Christmas Ornaments

Today I received some neat homemade Christmas ornaments from a member of my crit group. The ornaments are miniatures of my books:


They're made by pasting copies of my book covers around Post-It notes and adding a ribbon. (Directions for how to make these ornaments are here.) I think they're so cool! Here's how they look on my tree— which is a ficus, not an evergreen:


They fit right in with some of my other ornaments, don't you think?


Here's the full effect—it just isn't Christmas until the little horse sings:


Blatant commercial message: In case you are inspired to give my actual books as Christmas gifts, Ferradiddledumday and Stuck are conveniently for sale on both Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com.



Thank you Marcie and the other members of the Crit Group for the book ornaments! Thank you Polly and Robyn for the singing horse!

They are from the whole critique group. We all worked on them on Sunday. And I must give credit to Cheryl Rainfield for the idea. She posted how to do this on her blog.
