Christmas Banner

Yes, Christmas is over. But if you're like me, you like to store away ideas for next year.

So here's an idea for you!

I created a hybrid banner from JessicaSprague.com-- a steal of a dollar deal back in November!

I actually made several of these to give as gifts, and on my own I took a little extra time to jazz it up with some distress Stickles (have you tried these out???) in Aged Mahogany and regular stickles in Xmas Red. I love the extra bling it gave to the banner!

Stash this idea away for next year, or better yet... get started on it now!

(found a minute to share a project w/ you!)

Merry Christmas!

Hello my friends...

Thanks for sticking with me! I imagine you have a busy holiday season as I do.

I'm trying to not be over-busy, though. The days are short and I try to make the most of the time I have with my kids who are old enough to keep me on top of all the fun traditions we enjoy this month.

And we're trying to focus on the birth of Christ to keep us centered.

So as much as I love blogging, I may be away for the next few weeks. I will be doing some updates to my family blog as a part of our annual Christmas card/letter, but I may not make it back here until the new year.

Until I'm back, I pray that you too can take time to enjoy the season and celebrate the birth of Christ. Enjoy food, fun, friends, family and a little frivolity!

And I hope to see you sooner rather than later! I'm crafting away in these holidays, so I hope to find time to share a bit of it!
