4th Annual Ornament Blog Hop




I was little bit nervous when I decided about doing this challenge. It's called Ornament Blog Hop. I never make holiday ornaments before. All of my family are Muslims, including me, and in our Holidays we do not use ornaments to decorate the house. But, since we live in United States, I have been invited to some Christmas dinner in our friend’s house and that was wonderful experienced to me. I got a chance to see family gathering on Christmas, I can saw their Christmas three with all beautiful decorations and sparkling ornaments. I also got some present!!  That was making me surprised. I am not the part of the family, but still, my family (me, my husband and my daughter) got a present for each of us with our name on it.
Here there are what I made for this Challenge. Please tell me if I didn't get it right on track for the Challenge.




I saw beautiful Holly Wreath on our Main Entrance in our apartment building, so I decided to make one bead from polymer clay, that I am hoping looks like Christmas Wreath.





We have lots of Pine tree outside our apartment. So I decided to make this polymer clay bead with decorated pine tree.







My daughter loves making snowman, so I decided to make this snowman beads. Well, I had lots of fun making ornaments. I already gave the Holy Wreath ornament and the Snowman Head to my friends who celebrate Christmas. And I wish u all have a very Merry Christmas.


This picture was taken yesterday at Tippecanoe Restaurant. I just need to have a picture with this festive Christmas tree :-D

PS : Thaks to Art Bead Scene for hostin this blog hop, and please visit here for another blog hop participants.

    Your ornaments are very sweet- I especially like the wreath. Do Muslims do any kind of decorating for any holidays? Something like a window decoration might be fun.

      We do not decorate the house with something particular. In Muslim holiday, we usually giving away foods, visiting as many friends or family.

    I work for Muslim fellows and the first year that Othman was my boss for Christmas, he was a bit like you, mystified by all the nuances and we had many conversations about the whole spirit of Christmas and the differences between what the holiday actually means and what the advertising and big businesses want to make of it. We talked about Rammadan and the idea of contemplating what wealth you have and comparing your own bounty with poorer people. The first year that he told me "Merry Christmas", I laughed right out loud. I said Othman, you are a Muslim and I am a pagan. Neither of us celebrates Christmas! But we were both caught up in the happy spirits of the people who come into the store.
    As a Muslim, you have taken the spiritual idea behind all the glitter and glam, the joy of giving and of giving joy to others. Your ornaments have the true essence of the Christmas spirit..........understanding, accepting, and showing love regardless of faith. Well done!
