Merry Christmas - Mary & Jesus

Day 25 of Christmas photos...MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The final photo in the Christmas photo series and I saved this one 'til last.
A photo that reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas.

Blue Mirror Ball Ornament

Day 22 of Christmas photos, so close now!
What's a Wings & Bling tree without some mini disco balls?
We have about 10 of these, in pink, purple, green and blue.
I love their sparkle!

Blue Dragonfly Ornament

Day 20 of Christmas photos.
Another new one that I bought because it has wings.
How cute is this little blue dragonfly?

Purple Butterfly Ornament

Day 19 of Christmas photos.
Today's ornament is another new one.
A pretty purple blingy butterfly.
Yes, I went nuts at the Myer Christmas shop!

Little Angel Ornament

Day 18 of Christmas photos.
Only one week to go!
Today's photo is a sweet little ceramic angel that is also a bell.
I've had this one for a very long time.
And I can't quite remember, but I think it was also a gift from a student.
She has wings so she was allowed on the tree this year.
Luckily, it would have been awful if she had to miss out, because she is so cute.

Pink Birdie Ornament

Day 17 of Christmas photos.
This is my last little birdie.
I saw this 2 days ago in Big W for less than $2!
It's a birdie...
It's glittery...
It's pink...
The trifecta!!

Silver Birdie Ornament

Day 16 of Christmas photos.
Let's stick with the birdies.
Here is another new one!
Yes, Lindy, I did but quite a few!! But not just to blog about. ;)
Just because I love Christmas ornaments. :)
Here's my silver blingy birdie.

Blue Birdie Christmas Ornament

Day 15 of Christmas photos.
Only 10 days until Christmas!
I'd better get to the shops...I'm not ready yet!

Today's photo is another new ornament for this year.
A beautiful blue birdie.

Silver Bauble

Day 13 of Christmas Photos.
This one is a new ornament.
I love silver and it has just the right amount of sparkle!

Christmas Bow

Day 12 of Christmas photos.
The last handmade ornament, unless I happen to make some more...
I love bows on Christmas trees. Either stiff wired ribbon bows to sit in gaps on the tree (that's this one).
And I also love to buy a roll of pretty ribbon and tie it onto the brances in bows all over the tree.
I haven't done that this year, may next year's theme can be 'bows'.
Anyhow I'm getting ahead of myself.

Here is my favourite bow on the tree this year.

Handmade Gold Christmas Bauble

Day 11 of Christmas photos.
The next handmade ornament is so easy, it's a great craft project for kids at Christmas time.
I made 4 of these almost 20 years ago, oh boy that makes me feel so old!
If you want to make some, I tell you how here on my other blog.

Handmade Red Lamé Bauble

Day 10 of Christmas photos.
Another handmade ornament today.
Every year I like to make some decorations for the Christmas tree to fit the theme.
This year I covered 5 polystyrene balls with red lamé, and decorated them with sequins and crystals.
I made them using purple, pink, blue, fuchsia and gold sequins.
Very bling-y!
This is the fuchsia one.

Crystal Snowflake Ornament

Day 9 of Christmas photos.
Let's move on to some handmade ornaments.
This is one I made a few years ago.
It's a snowflake made from jewellery pins and Swarovski crystals.
It was fiddly, but so worth it.
I love how delicate it is.

Pink Chandelier Ornament

Day 8 of Christmas photos.
Yesterday was all time favourite ornament.
Today is my favorite 'new' ornament.
Myer has the best Christmas Shop I've ever seen.
I was like a kid in a candy store buying new decorations for the tree this year.
When I saw this one, I think I gasped out loud.
It's pink.
It's sparkly.
It's a chandelier.
I simply love it!
But, like yesterday's, it was also very difficult to photograph!!

Heart Crystal

Years ago I was given a crystal heart shaped sun catcher.
It now hangs in my daughter's room and on a winter's afternoon it catches the light and sends little 'rainbows' all over her wall.
