The children are finally out of school. YAY! To keep the children focused and having fun, we created this “Christmas Family Fun Chart”. I find that if I’m organized things are fun and keep on track…otherwise we end up with chaos and I just can’t wait for the kids to go back to school. WeContinue reading “6 days till Christmas”

This is December 8th craft. I made this for my children and the other children athe their bus stop loved it so much I thought it would be fun to make them one too. December 7th Candy laden Christmas tree. This was an idea my Mom gave me and so much fun!  Fun for all ages!

Finished my Christmas cards (finally)! Woo Hoo!! Can’t believe how relieving that is. I will be sending these out today. In the meantime I’ll be working on elf hats for these guys (10th day of Christmas crafts) and dried oranges for the 9th. How’s your Christmas countdown coming?

I got this idea at a local craft store at their after Christmas sale last year and just saved everything for this year. Here is what you will need: Large vase, string of lights, berries for filler, flameless candle (preferably), pine cones, ribbon (not shown) and puff ball snowmen ornaments. Arrange lights around candle. To getContinue reading “12 days till Christmas”

I’m counting singing in the choir as the craft for Sunday because there was so much time in practice and sacrifice to make it a success. And it was. The finale was the Messiah’s “Halelujah”. It was Majestic! I love to sing in large choirs because you can use the full richness in your voiceContinue reading “13 days till Christmas”

I’ve been wanting to do this for a few years now and am glad I finally got the opportunity. These are the gifts weContinue reading “14 days of Christmas”

So for our Christmas craft countdown we made: 1 construction paper chain Worked on: 25+ Christmas cards after picking up the family pictures….  and started: that scarf I intended to start a week agoContinue reading “15 days till Christmas”

Nothing like tryin to make up for 3 days of Christmas crafts, but I like to think the old addage still rings true that it’s “better late then never”. I have been crafting and cleaning like crazy with what seems like nothing to show for it. Especially when one of the things I’m “crafting” isContinue reading “18, 17 & 16 days till Christmas”

Okay, small confession. I didn’t do a “craft” today. Although I have a wonderful craft to share, courtesy of my amazing friend Margaret and her beautiful “Cranberry Heart” ornaments. Instead, today I worked on Jewelry orders and ga-gaed over my new watch face order. That’s right! My watch faces are here!! So now, you can goContinue reading “19 days till Christmas”

Today I made something I’ve been wanting to make for quite some time. I am very pleased with how it turned out. what do you think? (again, I apologize for the lighting, I got around to taking pictures after the sun was gone!) I don’t have a tutorial for this one since I just madeContinue reading “20 days till Christmas”
