Is there a better time of year than the holidays for being expressive and creative? We get the chance to adorn ourselves with playful jewelry. We are encouraged to decorate our houses with beaded garlands and handmade ornaments. During December, we rolled out a calendar of creative prompts, we challenged our friends on our VIB Facebook group to create festive jewelry and décor. At the end of the month, we selected random names and our elves gave them a store credit. Today, we are looking at some of the designs that were entered into our exciting Merry-Thon event.
Our 25 Days of Holiday Crafting Merry-Thon Calendar was a hit! Each day our Facebook group was a winter wonderland of cheerful designs. We were excited to see so many inspirational ideas. We had so much fun being a part of a lovely community of artists and free spirits. If you participated in the event - thank you! We loved seeing your work and your comments. What an amazing way to end the year!
