Celebrate Christmas Ornament

Where on earth has the month... no year gone?

I swear I was just on Show Me St.Louis with my Thanksgiving crafts and here it's time to go back with Christmas crafts.

So much has happened in those four weeks!! Thanksgiving, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows {can't wait for the final movie!!}, Christmas Choir Concert, coordinating the Boy Scout activity, Cheerleading competition, creating and writing four holiday craft articles for the St.Louis Post Dispatch, decorating the house, endless homework and on and on.

This month I am following the suggestion of some and taking a photo a day. It's a unique way to capture and remember all the things that occur in this incredibly busy month. Once the month is over I'll make a mini album with all those pictures. I'm honestly looking forward to it and looking forward to crafting...just for me!

Tune in during January and I'll share the album with you. For now...here's today highlighted craft as seen on Show Me St.Louis.
