you should have seen harper and sadie's EYES when they saw this big box of glitter!

it's beautiful.

you should have seen MY eyes when i thought about what would happen if the babies got their grubby mitts on it. HAHAHA!

i waited for naptime yesterday and we made some pretty holiday ornaments.

here's a couple of close-ups...these are just the super cheap plaster ornaments (on clearance!) from Michaels:

aren't they so pretty? and YES, it was messy. but the glitter trays helped. and also...

i don't get too worked up about stuff like that. it's just glitter. and the bigs had a BALL.

next i decided it was time for mama to have craft time. here's what i made:

don't you just love these? and i had so much FUN making them.

i have big plans to make lots more of these to adorn holiday gift boxes.

Love your tags - I am totally inspired - might need some glitter!

[Marian]

Your tags turned out great. I'm super inspired.

[Colleen S]

This might be a silly question, but what glue ect did you use? Do you have to push the glitter down or does it just stay? Looks like you got solid coverage.
Thx!

[Stephanie Howell]

Not silly at ALL! I use Martha Stewart glitter glue and then I seal with Super Seal!

[Mitchellkraft]

I love the chevron tag. It kind of looks like Charlie Brown :)

Everything is soooooooo loverly! (yes, spelling wrong on purpose!) I make my gift tags by using plastic see-through letters (think Heidi Swapp) that are just slightly smaller than the tag itself. (I use the same size tags that you use). I place a single letter on top of each tag (centered) and then mist with Mr. Huey in red or green. Wait to dry, then lift off the plastic letter. The result is a personalized tag (with the person's first initial) for each package. Also, have you checked out Garnish? I package treats each month for a spouse meeting (36 treats). I love to get my packaging here: http://www.thinkgarnish.com/store/shop-garnish Merry Christmas to you and yours!

well duh ! everyone has to spell loverly a la eliza doolittle, yes??? :)
