Gingerbread Houses
The kids made their very first ever gingerbread houses this week. My daughter-in-law posted some pictures on her facebook page and I, of course, "borrowed" them. It's moments like these I really wish we could all live more closely to each other. |

Christmas Spirit at the Office
My office is really quite ugly. It's a metal trailer that sits inside the warehouse. I hate it, but I try to keep it as tidy and neat as I can. I am the only woman who currently works in this office and not to be stereotypical or anything, but the guys just don't care much how it looks. I took it upon myself to decorate it for Christmas. I think the guys appreciate it, but would never take it upon themselves to decorate. It makes it seem a little more tolerable for the season.

More Snowflakes
Decided to try some snowflakes with some color. Here's the result:
These are made with glittered wrapping paper...what a mess, but I think they are very pretty!

3D Paper Snowflakes
A couple of years ago, I found a neat 3D snowflake on the internet and instructions on how to make it. I made a whole bunch that winter for the office and the house and one for my granddaughter to take back to Florida with her when they were here for Christmas that year. I didn't make any last year, but this year V hit me up for some help making a bunch for the classroom. I said I would love to and so the last couple of days have had a chunk of time devoted to cutting out and making these snowflakes. They really are fun to make.
If you are at all interested in making this, check out this how-to video on YouTube -
