Hi, Everyone...
I tell ya, that DEBBIEDOO is always coming up with some of the most FUN parties...
and THIS one is no different.
No Sir Ree.....getting ready for THIS one really had me thinking....
You see, she wanted us to come up with something really pretty or really tasty using things from
THE DOLLAR TREE STORE.......
As some of you might know....
I become very intimidated when the word "CRAFTING" comes up because anything I do in the way of CRAFTING is HARD WORK.
♥
FINALLY....
I chose a plain white plate (with what looked to ME like tiny snowballs around it)....$1.00
an adorable Christmas gift bag.....$1.00
and 2 packages of JINGLE BELLS...$ 1.OO each
and THESE Jingle Bells are LARGE...They really make a statement.
and THESE Jingle Bells are LARGE...They really make a statement.
I got my trusty GLUE GUN out that I am about half afraid of...
and I started gluing the SILVER BELLS to beat the band....
all the way around that plain white plate, with those tiny snowballs all around it...
the more bells that went on her, the cuter she became..
she started to TWIST and SHOUT....
she began to take on a personality.....
a bell-ringing personality...
yes, sir, she was feelin' mighty cute by this time.....
♥
Yep...as those SILVER BELLS continued to sashay all around her,
I think her little tiny snow balls grew a little bigger....
actually.....she was gettin' a wee bit SASSY, she was....
Then I started cutting that cute gift bag all to pieces....
used the Christmas Tree.....
the little cutie SNOWMEN....
and even used the silvery HANDLES of the bag to glue around the inside of the plate, creating a sort of frame, if you will.
Now, ya gotta admit that is a darn cute plate...
I'm excited because I just KNOW this littleCHEAP inexpensive plate will look
I'm excited because I just KNOW this little
great on my Christmas Mantel in with red berries and glass Christmas balls and
a few Christmas Fairy lights.
♥
Look at the curvy, sexy branches of that adorable CHRISTMAS TREE....
she's cute as can be and has all that sassy white SNOW GLITTER to boot.

OOO, I know she's kind of USELESS...her beauty is only skin deep....
but some things in life were just
BORN to be PRETTY. !! :)
BORN to be PRETTY. !! :)
What a glorious time of the year....
everything is pretty...
everything smells great...
everything tastes so good.
Our HEARTS just feel good because we KNOW
THE REASON FOR THE SEASON. ♥
O, ain't life GRAND !!
I am so enjoying my PICTURE WALL, there in the background....
I will find the perfect wall in my new home to put them right back up....
...even the little paper snowmen, with a tiny bit of sparkle, are adorable so I just had to stick them on the CHRISTMAS plate, too.
♫♪♪...in the lane, snow is glistening.... ♫♫♪
Last year at this time, due to the severe drought, I had only
ONE RED BERRY on my
holly plants....
I woke up on my birthday, Dec. 31st (yep....NEW YEARS EVE), looked outside and there, on one of the shrubs, was a lonely RED BERRY....just for me.
My BIRTHDAY BERRY....:)
THIS year, all 5 shrubs are full of berries.
♥
I am so happy because of all my Christmas decorations,
I think I love little vases of
RED HOLLY BERRIES sitting around best of all.
They remind me of Christmas' at home.....with my mama....
I sure do wish I had my MAMA instead of these ole red berries......bwaaaaa
♥ ♥ ♥
...the snow flake DESIGN on the bells just tickles me to death...sooo cute.
This was fun and I will love using my cute Christmas plate during the holidays.
ALL FOR LESS THAN $5.00 :>)
I love you all.....
I love you all.....

You are never again allowed to say that you are NOT crafty! You did a wonderful job and I think it is just darling. I am half afraid of my glue gun, too. He has a thing for me- and gets all hot and sticks to me like white on rice. xo Diana whew- that didn't sound so good but I said it and I am leaving it-
Very creative, BJ. It looks darling and I really like those bells!
Very cute! You did good! :-)
Who says you're not crafty? That plate is the cutest ever! ~ Maureen

Shut the front door! This is seriously, fiercely cute! What vision you had BJ! Looooove it! I could walk around the Dollar Tree for 5 hours and never ever even think of something half as creative as your million dollar looking plate. You are awesome friend and I am totally steal...borrowing this for my own Christmas decor :-)
You know I totally LOVE it Bj! I think this was very clever on your part. Looks so cute. I bet you just get a twinkle in your eye when you look at it. Your husband must think, that Debbiedoo is crazy LOL. Thanks for joining in on the fun.

Now, BJ, you can never say again that you are not crafty at all because look at that gorgeous plate you crafted!!!! I love it!! Makes me want to go to our Dollar Tree (yes, we have one that just opened down the street from me...woohoo!!) and get the supplies needed to make one too! hehe
I've been so busy this last week, baking, chocolate making, decorating, etc...but today I'm taking a break to catch up with my beloved bloggy friends:-) xoxo

Hi BJ, I think you are more talented than you think. I love your project and I love Debbiedoo's Christmas Craft Party. Great job...Your newest follower, Connie
BJ, I don't think you can claim that you aren't crafty. This is an adorable idea. How clever to think of using the gift bag images and the silver bells. Yes, indeed, this plate is going to be a star on your mantel. Bravo!
Hi BJ,
I love this plate! What an accomplishment and all budget friendly! Great sparkle and a fine showpiece for a mantel, or console, etc. Very pretty!
Thanks for stopping by my place. Very nice to meet you!

Your snowflake-jinglebell snowball plate is the cutest ever. Your pictures turned out great! I was having a bout of post Thanksgiving blahs today and I've got to tell you that your jinglebell snowball plate and the post you wrote to go with it has really perked me up. Great job! Thank you for adding some snowflake-jinglebell sparkle to my day.
You did a great job, BJ! It will look so cute on your mantel.
So glad you got some berries. I have to take a walk back and see if mine have any.
Hope you had a great Tgiving.
Here from Seasonal Sunday, and just because! :)
This post just put me in some Christmas spirit! Your plate is lovely. Love the little snowflakes in the bells, too. You gave me a giggle with your "birthday berry"! ha! I have no berries on my holly bush yet. I hope they come. Thank you for your note over at my place. blessings, Jami
Now this just turned out too cute! Sometimes my mind just goes blank when I'm in the store. those bells really set it off!
That is just super cute!!VERY creative, jingle all the way!
