Starting To Do A Little Finishing

December is here!  Only 24 days until Christmas and I've barely scratched the surface in terms of getting ready.  I've got three gifts out of many bought so far... yup not ready.  Today I had a little time to start a little finishing, I've got a whole lot of Ornamentifying to do!

One of today's finished ornaments I can't share, Kathy and I are doing a personal exchange.  I now need to get it into the mail (huge procrastinator when it comes getting to the postie).  I hope she likes it!


The second ornament I thought was perfect to try Sharon, Daffy Cat's beaded ribbon edging tutorial.  I thought it was such a pretty effect.  It really wasn't that hard to do, just a little on the time consuming side.  However as I got towards the end I started to get a little quicker.  I'll be doing this finish again!


Isn't that just pretty?
