Love the little button faeries, Nancy! I didn’t have all the elements, so I just ran with it.
Nancy, these are sweet. I am going to try them on my tree and a couple of packages. Maybe even make a pretty garland. Thank you.
OOooh, I pinned this on Pinterest! I sadly have already started my 2011 ornaments, as I’d have shifted to these! What a wonderful project, thank you!
These are so adorable! Dawn from The Feathered Nest sent me here and I’m so glad she did. This is my first time visiting but I know I will be back many times!

I look forward to EVERY Paperwhimsy email I get and I ALWAYS print out your tutorials. I have looked at your Etsy and bought your fabric book tutorial – can’t wait to try it. Of course I have loved Paperwhismy products, especially the crepe paper, everything I have bought there has been top quality. I hope you plan on making more tutorials as I love the one I bought. Have a wonderful day. I don’t do facebook, so this is the only place I can leave a comment!!!
Nancy, you are the best!! 12 fun-filled whimsy days ahead! Love the Paperwhimsy images that you chose. I’m gonna be busy tonight. <3
I do love these little ornaments! I am lucky to have seen them in ‘person” and they really are truly lovely! I will be joining in as soon as I return home from my trip, and maybe even do a few ornaments while I am away.
