Of course! This is the picture thread! Getting swamped in chatter, but the picture thread regardless.

Ok, here they are. Hand-painted salt-dough ornaments:

These aren't the same ones I sent, but similar. I made extras to send to friends & family as well.

I googled 'salt dough ornaments' before I began, read through them, and kept the parts I liked. I made this dough a long time ago when the kids were little, but it's been years. I was pleased how these turned out.
Don't drop them on a tile floor, though

That star really is beautiful, justusinak. You lucked out!!

Sorry it was so late getting to you.

Ive been out with the stomach flu and havent felt to great.

Ive had it made since the first of Dec, but didnt feel like getting out of the house to mail it. I have my house, well the mostly the lights, done in blue for christmas. It just seems so wintery, so I was hoping it fit well with your tree. Glad you like it!
