We're hosting Christmas for Jeff's side of the family at our house this year and I'm really excited. I'm hoping to find a nice size tree to decorate and thought these would make easy ornaments and everyone could take theirs home if they wanted to.
All I did was find a few logs from our fireplace log pile and used the miter saw to cut 35 round discs. I didnt sand the flat side but I did lightly/quickly sand the edges to knock off the roughest parts. Melanie used a paint marker to write all the names on the front and Amberly used a black sharpie to write the year on the back. Strung a piece of cording through for a hanger and that was it.. All done.. and in less than an hour I have lots of ornaments for the tree.
Hoping to make some clothespin snowflakes one night soon to go with these.

Homemade Gift Exchange
I participated in an Homemade gift exchange this year through Craftaholics Anonymous. I was paired with a fellow crafter from South Carolina. I'm always a little nervous when making things for others because I don't know if they will like them or not. I ended up going with two things that I make fairly often and I also made an infinity scarf. I hope she likes them..
I hope to join in the next gift exchange in June.. for details on how to sign up go to www.craftaholicsanonymous.net .
