Getting Busy with my crafting!

It is November! Which means my cooking and crafting mode seem to really seems to be full on!! I have been trying new recipes from THM and I have found several really good new meals to add to my list. And it is good for us! With the holidays coming soon, the food thing can get out of hand, so hopefully this THM will help me not overdo the sugar.

Crafting is my Jam!! I really love to create all kinds of things. Baskets have always been one of my favorites. You can use them in so many ways. The green with the holly and berries and the red with the trees and snowflakes are 8 x 8 and work great when putting together gift baskets for those special friends! I also like to use them for goodies - I will serve muffins in them or pack them with holiday cookies and take them to church! Or put your Christmas cards that come in the mail this December in them. The other one (it is navy with cranberry and gold) and it is about 11X8. I got these baskets at a hamper house and when I went back to get some more - gone!!! I bought a dozen and there are only two left now! #Christmasgifts

I have these on my "Bappy Ju" business sight if you are interested! (Facebook.com/bappyjujuju )

This is my most recent project. It is a shadowbox with lights and I LOVE it!!! A beautiful snow scene with the deer. I also did a manger scene in a shadowbox that is so sweet. I sold it, but plan to make some more.

Tell me what you are making! Are you in a crafting mood yet? I would love to see what you are working on. I have so many projects I really want to work on. The next one will be out of burlap. Once it is done, I will show you.

Merry & Bright, A Devotion

Merry & Bright I love Christmas. I remember as a little girl the magical times my mom orchestrated for our family and friends to truly make the season “Merry & Bright.” They were things like baking the most wonderful Christmas goodies. Lots and lots of of goodies. We would package them up on plates and deliver to shut-ins and special family friends. There were four of us kids, so we did not get out of the car (Mom, working smart here!) I mean, there were no seat belt laws, there were probably not any seat belts! Anyway, She would hop out of the car, run to the door and present our gift and point to us and we would all wave, shout “Merry Christmas!” Sometimes our friends might walk Mom back to the car and say hi and give hugs. Another way Mom made our season “Merry & Bright” was by opening our home for gatherings. Mom was the choir director at our church for many years. She would always have the choir (about 30 members!) and their families over one Sun
