Here is the gift I wrapped for Emelie's birthday (containing the reindeer pillow shams). Merwin made a shipping box that just fit the gift box, not leaving room to put anything protective over a bow so it wouldn't get smashed. So I printed several copies of these birthday balloons and cut pieces out to layer with double backed tape decoupage-style. You can't really see the layering in the picture, but I was pleased with the result.

And here's the little hedgehog card made from a Durene Jones set "Mr Hedgehog". 

I made these queen size pillow shams with a fabric panel plus borders. They are a birthday present for Emelie (early October). They will look nice with the quilt I made her and be a quick and easy way to add a festive touch to her bedroom for the holidays as well as being easy to store when not in use. I used a zipper closure on the backs and free-motion quilted around the reindeer, birds and ornaments with silver metallic thread. 

Here's a picture of a little "fairy house" (with owls in front of it) that Merwin and Iris made together when she was here in August. She wanted to leave one side open so she could decorate inside. Then she selected a piece of  fabric from my stash for a rug. The shingles on the roof are made with a pinecone.
