When I was little, it was a Christmas tradition to pick out a new Christmas ornament every year.  I would have been so excited to find a tiny book ornament that I could actually have written in!  These little books just make me smile.  They have the most whimsical, swirly hook, making them extra fun.  These will make great gifts for any book lovers.  You can write a little message in them or suggest using them each year to record a Christmas memory.  Some customers are letting their kids draw or put their finger prints in them.  The possibilities are endless! 

I got inspired tonight amidst various orders and, of course, a long to-do list.  The inspiration started here, which I saw last week.  I guess those ideas have been simmering in my head somewhere.  All I know is that I was finishing up an order like any other evening. Before long, I'm getting all these text blocks of books together and deciding how I'm going to turn them into a Christmas tree.  I found an extra string of lights, made a paper star top, and hung my mini book ornaments.  It's the first time I've ever had a Christmas tree in my studio, and I'm actually pretty excited about it.  Happy Holidays to me!
