I love that it's just about enjoying your friends and family without all the overdone commercialism that has ruined the true meaning of Christmas.<br /><br />I adore Oriental Trading Company - I'd only used them for Halloween before, but you've given me some fabulous ideas for Christmas!ShesAlwaysWritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04243898033808557580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32201214.post-1163045963457335542006-11-08T22:19:00.000-06:002006-11-08T22:19:00.000-06:00One of my best friends just LOVES Oriental Trading...One of my best friends just LOVES Oriental Trading Company. Two of her children married this year, so of course, you know she got many decorations there for the wedding. The engraving was free, too, and the items were very affordable, as they were on a tight budget!Sandy-sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13051292583862076821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32201214.post-1163030656190521262006-11-08T18:04:00.000-06:002006-11-08T18:04:00.000-06:00Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, maybe I'll wr...Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, maybe I'll write a blog about why soon, ha.<BR/><BR/>I thought I would pass this along since you are crafty. I use to work at Michael's (for five years in fact) and for a time was the classroom craft coordinator. One of the really neat projects we did every year, and that I really loved is one that I thought you might like. Michael's (and perhaps other places) sells a clear glass ordinaments in a variety of shapes and sizes. There are two great and pretty easy projects for these. One is to take the glass etching rub on designs and lay them on the ordinaments and rub them on. The other is to take off the tops, and pour a little paint in a swirl them around.<BR/><BR/>I have some beautiful etched snowmen ordinaments as well as some swirled candy cane looking ones and icy winter swirls and even some red and green globes that are swirled. They make GREAT personal gift. Just a thought.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139891987615911595noreply@blogger.com
