December Wrap-Up

At the beginning of December I came up with another photo-a-day challenge.

 I used my phone camera & I edited with instagram (You're welcome to follow me if you'd like) to make things easy. If you've been following me on Facebook, you've likely already seen some of them.

  Here's this month's photo-a-day recap:

Merry Christmas!

I just wanted to stop in & say a big Merry Christmas & thank you to each of you!

I'm taking a blogging break (as many others are) for the next couple of weeks while we celebrate Christmas - our Saviour's birth. 

Have a wonderful Christmas with your family & loved ones.

I'll be back briefly before the New Year to share the photo challenge for January.

Thanks for your love & support this past year. It's because of each of you that I find blogging very rewarding.

Merry Christmas!

Pretty Ribbon Christmas Card Display

  I'm happy to report that I'm pretty much finished my Christmas preparations.

Shopping?

Check.

Wrapping?

Check.

Baking & Food Gifts?

Check, Check, Check, and Check.

Christmas crafts?

Lots of checks there. And more I would like to add! :)

Decorating?

As of today - check!

I have at last put up my ribbon Christmas card display - the last of my decorating this year.

It's quite easily made with two widths of ribbon (non-wired), some pretty paper clips, & a smaller width of ribbon to attach the paper clips.

Start by cutting your ribbons to the length of your door (or wherever you plan to hang your display). Notch the ends.

Layer the ribbons & pin at alternating lengths, allowing space for both portrait (10") or landscape (7") oriented cards.

Tie small lengths of the narrowest ribbon to your paper clips & stitch to ribbon.

Tack to the top of your door(s) & display your Christmas cards!

Now that my Christmas prep is pretty much done, I can enjoy Christmas break with my family & if I choose to do more crafting or baking, it's just gravy, so to speak. 

I hope you're getting your to do list done & have some time to enjoy the season too.
