Have a holly jolly....

I did not do exactly what the directions were )http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
but simplified it a bit & added some things.

It was REALLY difficult to get Brenna's handprint. I had to swaddle her tightly leaving one hand out, wait for her to fall asleep, and then very quickly & quietly paint her hand without her waking up. Getting the handprint on the ornament was the most difficult part, and I wiped off prints (or should I say fistprints) more times than I could count. BUT. I finally got them done. We are giving them to grandparents & great grandparents this year.

Original (better, and also because she is a good photographer)

I also made a blue & silver one...I will update when I get a picture of it. :) This was pretty easy...unraveled coat hanger & a buncha plastic ornaments.
