I'm cheating a bit today; I didn't make these myself. My adult daughters made them and gave them to us as early Christmas gifts. These were created with plain ornaments from the dollar store, glue, glitter, sparkly pipe cleaners, and a bit of imagination. They had little helpers, of course, and the kids had a good time trying out different combinations of color and materials.
Everyone in the extended family now owns a custom-decorated ornament. I wish I had managed to get a group photo before they were all packed up!

Happy December 11! Today's special is 30% discount on this beautiful pink jade necklace. Suspended from a 30" sterling silver tipped pink ribbon, the 12mm diameter pendant is lovely gift. A favorite among breast cancer survivors, this necklace also works as a pin: tie it in a fancy bow, add a safety pin, and you've got a multipurpose piece of jewelry! Purchase before midnight tonight, Eastern U.S. time, and I'll reduce the price from $15 to $10.50. Just send me a message with the words "Day 11 Deal". Check back tomorrow for my next December Daily Deal!
