Making Christmas - Super photo-heavy post

This year's tree - red, aqua and white.

Star ornament for Doodlebug.

Star ornament I made for Ladybug.

Shatterproof ornament covered with ribbon.

Red ornaments made with the leftover paper from the stars. Pinwheels made from double sided scrapbook paper. The smaller star is one of the salt dough ornaments I made last year. The ball ornaments in this shot were all purchased.

Scrapbook paper chain and one of last year's salt dough ornaments.

Paper chain, no flash.

Another shot of the tree - no flash.

Another shatterproof ornament with ribbon.

Purchased ornaments - good shot of the color scheme in action. :-)

Paper pinwheel, ribbon ornament and one of last year's dough gingerbread men. I still have 30 paper pinwheels that I am either going to use to make a window treatment, or a garland to go on the wall. I've not quite decided yet.
