Done, Done, Almost Done

I'm so proud of myself for making sure all of my handmade holiday crafts were finished & shipped out on time! Ok I lied, just 1 project went unfinished which was our Christmas stockings. But no biggie, at least no one was waiting for them to arrive in the mail. I am however disappointed in my efforts to keep my blog up to date. So, my new years resolution is to keep this baby running!

Here are the 10 ornaments that i made for the ornament swap. I'm so excited for how they turned out. I wish i could have kept them all for myself!

My friend Jamie's ornament made it to the flickr pool of some of the ornaments that were swapped....yay!

jamie's pompom mitten :)

These are the ones i received from all over the world....I loved finding a package in my mailbox everyday and not knowing what was inside.... what pleasant surprises!! I can't wait to do it again next year!






Since I was having so much fun making fabulous ornaments, burgerboy asked if i would make an ornament for each one of his 40 employees at Five Guys. Delighted, I accepted the great task and here's how they turned out...a plush soft drink cup to hang on their trees!

Now that the holidays are finished, i just need to finish my stockings and i can cross all my handmade christmas projects off my list...hooray!!! But they'll have to wait til i return from my trip to brazil. The beach, hammocks and waterfalls are far more important than handmade stockings...ill post the pics once they're done!

Oh Happy Day!

What a wonderful day it was on Monday. The art dept received new office chairs from Staples YIPPIE!!! The search for a comfy chair has finally ended. The mesh seat is oh so nice! And so is spinning in them!

Look how happy we are in our new chairs!

I can finally retire my good old purple beast from the 70's. No more wondering if I'm going to fall and break my neck when the wheels decide to pop off and no more sitting on a half a circle seat.
