    Gingerbread house

    As promised…the gingerbread house made at school. There was more sugar than should be legal in a classroom!

    The three bears crack me up…

    especially when there is a fourth hiding behind a tree.

    Wow, I just realized this was my 4th post of the day. I guess I’ve had things to say just no time to say them. Today was no exception but I did manage to get a ton of stuff done…apparently I work best under pressure.

    Tea Tuesday

    Good morning. I’m enjoying some herbal tea in another pretty cup borrowed from my mom. It looked so nice sitting next to the Christmas tree and the wooden Nativity my Uncle Bill made for me when I was a teen.

    Hopefully later I’ll have a shot of the graham cracker gingerbread house from school today.

    Stop by Kimmie’s blog to see what the rest of the Tea Tuesday bloggers are doing today. You find the links on the sidebar.

    The 8th and 9th days of Christmas

    Yesterday, I had the pleasure of opening this page from Patt. It’s very clever. Spots for the cow and the frothy milk. Very fun!

    The 9th day of Christmas is my page so it wasn’t too surprising for me.
    I didn’t get too carried away with the wrapping, although I wanted to make sure my tag didn’t fall off in transport. I used hot glue to adhere the button on the ribbon.

    I found the image on Flickr commons, which is an excelent resource for copyright free images.

    I used a number of materials on this piece…tissue paper, paint with foam stamp, fabric, instant coffee to stain the cardstock and of course another button.

    Hooray! I’m caught up with my swap posts!

    I think I’ll make myself a cup of tea now…
