Last week Tuesday Courtney and I decided to try making a wreath from this tutorial. I traced the leaves for her, and she cut them out. ALL 30-40 of them! Very patiently, quickly, and carefully!
I stapled them onto the cardboard as she cut.
She kept cutting.... and cutting.... I could barely keep up with her!
Here's the finished wreath. Courtney thought Josie ought to have a look at it.
Josie thought she ought to swat at it... surprising Courtney, making her jump back and her tails fly!!
There. Now just look through nicely, Josie:
Yeah, Courtney... you, too!
So that was a little bit of Christmas crafting fun! We'll have more fun this weekend. And so I'm taking a blog break until next week sometime.... to finish getting ready, and then for some family time. I hope you all have a beautiful Christmas (even if it's not white, which is perfectly acceptable in my book!)! And don't forget the REAL reason we celebrate CHRISTmas!!
P.S. Happy Birthday, Grandma H !!

Thanks you made my day with this post. Merry Christmas, have a great wk end. Hi to Jess and Alex.
Sweet project. I have the supplies for a kids craft. But not much time or energy to see it through. They are to cut doves from craft foam with a slit. Then fold paper accordian style to slip the the slit for wings. Perhaps we will get them ready for next year. . .
Hi Grandma G! I thought I'd come over here and see your own blog, and I found this post. I made a wreath this Christmas too, from the same tutorial: http://toftsnummulite.blogspot.com/2011/12/trees-for-life-not-just-for-christmas.html
Hi, Nina! Thanks for stopping by! You know, I think I actually saw your wreath first and went to the tutorial from there! I don't remember how I found your blog, though. Anyway, your wreath looks a lot better than mine. :)
I hope your mom enjoys making your Hipster! ;) You think Jess will really make me a little bag? Haha.
P.S. Nina... wait till you see my upcoming post! We have another little crafting project in common! ;)
