Merry Christmas - I am in stick pin heaven!

First off I want to say Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Haunakah, and Happy Winter Solstice to all of my friends!  It is indeed a wonderful day here in Georgia.  No snow, but we are managing just fine without it.  I don't have a project of my own to share with you today, but instead, the most wonderfulist gift you could have ever imagined getting for Christmas!  I have been a fan of this stick pin trend in card making for some time.  Unfortunately I have only found a few varieties here locally and I don't want to spend a fortune ordering two or three here and there online.  My good friend Caroline from Caroline's Craftography drew my name in our group's holiday gift exchange.  Caroline also has a new found love of making stick pins.  So this is a match made in heaven right?  Okay, check out what I received in the mail from Caroline - and these are her pictures because Lord knows I can't photograph anything this well.

Have you ever seen such beautiful stick pins?  Caroline made each and every one of these beauties by hand.  There are one hundred of them on this ornament.  I seriously teared up when I received this.  So, guess what - I'm going to be using a lot of stick pins in the next year and you all know where they are coming from!  Caroline is the best!

Thanks for stopping by!
