Christmas Ornaments

So, I know I have been the world's worst blogger lately. With the holidays I have been so busy that I haven't had much time to sit down and create. But, earlier this month we had our Christmas Card swap that is undoubtably the happiest day of the year. It is full of handmade goodies, friends, laughs, and good times. This year we decided to make 2 set of ornaments to swap. We made a few extra to donate to a family in need. Here are the two ornaments that I madeL

Vintage Christmas Window Box

This year I signed up for the Lisa Pace's Vintage Christmas projects. This is one of them! So cute and so vintage :-)
