I have been having so much fun making these ornaments!!!
Over the weekend, I had a little Christmas get together at my house for some of the awesome gals that have been taking classes from me. We had a little make and take ornament class, and a cookie swap and had the best time. Unfortunately I was so caught up in the fun, I forgot to take pictures!!!
One of the gals, a super cool lady named Earleen (who needs a blog by the way!!!! hint, hint)
gave me a very sweet and thoughtful gift...
She found this cute idea on Pinterest and made a Christmas tree out of spools (seriously, how cute is this??) and embellished the package with a sweet card and a cool little bauble made from a tart tin.
(Update!) While perusing Pinterest myself, I found the original source of Earleen's inspiration! If you click here and here you will find these the tree and the card on The Creative Patch!)
Well, I saw ornament spelled all over this thing, and so, because of her inspiration, I set out to create some tart tin and spool ornaments. I've been making them for the last couple of days, whenever I have time and here are the ones I have come up with so far....
So not only did Earleen gift me a adorable creative gift, she also gave me the gift of creativity.
Now I just have to find a place for them on my tree!!!!

these are darling karen...hugs
WOW!!! Karen ...these are just lovely!! I have tart tins, I have spools....guess I need to make some of these :):) The inspiration is spreading!!!! Hugs
Too sweet!!! Don't you love when a gift is more than a gift!?! Inspiration - ah, yes, that "get out of my way or I'll run you over" getting to my studio feeling!!!! And although I'm sure no one was harmed in the making of these ornies, who would've blamed you?!! Okay, what I see in a couple of them are little tart fairies....you know complete with lace dresses....ready to attend a Christmas Gathering....hmmmm....now what should I do with this.....
Hugs and purrs,

Those ornaments are so unique--I love them Great job!
As always - so creative!
Don't you love when someone inspires you to take an idea and run with it?? Earleen sure is one creative soul! And lucky, too, to live nearby and spend some time creating with you and the other ladies!! Thanks for sharing!
They are wonderful. I always am inspired to create something after a visit here. What a fun project to do with friends!
Hugs

Adorable!!!! You are so lucky to have a group to craft with!!! That is a goal I want to achieve in 2013. A few friends to get together to craft at least once a month... OK every 6 weeks.... Just sharing & creating. I love it when friends gather. Miss you girlfriend! I'm finally home for awhile & MAYBE I'll get caught up. HUGS!

I am just amazed to see how people might be creative. The result is stunning.
They are adorable..What a cute idea..
Great idea with the tart tins!!
The ornaments are so awsome!! I second that with Charlene, since she is going to be planted for a while, maybe I can get together with her. Maybe we could do something fun. Glad you had such a good time and it just keeps lasting for days. That is what's fun about creating and especially with friends.
Hugs, Pat
The Gift of Inspiration and sparking Creativity is one of the best! Your Creations and hers are Lovely and have Inspired all who have visited today, Thank You!

Hugs,
Seriously Karen---- is there nothing you can't do?? Don't we all just want to run out and buy up all the tart tins!! Your friend is creative - and your interpretation is just precious. I'm sure there is room on your tree for these cute little treasures!
