Merry Christmas!

I am feeling a little bit like Cindy Lou Who this year as I watch everyone around me stress about getting everything just right, and I realize I may have gone a little overboard with my own preparations. "Isn't there more to Christmas than this?" keeps ringing in my head. And of course there is more to CHRISTmas than all of this hustle and bustle, but how do we ever change the commercialism mentality and get things back to simple? I want a simple Christmas where we celebrate the birth of Christ, and where we spend time enjoying our family, and everyone brings HANDMADE gifts to show how much they love each other!





But, since that isn't the case, I have created these angel gift card holders to bring some handmade loveliness to your Christmas gift giving. I haven't figured out how to make them available on here, so just email me at FrogstoFairyDust@cox.net, and I will send you the pattern piece for FREE.

Thanks for a wonderful year, and Merry Christmas to each and every one of you!

Why would anyone use store bought ornies?

I can't get into the spirit of Christmas. It may still be too early, but usually by this time, I am thinking about the perfect gift for everyone on my list, dreaming up new fun ways to wrap my gifts, and overflowing with inspiration for handmade gifts and decor! But this year, I am in a funk! School is kicking my tush, and working with two year olds all day can be exhausting, so I feel as if I am never going to come around. The other day, an online friend, shared some ornies with me, and immediately I felt inspired to make them. Since then, I really want to make more extreme prim and uglee ornies to cover my entire tree so I think these sweet uglee ornies are getting me out of my slump! Aren't they adorable?



UPDATE: I forgot to mention that theseangels are a pattern by Crows Roost Prims. They are available on Pattern Mart. :)
