It had my name and a picture of a reindeer engraved on it. It was super cool and I found out that a firm out in Colorado called Unique Custom Products made it.

Plus, ornaments make great vase fillers, garland and wreaths! :)<br /><br />xo,<br />JenIHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-80985054022688162972012-12-11T20:14:37.345-06:002012-12-11T20:14:37.345-06:00The acrylic ornaments were .50 each, and the craft...The acrylic ornaments were .50 each, and the craft supplies are ones I typically have on hand or only run a few dollars each. We figure it was far less to create our own with different ideas vs purchasing the pretty ones at the store. Plus, it created family memories and allowed us to customize the decor to our taste. Win win! :)<br /><br />xo,<br />JenIHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-83955631577120565922012-12-11T18:51:55.052-06:002012-12-11T18:51:55.052-06:00I was curious, actually, how much all the clear or...I was curious, actually, how much all the clear ornaments + the craft accessories cost you?
