Whatever Girlfriends

Hi, Girlfriends!!!!!!  Today was fun!  I should invite you all to come join us so you can have as much fun as we did. First, I need to show you what I did for each of my girls for Christmas.  I already showed you the jars I etched for them.  Here is a picture of one of the scarfs I did: It is a thin fabric scarf and I wrote words describing my daughters on it with a fabric marker.  You could also write a poem  or a scripture if you wanted to. Now back to this day's activities.....we mainly did glass etching and candle making.  Well, the girls and I did the etching and Mark made the candles for us. Lindsey is working on a chevron pattern using painters tape.   This is a big ole Q on a jar for my Q-tips to go in. Our work table - colorful! Two candle holders Nancy is working on. And a jar full of wooden clothes pins with a cute lady bug to be etched onto. A mug with the word "love" that turned out ...

I hope you are enjoying this Christmas Season!  I have done a few fun projects.  One of the first of the season was coming up with decorations for our tree.   Mark helped me.  We put our elf hats on, went outside and gathers our materials then sat outside and got creative!  We moved at the end of the summer and we have not unpacked much since we don't know when or where we might go from here.  So instead of finding our Christmas decorations we went with a semi-natural decor.  We gathered lots of pine cones and glittered them unmercifully!  It was fun!  I had some picks of roses and greenery and stuck them in the tree then we put the glittered pine cones on the tree.  We wanted some garland so we found tiny pine cones  added glitter again, then strung them on jute.  I made stars out of vines and jute and put them on the tree, too. Hank added the candy canes, of course!!! It turned out nicely.  ...
