My finishing isn't the best in the world, and one day I hope to have all the tools to do them up properly, but I am happy with the way they turned out. :)
Hope you all enjoyed them. I am off to finish a fourth ornament which I hope to have posted within the next day or two. :)

Wonderful finishes! I especially like the Joy ornament! Poo on it being retired!
Congratulations on your finishes! They all came out beautiful. I liked the way you finished Christmas Alphabet with the little ring on top and the lace around the edges. I have been wanting to decorate my edges on my finishes, but just haven't figured out a good way of doing that yet. Little by little, we achieve these abilities!
Take care.
