Crochet Me Crazy

We finished our recycled Christmas card garland today. We made this by cutting the pictures from Christmas cards and decorating them with glitter glue. We simply hot glued the pictures along strips of wide ribbon. I taped these above all of my windows for decoration. Here is pictures of the finished product.

I wanted to get the christmas card project out of the way so we could start painting ornaments. We do this just about every year at Christmas. I still had a bunch of these plaster ornaments to paint left over from last year. We just do it for fun because we sure don't need anymore Christmas ornaments!! Lol! We've been making ornaments every year for years so my tree is just about to fall over! Anyway...so tonight this is what we were doing....
