Ballerina Ornament

Ballerina Ornament by Lilleaf
Get an ornament from Zazzle.

My daughter started ballet this year so I made this for all the little ballarinas in the world! Wonderful ornament for any ballerina to have. The front features a pink silhouette of a ballarina with a custom space for name, year or any text you like. The back has a space for your own ballet picture.

Lavendar Wedding Shower Invitation A beautiful invitation for a beautiful bride to be! It features a lavendar hydrangea at the top and a lavendar and white polkadot pattern on the bottom. A graphic of a green ribbon and bow separate the two. All text is customizable. Just my favorite. I saw a bridal shower invitation on another site using a similar flower but it was so plain. I think I did a MUCH better job!
