Holiday Bling Blog Hop #2 - Reveal Day


Wow it is all ready the middle of December and time for the big reveal of my second round of the Holiday Bling Blog Hop. 

For this round I was match with a fellow Ontarian, Sandra McGriff.  Sandra and I decided to surprise each other. 

In preparation for a craft sale I had been making my little netted snowflakes, so I decided that I would send a small flurry of snowflakes to Sandra. 

 I sent her a dozen of these sparkly flakes. The challenge was securing them to a piece of cardboard to keep them flat during shipping. 

Here is what I received from Sandra.
Festive mailing envelope

Penquin card and shiny gift box

Necklace and earrings

Detail of Owl focal accented with pearls, quartz chips and small gold beads

Tree ornament made with buttons accented with gold

Tree ornament made with buttons accented with red
Here is a list of the amazing creative people who are part of the blog hop. Hop over to each to see the creativity that was shared.

  8. Beadweaving is a favorite of mine to, and you have inspired me so much today! I too am making netted snowflakes for Holiday gifts, and when I read that you sent along half a dozen, I was INSPIRED!! Wow, Jo-Ann, how amazing! They are just lovely.
    Thank you for sharing Sandra's beautiful Holiday envelope -- it's sp pretty! I once received a package from Sandra and she created a beautiful envelope for my package too. Such talent!

    The crystal quartz owl jewelry ensemble and Christmas tree ornaments remind me of a Woodland Christmas! That is my favorite Christmas motif of all!! Sandra created beautiful gifts :)

    Feliz Navidad Jo-Ann!
