Wrapping Up December

It's Christmas Eve and time to wrap up December here at I Gotta Create!

You might say the December theme is Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...

I show you how to make vintage photo snow globes. You'll want to make sure you check out the fancy finishes!

Adorable DiY snowmen jar candles start with a plain small jar candle from the dollar store!

A sequined snowball ornament combines the crystalline sparkle of flakes the softness of a new blanket of snow.

We also bejeweled yarn ornaments for a special twist.

We paused a moment for the children and adults of Newtown.  

May the call for peace on Earth be spoken, heard and heeded by every heart.

That is my Christmas wish.

Check out The Best of 2012!
