Glass block lights......

It's time again for Get-R-Done Friday over at ClassyChassy, so be sure and go by and check out the other great projects and tell Classy thanks for hosting this for us.

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.
