"God loveth a cheerful giver"

And these girls must be the

most cheerful givers I've ever known!

They loved their writing assignment 

of labeling Christmas presents for 

out of town family members!

Uncle JB called one day and

asked Jailyn,

"What do you want for Christmas?"

Without a second thought, she responded,

"Donovan and Elijah need bikes!

That is what I want for Christmas!"

Is she not the sweetest thing?

Homemade ornament!

I guess this is a month of first for me!

First a give away,

and now my first craft tutorial.

This is a fun photo ornament!

I hope you enjoy!

Materials:

4x6 photo

ruler or paper cutter

2 paper fasteners

hole punch

ribbon

Use a special 4x6 photo

(This is mine, of all our footprints in the sand

from the beach this summer -

and an additional heart drawn in the sand

- hoping to add another footprint!)

Cut the photo in 1/2" strips

Add ribbon to on fastener

Use your Hole punch and punch holes in both sides of each photo stip.

Add the fastener to the top and bottom of the strips.

Carefully bend the strips and begin to pull them apart,

rapping them around to form the ornament.

Hang on your tree

and enjoy!

Merry Christmas!
