Great gift idea


I feel like I have been busy doing a million different things and going a million different directions. I am happy though that today I finished the Christmas gifts for our Young Women. I am not taking credit for the great idea (I found it online) but I thought it was so cute that I'd post it on the blog as an idea out there for any of you looking for a cheap yet thoughtful gift for neighbors, v-teaching or whatever.
I got some clear balls at a craft store for 1/2 off (woo hoo!) and made some black and white copies of Christ's face on some transparency paper. I put the pictures in the clear balls and tied a white ribbon on the top. The picture I took of the finished product didn't turn out so great with the reflection I was getting off the glass but it really did turn out cool. It looks like Christ's face is "floating" in the center of the ornament.
I put them in clear bags with red tinsel and tied quotes to the bags about remembering what is most important at Christmas time.
Off to tackle the next project........................
