It's Christmas Time

So, it's been a while since I've updated you all on my projects... and there's good reason.  No.. it's not because I haven't been doing anything... or because I've been procrastinating... it's because I can't tell you!  So, stay tuned, I will have to update you on those in the New Year. 

I have, however, had some time to decorate a little around the house.  We are gone for most of December, so I didn't go crazy with the decorating, but I wanted to see some of my favorites around the house, even if it is only for a few weeks.  With no tree up, I decided I still liked looking at my ornaments, so I put them in a big glass vase, put it on the table and now it's a beautiful center piece! 

I have a picture frame hanging in the kitchen all year round that I wanted to make a little christmasy.  I took some cute Christmas scrapbook paper and cut it to fit the frames.  Really easy and made the picture frame feel like part of the Christmas decor.

The last project I want to share with you is another Christmas filler for a picture frame.  My inspiration came from http://www.wordle.net/create  I took Bible verses from Luke 2 (the Christmas Story) and put them into wordle.  (a website that basically makes a collage of the words you type into the website.)  I couldn't quite figure out how to print the picture big enough for my picture frame so I recreated it using my Cricut, glue and some paper.  I should warn you though, if you do not like tedious work, then this is not for you.  (yes, I am crazy and acutally glued each letter!) 

I think it turned out quite nicely and is a great reminder of the true reason for the season.
