Christmas is just around the corner?

Can you believe it is about that time already?? 

Where did April-September go? 

I have begun the first of my annual Christmas decorations.

Doing double duty, I am working on a class project too...

I have a couple of others going but this one is the most completed one, so far.  This one took me quite a while but writing the directions will take me hours!  (Writing directions/patterns is the hardest and most tedious part of my job.) 

How are YOU doing on your projects?

Here are some pieces I did last year.

(I can't find the others that I finished and gave away for gifts last year.)  They are not much inspiration for my upcoming projects.  So I am on the hunt for some clever...quick...easy and inexpensive beading gifts.  Any ideas for me?

I hope you all are having a beautiful and safe Labor Day!

I'm off now and on the hunt for inspiration...

Blessings all,

Sharon
