Shabby Glittery Sand Dollars!

One of my farmgirl sisters gave me a basket of sand dollars!
 Did you know there are the sweetest shell like doves inside of a sand dollar? My little man and I got up early one morning and cleaned and glittered them...
I thought they turned out gorgeous and it made my heart sparkle to share some creating time with my little man!
Don't you just love antique baby photos...
and antique ornaments...

 Make it Fabulous for less tip~ Add an easy pretty tag to your Holiday creations using pretty glittery scrap booking letters! You can find them for $1 sheet at Wal-Mart!


I am so excited about the Holidays and I am sooooo thankful for all of my blessings!
If you love beautiful blogs check out some of these darling ladies I am partying with!
I will be by to visit you soon! Have a Fabulous Day!
Hugs,

  7. Miss Olivia, the sand dollars turned out lovely! Here is the story about the Sand Dollars I was telling you about.....


    There's a pretty little legend
    That I would like to tell
    Of the birth and death of Jesus
    Found in this lowly shell

    If you examine closely,
    You'll see that you find here
    Four nail holes and a fifth one
    Made by a Roman's Spear.

    On one side the Easter Lily,
    Its center is the star
    That appeared unto the shepherds
    And led them from afar.

    The Christmas poinsettia
    Etched on the other side
    Reminds us of His birthday
    Our Happy Christmastide.

    Now break the centre open
    And here you will release
    The five white doves awaiting
    To spread Good Will and Peace.

    This simple little symbol,
    Christ left for you and me
    To help us spread his Gospel
    Through all eternity.

  8. The starfish are so perfect for hanging!! I will turn my shell collection into ornaments..., but have to drill holes in all of them first!
