Christmas Crafting Part 2

A simple bouquet of felted white flowers.  

That is what I made last night while watching 'A Christmas Story' with the family. It was a great night. Fire roaring, kids all cuddled up watching their Daddy's favorite Christmas movie.

I think they make a sweet embellishment on a plain paper gift bag. I added a simple tag, a bag of my shredded sheet music & listed some in my Etsy shop.

Then I made some tags using a technique I learned from Lesley at Flatwood Folk Art Studio.  It is an awesome process of layering paper, chaulk & a photo transfer.  I made a boy tag too...

Today we hung some of the garland Lily made.

We are having so much fun this year, the kids are at such a great age. Last year they were still afraid of Santa, this year they got to have breakfast with him! It is such a magical time of year, and wonderful to see through the eyes of my children. I get so much joy from passing down traditions from my own childhood, and also creating new ones. My son asked today if we could 'put on our jam's and blankets, then go driving in the van to look at lights'.  I think that's a new tradition!
