First let me say how I think your orname...Hi Susan,<br />First let me say how I think your ornament is so beautiful and elegant. I LOVED your excellent tutorial on how to make it. The wax paper tip is a great idea! I can't wait to try one.<br /><br />About the desk/table in your photo - I have one here in my craft room that looks JUST like it, except, instead of candy corn, there is a box of protein bars. Not that I munch away on multiples of them daily - but my teenage son would like to~ if I wasn't right here guarding them. <br />Thanks for your note! <br /> CindyCindy Beachhttp://stampspaperandink.typepad.com/stamps_paper_and_ink/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-52951876833318721942009-11-10T09:00:51.860-05:002009-11-10T09:00:51.860-05:00Beautiful ornament!!

I could take a guess, but I am a lazy crafter. I want it all laid out, with photos before I start messing around with sharp edges around my CS.<br />Your table is killing me. I take out a tool, use it, put it back. I did not think that was OCD, untill now. If someone with your tendancies can make this much mess, I am starting to think I have a rather large problem on my hands.Juanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706817909132300124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-11719163773490095202009-11-08T14:47:58.042-05:002009-11-08T14:47:58.042-05:00The ornament is lovely and I feel some inspiration...The ornament is lovely and I feel some inspiration coming on for gifts to send back to Australia. After years of gradually getting better at sending off gifts by the surface mail deadline (and saving myself a $100 or so in postage) I have failed to send even one off before the deadline this year. Circumstances in our family this year prevented me from being the least bit organized, Christmas-wise, back in October. A set of ornaments and some family photos would not be too heavy to post, now would it?Heather Thttp://cardz.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-52147350072280723912009-11-08T14:11:25.985-05:002009-11-08T14:11:25.985-05:00You call that a mess?!

My daughter is so infested with that gene, she's prone to cleaning up my mess while the project is in process.

But this mess generated several cards and then the ornaments. Unfortunately, the cards weren't good (can you say "recycle"?), but they led me to the ornament, so they were useful anyway.<br /><br />SusanSusan Raihalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03018860599601419989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-38782828596874167442009-11-08T11:07:13.282-05:002009-11-08T11:07:13.282-05:00AAAhhh, I feel so much better seeing this! :0) L...AAAhhh, I feel so much better seeing this! :0) Looking forward to your tutorial.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12175485808533410938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-46808161258958117152009-11-08T11:04:44.041-05:002009-11-08T11:04:44.041-05:00sitting on edge for the tutorial - it is stunning!...sitting on edge for the tutorial - it is stunning!!!!!
