A Little Bragging

I just have to share some of the crafty Christmas decorating I did around the house. Two friends helped get me started.

My friend Lisa had a Christmas card party where we were supposed to work on our Christmas cards. Well, I sat around talking and admiring all the live arrangements her mother in law had made. Lisa offered the leftover greenery and such to everyone and I took her up on it, thinking, "I will probably let this stuff die, but I am going to give it a try if I have time." I even went around and took pictures with my cell phone of Lisa's arrangements. I have to say, I really enjoyed making these arrangements. I like it much better than working with the fake stuff. I tried to do some cones for Dustin's grave and they were less than desirable, but these turned out nice if I do say so myself! Thanks, Lisa!





Andrea went with me to Michael's where she picked out the stuff to make the tree topper. Again, I had my doubts I could arrange it, but I finally got it! I love it and Reagan said it looks like fireworks. Thanks, Andrea!

By the way we have two trees this year and this is our "fancy"tree.
