Tis the Season for Gift Giving!!!

Hi peeps.....the Black Friday Frenzy is over
and I'm not sure that I am happy to say I was a part of it!!
WAY too many people.....
stores that looked like a BOMB had gone off....
long lines with GRUMPY people! 

This year....I think my gifts will consist more of
"Gifts from the Heart"!!
Something handmade....something personal....
something to Cherish!!

With this thought in mind....I created this project.

The basis for my project was an embroidery hoop.
I cut a piece of Canvas Corp Burlap a bit
bigger than the hoop.
then colored the wooden hoop.

I pulled out a couple packages of Petaloo ~ Holiday Darjeelings
and Color Me Crazy flowers and leaves
to accent my "hoop"!

I did get a little "artsy fartsy"
with the image transfer of the Victorian Lady
and a bit of Molding Paste.
Also a bit of Silk ~ Acrylic Glaze
and Luminarte Radiant Rain in the mix!!

In the end.....a FABBY wall hanging!!

who does not grieve for the things
which he has not,
but rejoices for those which he has.

Added a Darjeeling Mini and Petite flower,
