December 15 2013 Blog Hop

Welcome to our December Blog Hop featuring creations  that we plan to give as gifts this Christmas.   To purchase any of the items seen in our blog hop today, contact your local consultant to place an order.

We hope that you will take the time to leave comments on our posts, as we love to get feedback from our viewers....whether it was something that you really liked or some new technique that was used that you would like to learn how to do....by leaving us comments, we get to hear what you like, and what you want to see. Thank you… now on to our hop! 

If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop, but if you want to follow us across Canada then please start at the beginning and join Michelle at mycreationswithmichelle.blogspot.com. If you came from Carol of craftycarol55.blogspot.com then you are in the right place! 


I decided to try my hand at the Christmas Trees that graced the Holiday Sparkle and Shine mini catalogue as gifts for a few of my clients that I see regularly. It took me considerably longer than two hours per tree, but hopefully if I make more they will go much quicker.
