Christmas decoration wrap-up

December is almost over so here is a quick peek at some of the other Christmas decorations I had up this year. The mantelscape theme was my collection of German wood Christmas pyramids and a few minature deer figures.

My mom got me this vintage aluminum tree last Christmas and I was very excited to have it for my vintage Shiny Brite ornaments.

Aaron also got me new Shiny Brite ornaments! Yes, they are still making them!

I put a string of wire LED lights on the tree and they really lit it up!

I am a big fan of these wire LED lights. I think I will have to do a post just about them.

More handmade Shiny Brite ornament Christmas wreaths

I'm still making vintage Christmas ornament wreaths for the South Wedge Holiday Craft Bazaar. This is a favorite, love the colors.

This one includes a chalkboard ornament that you can customize with your own message. I have this wreath-making down to a process now. The hardest part is picking out the ornaments for a color scheme.

I made two more baublesicles too. Red and gold this time.

Vintage Christmas Ornament Crafting & Janda Made at South Wedge Xmas Fest

I've been a busy little crafting elf. My mom has collected these vintage Christmas ornaments for me for years and I finally started making things with them. This wreath is made up of vintage glass Christmas tree ornaments including a few Shiny Brite ornaments.

It was a lot of fun to make. I enjoy picking out the colors and style of ornaments. It also scares the wits out of me. I'm so scared of dropping it because it would shatter into a gazillion pieces. I made the hanger extra sturdy!

I've also made a few of these hanging decorations from vintage ornaments that I call "Baublesicles". This one has a matching buddy.

You will be able to purchase these Janda Made ornaments and more at the "It's a Wonderful Life in the South Wedge" Holiday Festival on Saturday, December 7th. It starts at 11am and goes until 6pm. Tina, Aprille and I are sharing a table again.

We had a blast last year. I will have many of the same items... gourd bird houses, holiday jars, smashed spoon plant markers and bottle cap cufflinks...

... and more of my most popular item... Gourdon the Snowman ornaments!

I love the wreath so much... I hope I can part with it. I think I will take a nice high res picture of it and make prints so I can remember it always.
