Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas! I can't believe it's Christmas eve. I'm feeling more in the spirit since I'm done working for the day. I have to clean up the house after all the hustle and bustle of this week... but other than that I'm ready.
Since we have over 3 feet of snow... UGH. I've been feeling crafty and rather in the spirit to make and give. So here are a few things I have whipped up this week.
Some delicious fudge was made. MMMM. So good. It was handed out to bosses and friends.
These cute little bottles. I love how these turned out. They are starbucks frapacinno bottles that I saved and converted into these cute gift bottles.
Then yesterday I was at Michael's and picked up a plain green wreath for 1.25!! I then bought these bundles of berries (which I took apart) for .24 each bundle! So for a total of about 2.50 I made this wreath. I love how it turned out.
Last but not least-- not something I made- but a reminder of the reason for Christmas.
It was Christmas eve that we celebrate Mary and Joseph being faithful enough to follow a star, which in turn was following God. I can't say that I wouldn't be struck with pride and doubt if I found myself in their same situation. Their families and community didn't support them but they knew this was God's plan to be carried out. It's because of their faithfulness to God's plan that we are able to celebrate this season the blessing that Christ came to earth to live life like one of us. No he didn't have a cell phone, or fear being laid off from his job, he didn't deal with infertility, or even wondering what was next. But he faced the same stuggles in different situations... no less valuable than ours. He's felt our pain. He's given us Hope. Tonight we celebrate the coming of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Come and let us adore HIM!
Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas Christy!
Merry Christmas crafty lady. Wow, just think what you could do if you had more than 1 day off! I hope you had a wonderful day.
Hope you had a great Christmas!
Joseph and Mary traveled because of the census. Perhaps you are thinking of the shepherds and the magi who followed a star. Yes, Joseph and Mary were faithful to obey and follow God's plan.
