My cute friend has a super fun Christmas tradition of doing a homemade ornament exchange party. When she asked if I wanted to participate, I have to admit at first I wondered what in the world I would do with 17 homemade Ornaments (especially with the hopes that we will have a house full of children some day who will provide a great deal of homemade specialities to add to our tree) but after she explained a little further and directed me online, I was in. She invited 17 different people to participate and then each person had to make 17 of the same ornament. This cute little guy was my creation. I wish I could take credit for the idea (I found it online), but I did make it from scratch. My wonderful hubby even helped me. The Marshmallows are made out of clay, which I had to spray paint white because they dried gray (grrrrrr!) the chocolate is brown foam and the graham cracker is cork. The rest is paint, ribbon, and wire. I am pretty proud of how cute they turned out, but I have to say making 17 was a lot of work! It was really neat to see what the 17 different people came up with. We each did something unique and different! It was a great time and I am super excited for next year's party. I am totally hooked and already have planned my ornament for next year :P
