Christmas Ornaments for the Kitty Tree

Well I decided I just couldn't leave the tree with a fabric garland. So I figured I would use what I had and started hauling out the glitter, glue and any bits and bobs I could find. Truthfully I didn't know how these would turn out so I used all the left overs of other projects and just winged it. The kittens were ALL OVER it and it was all over them! The baby stepped in the Tupperware container of glitter and dumped it all over her and the floor. She jumped which gave the room a shower of glitter that I have yet to get all cleaned up! Then the other one stepped in the glue bowl and glued all her whiskers together!
I have never had children but I now feel like I had decorated a tree with two insane toddlers!!! OMG how do you mom's do it? I was so stressed out by the end of this project I thought I would lose my mind. Then you look at them and think, oh yea you're cute all right but, "One of these days Alice, Zoom to the moon!!"
So, I'm done with decorating!! I will end up re-decorating this tree over and over again anyway so it'll be like I did more. It felt good to start and complete a project. I have found myself starting a project, becoming unhappy with it and throwing it away! So frustrating!
The good news is that I have a class with my partner in crime Charlene, this next week with KC Willis !! I'm really excited! Cross your fingers  I can crawl out of this black hole of a creative port a potty and get back on track!

    Oh my word these are just stunning!
    I would have loved to seen pictures of the fur babies-I am so glad I am not the only one that has a fur baby side kick.
    My black beauty is always sprinkled with glitter and brings it to our bed.
    Life without a cat would be so boring.
    Hope your doing well sweetie

    Sounds like it's a good thing they didn't do the glue and THEN the glitter......or maybe they did?

    I have taken several of KC's classes and had such a great time. You get to design and complete a project with her input and get to see what everyone else creates. Be sure to take your favorite bits and bobs to include in your project and HAVE FUN!
