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.
