remember these? I got 'em last week on a trip to the A Muse shop.
A gazillion ideas were ping-pongin' around in my head when I got them home, but confound it all, I haven't had much time at all to actually execute any of 'em.
BUT, I did get ONE idea done. Brace ya' self . . .
TA-DAAAAAAAH!!!
Well? Whaddya' think? I was pretty much bouncin' off m' chair when I finished it! Oh, I love it, I do indeed! *arms wrapped 'round self*

With the built-in slot, you could slip these fun flakes over a button on your coat or a sweater and *snap*! You're done!
Alas, all my sweaters and coats have buttons running right down the middle. Truth be told, I looked kinda dorky when I tried to slip it over one of my jacket buttons. I was not daunted by this, however, being the brilliant crafty gal that I am. *snarf* I decided to cut a little felt circle and whip stitch it onto one side, which would become the back. Then I punched a 1 1/2" circle from some patterned paper, and covered it with one of our A Muse Clear Circle Stickers (they are a perfect 1 1/2"). To sew it to the front side of the flake, I punched two holes thru it with my Crop-a-dile. I "dressed" my red button (it is a cardinal rule around here to never leave one's buttons nekked, of course) and then stitched both the red button, and my "epoxy" button together to the snowflake.
Sewed a pin finding on the back and voilá! In 10 minutes I had the CUTEST felt snowflake pin EVER in the history of the world!!!
*monkey clapping*
As Christmas draws near, some of you may remember that I made a life-changing decision last year at this time . . .
It's hard to believe that it has been almost a year since we brought our puppy home . . . !!!
I doubt Bear remembers his first Christmas tree . . .

But, he was pretty happy to help the Mr. with this year's . . . LOL!
*grin*
