The photo that went in our Christmas card this year...which A FEW of you will be getting in the mail SOMETIME this week. Let's just say we were a little...tardy.
I made this garland one night using construction paper, red file folders, a silver calligraphy marker, silver brads, a star-shaped stencil, tiny razor blade cutter, and a long silver fabric ribbon...all things I found in the house. (Which is very odd, considering I am not a "crafter" in any way...although I did try to do collage journaling for a while, maybe that's where some of it came from...?) It took about 3 hours. And yes, it was an insomnia night.
Lucy doesn't know how to hold her surprise chewy stick. But she reminds me of some cigar-waving wise guy..."Lishen heere, sheee, I'm gonna give you one more chance, sheee..."
I went super cheap this year with the tree, and liked it that way. Found red beads that hadn't been used for a few years and bought rolls of red raffia (for about $1.99 each - only used one), cut it into even lengths and tied each in a plain knot on random branches. They curled from being on the roll. So easy.
Ricky gets the urge to take a nap even from simply watching ME do work.
We have a trio of tiny trees so we can have something lit in the room we watch television in, where we put up a very small amount of our older or more favorite unique ornaments.
Shiloh, uhhh, needs a bath. Pomeranians are hard, yo. The hair. It just...keeps growing, and the undercoat, MY GOD the undercoat.
