Silly Snail Felt Booties
Wool felt with silly snail cut out, hand stitched and embellished with silver thread and green ribbon. I developed this pattern over time and with a lot of trial and error. It can be made from fabric or felt. I used a Cuttlebug Die Cutter and a Cricut die to cut out the snails, and DMC Floss to stitch it together. The inside is lined with fusible cotton to help keep the shape and stiffen and strengthen the felt. These are extra small for premies. Please note that the snails are not identical.

snowfriends
3 snowfriends on a bed of greenery with candy canes, lollipops and candy garland.
Center glass bowl holds bulbs, candy, cookies or candle.
This is easier than it looks. I used a charger plate, very inexpensive but durable, turned it up side down and glued a pre-made greenery wreath on to the plate. I added three snowman tree ornaments, evenly spaced around the wreath. If you want lights, this is the time to add a small string of battery operated LED lights. Hide the mechanism in the greenery. I used faux lights that come as a garland, then added a few round bulbs. Scattered a few snowflakes, then glued in faux candy canes and lollipops. A faux candy garland finishes the wreath. The center contains a 6 inch glass bowl that I've filled with bulbs but would be great with just about anything.

Days of flocking attaching lights and making ornaments only to have the tree topper light batteries die in mid-showing!!! Note to self, be sure to have fresh batteries!

Joy of Winter detail
This was a very big challenge! The tree was constructed in a way that each branch was merely laying in place. Every time the tree was moved or lifted, half of the branches would become dis-lodged! Had to shrink wrap the entire tree to transport it to the venue. Only two ornaments fell off!
I'm melting!
a recycled wicker sled along with a recycled snowman tree topper, add a snow blanket and holiday greenery. Spay with tree "snow" and glitter flakes.
