I'm posting at Crafts Unleashed today, showing you how to make a wall clock that is customized with the map of your choice. My plan is to make one of these for each of my kids, using a map of where they were born.  My 4 kids were each born in a different city (and 3 different countries!) so there will be a lot of variety.  What city holds a special memory for you?  I’d love to hear from you in the comments!

It feels wrong to say a Christmas ornament is "sexy", but that's what this one is.  No elves, snow, or bright colors on this ornament.  Just elegantly painted glass in a pattern that's very trendy right now.

Before we lived in a home with a fireplace, my kids used to worry about how Santa would get in the house.  Well, we'd leave a magic key for him, of course!
