Christmas 5/12 – Hang an Ornament. Did you know there is a bundle called Hang an Ornament. You can find the bundle on page 44 of the September-December 2024 Mini. The die for the ornament has perforated edges so that the recipient can peel off the ornament.
Welcome to 5/12 – Hang an Ornament project – short hand for saying week 5 in my 12 week countdown to Christmas series.
