It is kind of hard to tell in the picture but the glass ornament is full of white feathers. I only had the flat disc type glass balls on hand and think that it would look better in a round ornament. Oh well, maybe next year.
What makes the ornament so special is the poem on the back -
Here's a jpeg of the poem. I printed it as a 3.5 x 5 and used my 2 1/2 inch punch to cut it out.
My Dad passed away in March of 2004 and Leigh and I both thought Mom would love this for her tree. We are on our way over to pick her up to go look at Christmas lights so I thought I would take some quick picks and post it for all you Last Minute Crafters out there! You know you are!
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas as you are watched over by your Guardian Angels!
Hello! I'm stopping by from Our Favorite Things Link Up Party - I love this idea and am pinning it for next year :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Angela! Next year I'm going to make a different version of this using the same poem. I'm going to print the poem on a rectangular piece of card stock and attach the feather on the card stock to the left of the poem. Maybe trim it with Christmas ribbon? I didn't see this until Christmas Eve so I didn't have much time to throw it together.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you stopped in and hope you come back again!
Jeanette! I love this and this would make a great gift for a few people I know. Thanks for sharing at Throwback Thursday.

Thanks Denyse! I made it for my Mom in honor of my Dad who we lost in '04. It is a very special reminder of a wonderful man. Merry Christmas!
