This week for my Get R Done project, I am continuing to finish the many last minute things I have to do before Christmas, last week I told about the stocking I had to finish, you can see them here . The girl came and picked it up Tues night and just loved it, she said she was going to leave it out all year...lol..glad she liked it.
This week I have a couple of projects I had to finish, the first is an ornament for our Bible Study Class ornament exchange, that by the way I didn't get to go to..drat...I so looked forward to our get together, I did send my ornie though. I broke another tooth off Tuesday night and had to have it cut out yesterday, so really didn't feel like going.... anyhow I painted a special ornie to give and I wasn't going to let no old tooth keep me from giving it.

I didn't get to take a good picture before sending it off with my DIL, but on the back I wrote Clear Branch Bible Study Class 2009...
The next projects are 2 of the 3 block lights I had to do as Christmas gifts, the first is for my DIL #3's Mom, She loves Snow men so I painted a family of 3 and put their names under each one, Sam, Ann and their son Josh...wasn't sure how I was going to paint it, so just started making forms and this is what came out....
here I started painting and was going to take more pictures but got busy painting and forgot to, sorry...
after painting them I added a string of clear lights and tied a pretty red and gold bow around it, and now it is no longer just a glass block, but also a night light...
The next block is for DIL #1's Mom, she loves my Santas so I painted a Santa with a bag full of toys on her's...also took picture as I started but then just finished painting....and forgot camera,
a close up of Santa
the block completed with lights on....
I tied a white bow with Santas on it around this one....
a look at it without the lights on...
This is my Get R done projects for this week..hope you enjoyed them and hope it gave you an idea or two for Christmas gifts...I still have one more to do and I will be through...yea....
If you can't paint, you can take the blocks add the string lights and tie a bow around them like a Christmas present and it makes an adorable night light just like that.

Just beautiful! I have a glass block with lights in it and a bow tied to the side. One of my husband's workers gave it to us years ago!

Beautiful gifts Molly. Oh how I wish I had 1/2 your talent.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking in to GET R DONE FRIDAY - what lovely ornaments you painted - and I have seen blocks like the ones you speak of, with lights and bows, but never painted up like the creation you made! It is wonderful, and I bet the ideas for designs come to you in an unending supply!!!
ReplyDeleteMolly I love those glass block lights. They are so neat. Who wouldn't love those?!?!?
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to you!
MOlly,
ReplyDeleteI knew you were a talented artist, but had no real idea of the extent of your gift---you're not only spreading Christmas Cheer, you're spreading LIGHT, and that's a rare and wonderful accomplishment.
These blocks are just charming, and just think of how often they will think of you with a smile and a little bubble of happiness inside.
Just lovely. Many, Many Blessings of this Glorious Season to you and all you love.
