My sister Janelle made this quilt for Abby for her second Christmas. Still just as beautiful as it was 8 years ago and is on her bed every winter.
The kids have made me some pretty cool stuff too. Last year Abby carefully painted, glittered and wrapped her Jesus Shines masterpiece for me. Honestly one of my favorite gifts last year. Aidan had some help from dad on his popsicle frame but it came from his heart.
Finally, this year I'm doing the usual gift cards for the kids teachers and bus drivers but adding our own homemade touch. The gift card holder is an upside down binder clip, covered in Christmas paper and metal clips wrapped in fuzzy yarn. It holds the gift card and then can be used as a picture or recipe card holder.
Don't get me wrong I like store bought gifts too! I'll be the first to admit I don't have the time or energy to hand make all the gifts we give this time of year. So I choose to make what I can and appreciate all that I receive. Merry Christmas!
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
