handmade christmas challenge...

I've been spending way too much time drooling over gorgeous handmade gift ideas this week, though it seems my stocking is looking a lot plumper than anyone else's.  I've been getting some gift cards & wrapping ideas together while huddled inside on this very cold & windy winters day...
they'll be made using recycled & thrifted bits & pieces. 
and this hanging decoration made by a local guy...

Not traditional Christmas colours, I usually have different colour schemes & themes each year, and I'm going with natural tones this year...

  8. thanks ladies, it's been fun rumaging through my odds & ends to make the cards..and the tree is actully recycled tin with VERY pointy edges, best to hang that as high as possible or our christmas could be a little dramatic/disasterous...
