No, NOT me!!!
First, take the hanger off a clear yet iridescent ornament ball.
Add a little beach sand. Too much will make it heavy.
Yes, I used a funnel and a scoop after this one, but I liked the antique baby spoon photo.
Drop in a shell. Hurry, two minutes is almost up.
Replace the hanger and tie a bow through the loop.
Using a small scrap of wire, twist it onto the tree.
Yep, that's it.
No need to call in Martha Stewart.
You could get your cat on this.
If he had thumbs.
Be grateful he doesn't.

Dare I say it? I love your balls :)
It's like you encapsulated time and made it look pretty.
We have a bathroom that is a permanent beach house theme. I'm thinking we need to hang a few of these ornaments in there. PERFECT!
I'm with Mel, your balls are marvelous! What a neat idea, how cool to use sand from different beaches you've been to? Love your stuff, Lady!
I like Kim's idea for a permanent beach theme, why not?
simple and gorgeous! loving the color scheme and theme of your holiday decor!
We'll just call you Martha Beachart.
yeah, really bad joke. Painfully so.
Love these ornaments!! I love the iridescent balls, and the sand and shell are the perfect touch.
Ooh. Ahh. All there is to say.
You crack me up! Please promise to take a snap of all your blue beachy stuff together! I am amazing how you've kept this theme going throughout all your decor!
I would have never thought of a beachy christmas tree- how cool is that? I have a serious need for starfish now...
being from Florida and missing the beaches living in in-land NC, I LOVE these!!!
SO cute. I have some mini shells that would be perfect for this! I just need to get ahold of some clear ornaments...
I really like that Sunny!! That would also be a great way to save a memory from a beach trip (for those of us not close). :)
I really LOVE those!!!!!!!!! I hit my goal of 50 links, so be sure to come back next week cuz I'm having a giveaway!!!!! Thanks for linking up to gettin' crafty on hump day!!!!!!! :)
That is just the coolest ornament! I live by the beach and wish I would have thought of that. Well, there's always next year.
Merry Christmas to you! Stopping by from Feathered Nest Holiday party.

I have just the use for these! For the last 18 years my mum and Dad have gone on a holiday to the sun every Christmas but from 2011 they will be staying home so these will make a great gift for them! a reminder of what they are missing ;-)
