Pillow

I made this pillow for Leslie as a Christmas gift.  I took it to McCall and gave it her there.  This is really just the "prototype" and I am making another.  I was actually pleased with the way this turned out but I want to make a larger version with a little more bling.  The colors matched her bedding at the cabin perfectly.

Merry Christmas

We were so blessed that Santa Claus was able to visit with us on Christmas Eve.  The entire family was  thankful that he took an hour out of his busy schedule to stop by our family celebration.  We spent the evening with at my parents with my siblings and all of my nieces and nephews.  That is what makes our Christmas special.
 
My children, Tim & Megan, Mitch & Gabriel, and Mollie are the reason that I enjoy my Christmas'.  I am proud of the people that my children have become and I adore my grandson, Gabe, more than words can say.  I am grateful that they are such loving, caring and giving people.

As Catholics, we are still celebrating Christmas until the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6.  Hopefully, you all had a most holy celebration and that the peace and joy of the season remain in your hearts throughout the year!

Joy


I stained and covered these letters with paper.  Then I embellished them with rhinestones, ribbon, bells, tinsel, chipboard and a poinsettia.  This is one of my mom's Christmas presents.

Noel

These are the letters that I made and Mollie gave to Margaret for Christmas.  I stained the letters.  Covered them with paper.  Embellished them with ribbons, bells, letters, glitter and bling.  I think that they turned out lovely.  The papers are My Mind's Eye.  Love these!

Don't believe; Won't receive!

Creative Scrapper sketch #135. I am trying to use up some of my stash and these My Mind's Eye papers seemed perfect for these photos. I stitched a scalloped circle and then layered papers over it. I stamped the trees. Created the St. Nick banner and made the little card which reads, if you don't believe, you won't receive! The photos are of Mollie, Megan and Mackenzie with Santa Claus, Christmas Eve 2007 at my parents!

Remember the Reason

Creative Scrappers sketch #136. I love these Echo Park papers. This photo is of the Immaculate Conception parish party which was held on the Feast of the Holy Family. Each grade presented something and the kindergarten and 1st grade enacted the Nativity scene. I stitched around the background and made a little patchwork design. I cut out ornaments with the Cricut and embellished each one. The title is a reminder that Christmas is nothing without Christ!
