December 13: Simple Cards

I made a simple card today with a simple message for the season, complete with its very own glitter star I created using Doodlebug Sugar Coated Glitter and white glue. The busy-ness of the season can quickly overwhelm me, so I keep things simple... my most looked forward to times are with my family & friends. The best things in life are really the simple things...

December 12: Memory Garland

Hmmm.... what to do with the Christmas cards we all get? I have a hard time throwing many away and have started to make a memory garland out of them. I punched them with a 2" circle punch and easily sewed through them back to back on my sewing machine with white thread. We saved special pictures, signatures & thoughts and pretty card designs that we will treasure more through the years as we add to it. Already we see how kids have grown, loved ones have passed on or moved away. This is a keeper!

December 7: A Night in Bethlehem

'Life Changing' is what I have heard about this Christmas program and we are very much looking forward to going this year. Perfect for our families and a much needed lift knowing that He is the reason for everything. If you live in my area, try to make arrangements to come. If you live in another area, try finding a special Christmas program near you...

Here are the details:
Night in Bethlehem is a Christmas experience unlike any other. As a participant, you come dressed in time-period costumes, and enter a tent which re-creates what the city of Bethlehem might have been like. You will have the opportunity to "pay" your taxes, interact with merchants, and sample simple foods. You will hear what the people of Bethlehem might have been saying that special night so long ago. You will see the inn, and watch the sweet young couple, desperate for accommodations, be turned away. You will share the innkeeper's concern, as he directs Joseph and Mary to a nearby stable, where they may find shelter, warmth, and privacy. You will see the shepherds, and experience the joy they did, as everyone witnesses the appearance of a heavenly messenger, bearing the wonderful news that Christ the Savior is born. Lastly, you will see Mary and Joseph and the newborn babe in the stable, witness the gifts of the wise men, and feel the true reason for Christmas, in a way you never have before.

December 4: Oh Christmas Tree

I would have to admit that this is my favorite die cut shape we have ever created. Ever. A simple tree that feels Christmas special. This tree will magically rest on each plate during the Christmas season. We added a magically dusting of white glitter to the star. Folds quickly & easily and securely closes with adhesive. You will fall in love with this little tree!

Tree is found here. Glitter is found here.
