The theme was snow. We went to our local hospice thrift store and found 4 painted plaster (?) snowflakes and one brass one. The mission was to create ornaments worthy of Gail Bird’s ornament exchange. The real challenge was to only use embellishments from our stash. Well, I’m not sure if that was really a challenge–we have quite a stash. Remember, I am the one who never throws anything away. I guess you could call some of the sequins vintage–I’m sure I’ve had them since the 7th grade. And my grandma and Mrs. T recently cleaned out their jewelry boxes and donated them to our stash.
That’s me trying to use the hot glue gun. I only got one small burn. Kris was in charge of gluing the small parts together and only managed to glue a couple of fingers together. I think we need to go to gluing school. Below are our finished snowflakes.
The silver and gold one is for our hostess. We won’t tell you what our other gift is; let’s just say Charades will be a little wackier this year!

Green Frosty is my fav-that looks like so much fun!
