FROZEN INSPIRED SNOWFLAKE ORNAMENTS

Here is another great project to make with your kids...

it uses the mini craft sticks so it will be easier for little

hands to work with....

of course you could use regular-sized Popsicle sticks I am

sure...if you want them to be larger...

I like the glitter they put on them...

kids love sparkly things!

PAPER CHAIN SNOWMAN CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN

I have to admit that I have never been a big fan of

crafting with toilet paper rolls...although I have seen some

really beautiful things done with them...such as creating paper scenes

inside of them...those are really awesome...

but where I am going here is to say..this is a really cute idea for

kids to countdown the days to Christmas....but I would use

the cardboard tubes from plastic wrap or aluminum foil...

she specifies 'cardboard tubes' in the supply list for these

so any should work fine...

...this is a very clever idea and a craft that even the little kids

can easily help to make...what a fun family project!

...this is the kind of project I would have done with my

daycare kids if I would have had a computer to help me think of things

back then...love it!

CHRISTMAS CARD PLACEMATS

This is a nice idea...

make your placemats from Christmas cards you

have received...this is another fun project to do with

your kids and grandchildren...

I would add a little note in the corner saying

who your family got the cards from...what year...and who put

together the placemat...

what a fun idea!

I just wanted to put this one in

was the first gift my husband gave me after I met him..

it so much...

not many instructions but easy to figure out...

SCRAPBOOK PAPER ANGEL ORNAMENTS

What I love about these besides the fact that they are so easy to make...

is that you can do them in so many different colors and designs...

I want them scattered all over my house and I am going to have fun

cutting them out as I sit and watch TV in the evenings...fun fun!

I can't think of anywhere in the house that these wouldn't be cute ...

kitchen cabinets...microwave door...hanging from knobs and

towel bars...how about along the bottom of your bathroom mirror...

from chandeliers...bed headboards...and on and on and on...

don't forget to hang one from your computer monitor!

I could get carried away with suggestions on how to display

something as cute as these...

whatever you do...have fun with them...let the kids join in and

maybe...just maybe...making some each year will create one of

those special Christmas memories for all of you!

...enjoy your angels!
