Christmas Photo Cards…Now What?

Don’t Throw ‘Em! Love ‘Em

Got Milk Cards?

Each year I reuse family photos from the cards that were so warmly given to us during the Christmas season.

During the rest of the year I collect freebie magnets where ever I go to make photo magnets.

State Fair, Dental Office, Pizza Place, you get the idea…

Glue the text side of the magnet to the back of the photo card. (To line it up, just hold the card and magnet up to a light source).

Use a scissor to cut around the magnet. For larger photos, cut out entire image,  glue two magnets on the back (toward the top and bottom).

Now, our friends and family will be on our minds all year long!

Happy Holidaze…

Are you in sugar shock just like I am? I am scrapping the bottom of the Peppermint ice cream carton as we speak. There is always January at the Y, right?

My Christmas was delightfully busy yet calm-ish. I hope yours was too!

Baking, giving, reading, visiting and threatening (to take new toys away for crabby behavior -I love this time of the year).

I am pretty strict, unless we are talking about extra cookies after supper, then I cave.

The gifts have been opened

I have been  brain storming some After-Christmas Christmas crafts using Holiday leftovers…no, not ham and potatoes.

Oh, the Weather Outside is Frightful…

But, wrapping gifts with paper bags is delightful…

Jesus is the reason for the season, even in the midst of an oncoming blizzard

Jesus is the reason for the season, even in the midst of an oncoming blizzard of snow (and wrapping paper).

Let me warn you, if you start to wrap gifts with paper bags, ribbon and jingle bells and you have some sort of brown-paper-packages-holiday-sickness (like I do), you’ll wrap and wrap until you have to dump out your recycling bag to get more paper. Like I did…er, I mean was tempted to do. Oh, who am I kidding, I did dump it out…What? It was just a Coke can! :)

Merry Christmas!

Love,

Jess
