The 12 Ornaments of Christmas Past, Present and Future!

It's the first Monday in December, so that means that it is time for the Designer Crafts Connection Blog Hop!  This month's theme is Holiday Decorations! and Holiday Ornaments are kind of my "THING".  I am known for creating unique ornaments each year for my close circle of family and friends.  So, I wanted to share some of my recent creations as well as some oldies but goodies! 

Happy Crafting - I hope you enjoy!
