to make. Last year, I found these on this blog.

She  made these free printables to use. And her instructions
are  so easy to follow..  
Keep reading my confession will follow in the end. smile

 I love the  truck/car and Christmas tree stuff. Carolyn at :

Carolyn, made some of these  mason jar ring ornaments , 
using  paper  from Hobby Lobby.. They were so cute.. I am
not finished with these..[waiting on it to warm up, so 
I can paint my jar rings. eeeeeh]. I also decided to  do
a paint stick one too. Fun and Cute.
ps. Thank you Carolyn for  reminding me  where to find
the  instructions for the paint stick ornaments..  You are 
where I first saw the ornaments.. They were so pretty on
your tree.

Confession time...
In Early December- 2015, I saw these adorable paint stick
ornaments.. I rushed out to Lowes to  buy the sticks and paint
to make them. Came home , was oh so sweet to hubby.. 
and got him to cut the sticks and drill holes in them.. He
got them done really quick [see, he knew I was in a hurry.
 So, I could get them on the tree...Welllllllll.. I procrastinated.
 I painted them. [the first step for me, Kenny had done the
other steps.]  I put them in a basket, out of sight and out
of mind.. Forgot them......... oh no. 
 I pulled them out , determined to  finish them up in 2017..
I couldn't find the blog  of the lady  who gave the 
instructions.. [I had forgotten that Carolyn made them? --
old age for sure].   Then Carolyn emailed me with the blog
sight... [she is so sweet].
And i finally finished them... [A little too late for Christmas
2016...--- But you be looking for them to be shining
on my 2017 Christmas tree..

My prayer is that you all have a very blessed and Merry
Christmas..

  4. So glad I was able to help you find the source, Judy! Yours turned out beautifully! And it was so nice of Janet to provide the free printable and the instructions. I noticed she just added additional paint stick printables with all the names of Christ in Spanish. So nice! Wishing you an awesome Christmas with your family!

  7. I guess you know you're not the only one who does that kind of thing......I guess it will be a bunch of surprises for me when I finally get through the remaining bins from our move. Here's hoping I get the willpower to get right at it now that Christmas is over.

    The ornaments did turn out beautifully.

  8. I love your decorations, so glad you were able to finish them, even if slightly late. I have done that also where each year I'll pull something out and this will be the year I will finish it but then time gets away. At least you succeeded! Have a wonderful New Years! Kelly.
