I’ve been trying to wrap up my stocking-stuffer shopping for this year at Hallmark and Pier 1. I have many people to shop for. I found this sweet little 2011 limited edition cupcake ornament at my local Hallmark and discovered that they began their holiday cupcake series last year. I was off to search on eBay for the missed 2010 cupcake! I’m planning to have a small cupcake holiday tree for the first time this Christmas and will share pictures of it =). This post will continue until the series is completed so come back every Christmas to check out my updates. I may decide to include pics of my other non-Hallmark cupcake ornaments in a separate blog post; haven’t decided yet… We’ll see. Please place a request if you are interested in the second blog post idea. P.S. So far the 2010 and 2011 ornament versions do not have string included to allow for the ornament to be hung. Any thin gold but sturdy string would compliment nicely!

Ruth Donikowski has been an artist for as long as she can remember. When she was a little girl, she sketched in pencil on the wall under her parents’ bed and made little dolls from household items. In high school, she painted panoramic murals on the walls. As a Hallmark artist for almost 30 years, Ruth now specializes in using 3D materials like metal and glass to create beautiful mixed-media works of art.
