Hello ,

Welcome to November! I can't believe how fast time is flying...only 22 days until Thanksgiving and 53 days until Christmas!

I have been working on many projects for the holidays: Christmas cards, Christmas gifts and Christmas ornaments.

Speaking of ornaments, here is what happened while I was picking the colors to use on the ornaments that I was in the process of painting.

This Cardinal (see picture below) was right outside my craft room window a few days ago. I was in awe of his beautiful red coloring! I was working on my projects for the Painted Ornaments online class and decided to use "Santa Red" acrylic paint on the small plaque (see picture below)that I was painting since it matched the color of the Cardinal.

I guess we never know where we will find our crafting inspiration...this time it was right outside my window!

How would you like to make SIMPLE yet STUNNING ornaments that are:

• EASY to make when you know the stamping techniques and products 
• UNIQUE since they are handmade and one-of-a-kind
• BEAUTIFULLY designed to "stand out" when hung on the tree?

If your answer is yes; then learn the tips and techniques to make these very unique and special ornaments at the PAINTED ORNAMENTS Online Class!

This class will include how to:

• use your favorite Christmas stamps to create images that can be painted
• paint on wood surfaces with acrylic paints, and
• how to use special effects to embellish the ornaments
