Find of the Week:
I love finding pretty ornaments made of heavier materials like polyresin. Bonus points if they are free-standing. I found these at Dollarama for two bucks each. See the Quick Tip below to see an idea for using these other than on your tree.

Quick Tip:
Because they are free-standing, these little bird ornaments can be used as place card holders on your holiday table. All I did was print out all the names of family members I expect at my table on a plain sheet of printer paper, picking a font and colour I liked. Leave a couple of spaces between each name.
Next, I cut out each name in the shape of an envelope. Use a small square of two-sided tape to attach the “envelope” to the bird, making sure the “flap” of the envelope looks like it’s being held in the bird’s beak. So cute and family can take hope a keepsake ornament!
