  1. I made these this past Christmas and brought them to work and hung them in my cube. Everyone in my office thought they were the most darn adorable and cutest thing ever! I am now just exploring the rest of your blog, I am excited to see you are base out of MN, which where I live too. It’s so awesome that you are base here. I follow a lot of blogs and have never crossed anyone from MN. Yeah!! I will be following your blog and will “like” you on Facebook and follow you on Pinterest.

  2. So cute and perfect. I saw some with jute cord where they hung from with little clothes pins with sockings hung.
