Christmas Village 2009

Here are a few pictures from Christmas Village today...

White trees are always cool.


We bought the sock monkey in a stocking ornament.








The boy loves jewelry!
Eventually I had to drag him out of this booth because so many people were crowding behind us for a turn, but not before I bought this for myself...




He's decided that he'd like to learn how to make jewelry. Sounds like fun to me. Any of you have any tips, helpful websites, or general words of wisdom? I think we need a tutorial from Marcy on how to make these cool rings.



I'm foreseeing lots of jewelry, so we'll be needing to make something like this to hang it all on too. ;)






I love these frames and have been motivated to work on my own frame project which I will hopefully be showing you soon.



This white chocolate popcorn is delicious! (They had samples.)
Now I sure am wishing I had bought us a bag. Maybe we'll try to make some; I'll let you know how it goes.

    Where's a good starting place for us to buy wire, beads, etc.?

  4. I had to skip over the sock monkey quickly.
    I'm pretty much creeped out by them. Isn't that weird?

    I love your pictures, as usual.

    Maybe your relatives could clean out their costume jewelry and give it to G for Christmas?

  6. You crack me up! :D
    But now that you mention it, they are pretty creepy...and you know, I'm sure I'll think of you every year for the rest of my life when I put this thing on my tree. :)

  9. I saw the link on your post, but I won't be able to make it this weekend. Bummer.

    As for bead, wire, etc. all the craft stores carry that stuff now. Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc. That is where I got the beads and wire from that I use for the rings. So we can start there and just have fun with it. I know Courtney makes jewelry, maybe she can give us some starter tips!
