Hello and welcome to the Designer Crafts Connection hop!
We are a diverse group of Craft Industry Designers, sharing our creativity through hopping.
We hop on the FIRST MONDAY of each month.  This month's theme is Holiday Gifts.

 For my hop, I'm sharing my Altered Arts Magazine DT post.
This little cutie can be a refrigerator magnet, pin or ornament.
