Looking Out My Window ... I've been working for the past few weeks on decorations for my apartment. For this Christmas season, I am done decorating. As time and budget allow, I'll try to add something new each year. My neighbors are already enjoying them.
- About what to do about Christmas. Since everyone is scared to pee without a permit from the government, even a small gathering seems out of the question. How do you spread Christmas cheer like this? Like I said here, I'm done with trying to find any joy for myself in this season of government mandated solitary confinement and media-perpetuated fear, but I'll be hanged if I'm going to be stopped from bringing a smile to someone else's face.
- For Colorado Community Church's lovely Thanksgiving Eve service.
- For a lovely Thanksgiving day with a family from work.
- For a co-worker's negative test results for cancer.
- For an amicable solution to a problem that had been plaguing me for weeks.
- For some wonderful times of prayer and fellowship with God.
- For my nephew, George's completion of truck driving school and the obtaining of his CDL license. I'm a proud Auntie.
From the Workshop...
The latest "Get 'er Done Art Challenge" post is here.
#5 in the Dollar Tree challenge is here.
Since moving to Colorado, every year, I try to find an ornament that kind of represents the year. The other day, I went over to Diana's to make some creations with her Cricut. I decided to make a set of Advent ornaments for my tree (plus a bonus ornament. Each one represents the focus of each week of Advent--all of which we need a truckload supply of right now.
I got a pack of wooden ornaments and some holiday-themed scrapbook paper from hobby-lobby (I'm temporarily off restriction, remember?). I glued the paper to the ornaments, then glued the cut out letters and shapes to the paper. After they dried, I coated the paper with homemade Mod-Podge. I took my gold paint pen and colored the top of the ornament, added a ribbon, and there you go.
