Christmas in March
It has been unseasonably warm here in MIchigan, quite weirdly so. To get in the Christmas mood, I worked in the basement where it was cool enough to need a sweatshirt, and watched a couple ABCFamily Christmas movies. I had a great time and the projects turned out cute.
I know that nobody else is thinking about Christmas right now, but maybe it will inspire you to start collecting buttons for a similar project....around November. Go to my friends at Blumenthal Lansing to find the buttons I used here. And later on in the year when this gets published, we will talk about how to turn them into a cute tree.
Fun to use your Vitamin C when it seems craziest!
Gathering
Last night was the women's Christmas Gathering at church. For me, it is a nice way to start the Christmas season. Women from the church bring their co-workers, family members, friends, and neighbors. Dinner is catered.
The hostess of each table sets a holiday extravaganza. They get quite creative. Every table is beautiful.
We get to know each other, eat, and sing Christmas carols. Last night our speaker was Cathy Tanana who is the women's ministries director at another local church. She leads a bible study with the Detroit Tiger wives. She told us about her life as a baseball wife.
When I am the boss of Christmas, we will do activities like this in celebration, we will hang pretty lights, eat Christmas cookies, and sing a lot. We will not shop till we drop and spend small fortunes buying gifts. I will let you know when I am in charge of that...
Till then, find some meaningful, fun, and relaxing ways to do Christmas, and..,
Take your Vitamin C!
Card Recycle
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father,Prince of Peace.
Use your Vitamin C!
Button Christmas Tree, Chapter 2
Remember when I made this tree for Miss Joann in September? It was for a Michaels webisode, and here it is!
I'd like to thank the Academy....
Kidding aside, thanks Blumenthal Lansing and Michaels for letting me do such a fun and gorgeous Christmas project!
Merry Christmas!
Be Different Act Normal
Gorgeous Button Tree
When the Amazing Helen asked if I would work on this project, I hoped I could do it justice because it had the potential to be awesome. I am not sure it turned out awesomely, but it is quite striking. It is a project for Michaels. I will share with you when and how they use it for the holidays. The buttons are all from Blumenthal Lansing and can be purchased everyday at Michaels.
Start collecting buttons and take your Vitamin C!
