Christmas in July Blog Hop 7/22 – 7/25
Welcome to my first ever Memories in Tyme Christmas in July blog hop!!! After going to my first blog hop recently, I knew I needed to host my own hop this month for people to start to look at Christmas! The economy is hard right now, what better way to save money by making wonderful things for your friends and family instead of spending a ton of money you don’t have! Plus if you spend a bit of time and money each month, things will not be so hard at the end! Everyone has been working really hard on things this month, and we all hope you enjoy all the fun ideas we are sharing with you!!
If you are starting at my blog – make sure you start at the beginning at Lynda’s blog which is http://memoriesintyme.blogspot.com/
For today's project I decided to bust out my ornaments! I LOVE doing ornaments. Last year I made one for each of the grandparents from my daughter and her Aunts and Uncles and Cousins. Awesome gifts and everyone loved them. So This year I'm making SETS a set of 4 and here are some I did. ENJOY!!!!
When I make my ornaments I use Beacon Glitter-It. I found this technique by going to Michaels and watching the demo online. I know some other use Pledge floor wax or something of another. I love my Martha Stewart glitter its the BEST! They look amazing. For the snow flake ornament I bought this package at Michaels for 1.00 and they work great for fake snow. The rhinestone stickers were purchased from Michaels and Hobby Lobby. I typically only get them during the summer when they are clearenced out.
My husband decided to paint a ornament for himself while I made the snowflake and snow ornament.
I will be annoucing my blog candy on the last day of the blog hop. Become a follower and leave a comment on each day of the hop that's all you have to do! Look forward to see you tomorrow and enjoy the rest of the hop!!!
