Mixed Media Baby Boy Ornament

I was asked last month to make a 2012 ornament for a little baby boy due in January 2013. I pulled out some of my favorite supplies and this is what I created:

 

 

There isn't a name yet, so BABY would have to do!

 

 

A story book puppy, and kitten, and hanging from blue and white gingham ribbons; a teddy bear, and toy car.  It says 2012. The year this little boy's mama felt him grow and kick. 

 

 

 

The final creation. 

I also made a girl ornament for this customer's granddaughter. Stay tuned as I reveal that to you next time!

 

Blessings,

The Birthday Boy

Fall has arrived! Frost covered the car windows this morning, and it just doesn't seem right. Our summer was really short, especially because of the devestsion in our area. Later this month, I will recap some of the decorating events I have been involved with this past Spring and Summer, so keep in touch, I promise I will deliver. 

First of all, I want to share with you my niece's blog. She is the mother to my favorite little boy in the whole world. Click on the link below and you will see how this fabulous mother decorated her son's first birthday party. Keep in mind that their home was lost in the flood, and are living with relatives. They are waiting to move into their Fema trailer. Still, this pretty mama managed to create decor for a wonderful party in the park. She did it totally on her own, well....with her handsome husband (my nephew), and little man by her side. The guest of honor's aunt and uncle made the super cute rocket ship in the last picture. ENJOY!
