Christmas Crafts

Something came over me, oh yeah it was Pinterest, and I decided to try my hand at some of the cute crafts that have been pinned all around me.

#1 Christmas Art
I printed off some different Christmas prints and framed them. I really like how this first one turned out. I think the red frame adds a lot to it. I put it on the ledge above the sink. I enjoy looking at it while I do the dishes.
 The other print I framed is cute, but doesn't make me smile as much as the other one. I placed it over on our shelves in the family room right in front of Jackson's Advent tree.

#2 Christmas Banner
I printed off the Merry Christmas letters on card stock. I bought three different scrapbook papers and glued the letters on to them. I punched two holes and then strung silver rope through the letters.
I had Brian hang the banner in our dinning room. I think it turned out well and like see it hanging there. 


#3 Christmas Flowers
This is not Pinterest inspired. I just needed something more wintery in the entry way. I like the way the red and gold look together with the "dead" branch.

#4 Jackson's craft
Also not Pinterest, rather Bible inspired. After reading our advent story for the night about the Shepards and our great Shepard. Jackson enjoyed gluing on the cotton balls. We wrote his new memory verse on there as well. He added his own drawings; a manager with baby Jesus and a racetrack for the race cars.

Wow! You really went "craft crazy!" They all look great. One of my favorites is the picture you framed for over the sink and I love the table runner and decorations on your kitchen table and the banner. It really brightens up your kitchen and makes it all look festive. Way to go!!!!! The BEST, of course, is the darling little boy holding the sheep!!!!!!!!
