Absolutely! Where do you live in Western PA. I see you are a nurse. So is my daughter!

My invite must have gotten lost in the mail. LOL
I don't have pierced ears but those ear rings make me wish I did. The ornaments are lovely.

I love them ... where did you get the ornament blanks?

Japonica

Well, thank you very much!
I bought them at Pat Catan's (craft store here in PA) two years ago. I can't find the blanks like that anymore. I have also made them by etching scenes or words on them. These are made by putting a stencil down, laying the ornament on top, then using Sprinkle/Sparkle ornament glue and a very fine paint brush, I "paint" the stencil on the ornament. Then I take micro glass beads and sprinkle on top, and let dry, then repeat process, then top off with a thin layer of the glue to seal. Never made these before. Very easy. I used Martha Stewarts glass beads (love my 50% off Michael's coupons). The beads remind me of the sprinkles you put on top of sugar cookies! I am going to finish with ribbon to hang. The earrings were inspired from my purchase at a flea market of chandelier crystals. I then ordered the red and green ones from Etsy.

Your Christmas earrings are very nice. I use glass beads to make my own earrings to match my clothing.
