Guess what time it is? It's FLUFFING TIME. Michael's have their miniature trees out and I have bought four (so far), that's right four miniature trees that I will be fluffing out and trimming to start lighting and decorating. Possibly five, I have to excavate the closet but I think I have one in there. I have lots of beads which will be turned into miniature ornaments over the next couple of weeks. Already have some new designs I want to try along with some of last year's designs still being used. Most likely one tree will be Rainbow, another tree to be white-clear-gold, another silver-clear-blue.

Here are a few of the miniatures I have designed for this year's mini trees.
These are made from mesh beads with glass rondelles being used to reduce the size of the openings in the mesh beads. To get additional ornaments from the designs, I added the dangle of a Clear AB teardrop. Traditionally, I will have the teardrop with the tapered end pointing downward.
