would like to see her male partner fly into this tree.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a great day.
