    Snowball ornament by Kim (#10). This would be so cute on a tree with a bunch of them!

  5. Barbara Murfield says:

    All the ornaments are great. It was hard to choose, but #1 is my favorite followed closely by #6.

  6. #6 is my fav

  7. Margie Hunter says:

    I’ll vote for number 10, the snowballs, but they are all great!

  8. Claudia Davis says:

    Definetly #6 is my favorite, but all are lovely.

  9. Debbie White says:

    I believe my favorite ornament would be the #6-etched glass ornament by Niki. I like the fact that it can be customized for whatever style a person likes.

  10. OK, they are all winners in my book, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be the bead and glitter ornaments!! They are stunning!!

    Good luck to everyone!

  11. Donna Woods says:

    It is tough, but I will have to say #3. They are all great though.

  12. I like #11!

  13. Virginia Burnett says:

    I have to say I really like number 3 the spool ornament, I guess because my mother use to be a seamstress before she retired as well as it being mixed media and up-cycling found items.

  14. #10 is my favorite.

  15. I like different things, and those that draw attention. I picked #3, love the spool,(I like to sew) Beads and star because I like glass. Like how they are strung and combined together.

  16. My favorite is #3, you can do so many different things and reuse materials.

  17. #2. The Christmas Ribbon Flower. Followed very closely by #11 Berry Accent ( I flipped a Qaurter to decide!)

  18. Mary Lou sittinger says:

    #5 the cupcakes!!

  19. #5

  20. I liked all of them but have to go with #6

  21. #1

  22. All of the ornaments are very unique and beautiful in their own way, however the snowball ornaments are my favorite. Thanks for all of the inspiration!

  23. They are all wonderful, but I fell in love with the 2nd one Christmas Ribbon Flower Ornament. It is very beautiful.

  24. Wow, they’re all good. I like the cupcakes best. Great job everybody.

  27. I love the Christmas Ribbon Flower ornament the best. It’s certainly an eye catcher!

  28. I really like #10! Those snowball ornaments are just cute.

  29. They are all wonderful, I really had a hard time choosing. They all reflect the spirit of Christmas, But I guess I would have to say the cupcake one, I giggled I little when I saw it:)

  30. Number 2 is beautiful! Looks like a ton of work. Everyone really did an awesome job and I would love to have them all on my Christmas Tree!

  31. I love the Christmas Ribbon Flower Ornament by Sarah F

  32. #9 by Anne. I love glitter and shine! She did a great job but I have to say they all are really nice :)

  33. Karen Deveau says:

    Ilike #2 Christmas Ribbon Flower Ornament by Sarah F. It is very pretty, bright colored, and well crafted. It could even be used to decorate a gift. Nice job Sarah F.

  34. So hard to choose…so many cute ideas!! The etched glass ones are a great idea, and I’m loving anything made from spools these days. But I think the berry ornament has to be my favorite!! SO cute!

  35. I like#5 Cupcake and #6 Etched Glass and #8 Scandinavian Bird and …. You get the picture.

  38. I like #2 the best!!

  39. I like number 2. Sarah did a beautiful job with the ribbon making it look so life like

  40. I vote for #2. So pretty!

  41. I will definitely have to vote for 2) Christmas Ribbon Flower Ornament by Sarah F: She’s my neighbor and I have seen her crafting abilities at work. Sarah is definitely into crafting and she is extremely good at it. She deserves to win. :)

  42. All the entries are really cute, but I’m such a ribbon addict and I think that #2 is way prettier than any of the rest.

  43. I liked #2- Christmas Ribbon Flower Ornament. I love ribbon anyway and love seeing unusual things being made with it. All the ornaments were lovely though!

  44. No. 1 – the school pictures keepsake ornament is my favorite. Adding new ones every year to the tree or a garland will bring memories for you and your child.

  45. Cynthia Bartlett says:

    They are all beautiful but number 2 is so very Christmasy. I have to vote for #2

  46. #5 is super cute, I think it is the most creative!

  47. Lisa Tatem says:

    I like #1 because they’re great presents for the grandparents too. Merry Christmas!

  48. I love to see the kids pictures on ornaments! Number 1 is my favorite…but really all of them are really great!

  49. My favorite would have to be #5 – Cupcakes. Cupcakes are non-traditional and will really stand apart from the other ornaments on my tree. Great job appealing to those of us that have a sweet tooth!

  50. they’re all pretty, but since i have to pick one – #8 Scandanavian Bird! love it… :)

  51. Lela middour says:

    #1 I like that its personalized with the picture! Would be awesome for a grandma

  52. I am absolutely in love with 11) Berry Accents Ornament by Kim M! This one is so gorgeous, I could see using this on my tree, in Christmas flower arrangements, wreaths, etc.

  53. Love them all, but loved the sparkle and glitter of No. .

  54. They are all pretty but I really like the cupcake #5! I love cutesy fun ornaments!

  55. Beth Martin says:

    Every one of these ornaments are made with love! They scream Christmas! #1 Jenny – the school picture ornaments will be cherished year after year, and I have to vote for this one!

  56. I love the cupcakes. They are very pretty and not tradicional. Number 5 Sarah did an amazing job. Would love to have them on my tree. Good luck.

  57. I like #4. Love the layering, and would definitely hang those on my tree!

  58. My fav by far is the Cupcake Ornaments by Sarah B! It’s adorable and fun! I love it!

  59. I’m torn between the snowflakes and the berry accents, so I thought, which one would I want to put on my tree? Berry Accents! Thank you for a chance to win and everyone did a wonderful job in this ornament challenge!

  60. One ornament is MORE beautiful than the next. But my absolute fav is:

    Etched Glass Ornament by Niki

  61. I like number 1. You could make the same ornament each year, embellished differently, and watch the changes in your child. The tree would be a memory tree of the special person you chose for the ornament.

  62. they are all great, but my favorite is the etched glass ornament by niki. it just looks so pretty. thanks for the chance to win.
    merry christmas to all.

  63. Carol Douglass says:

    I ha this, as I am sure everyone else did. I am going with the non-traditioanl and the oh-so-cute #5. The cupcake is adorable.

  64. I like #1. Don’t get to see many photo ornaments lately.

  65. They are all great but I would choose #4 The wooden snowflakes.

  66. First let me say the are all beautiful and all deserve to win! But if I have to pick, I have to go with number one because the favorite ornaments on our tree are the ones the kids made in Sunday school or grade school and they have their pixs on them. We love pulling them out year after year and seeing those cute little faces that now belong to 24 and 22 yr olds!

  67. Julie Shearer says:

    They are all great . I really like # 3. I like mixed media.

  68. I’m not sure I can narrow it to 1 but 2 jumped at me- the ribbon poinsettia and the cupcakes.

  69. Like choosing your favorite child! They’re all beautiful and fun. The one that tugs a little bit more on heartstrings is the Berry Accents ornament. A fun and inspirational collection of ideas. Thanks.

  70. #2 Is my favorite. Love it!!! great job!!!
