  Not living next door to Macy's and even if I did I couldnt work their ornaments into my bargain budget.. There was nothing else to do but make my own using what I had on hand...
 yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.. I love them...~!!  just what I wanted and needed....
  I went to the dollar store and at the very back of the aisle they had a box of last years balls priced at 2--5 in each pack- plain sorta yucky balls--- for $1.00... that made them 10 cents each...  OK , I can handle that price ....
 Stained sweater I saved for I didnt know what... Buttons from my jar of saved buttons and 2 rolls for 1.00 ribbon and Viola...I figure 10 perfect balls to suit me for about 3.00 was a good deal...
   I needed balls that had texture- were the right colors- and added some lightness to my tree..
Sonny is a happy Girl... :)

  We're having company for Thanksgiving and then we're traveling to a few places around the state to see Christmas Displays... I needed my tree up Now so it would already be done by the time I got back home..
    Happy Holidays to All
More Christmas next week if I don't overdose on Pumpkin Pie...... giggle
   Thanks so much for stopping in to take a peek at what I've been doing....
Please come back again , anytime.. I love havin Ya'll visit...

    These ornaments are just so cute! I have the perfect old sweater to use for creating my version of these. Thanks so much for the inspiration, Sonny, and for stopping over on the HG message board.

    Hello Sunny,
    great idea to make those ornaments. They look like Snowmen or at last like snowballs. Very winterly and fresh design.

    Great idea, Sonny! I saw some great ornament deals at Goodwill this weekend. I like these ~ they make me think of the sweater pillows I've been seeing.
