Getting into the Christmas spirit







We've been getting into the Christmas spirit here - on a very tight budget. But, I love making things anyway, just trying to get the priorities right. The advent calendar felt houses were ready for Sam getting back from school on the 1st...phew. Now, it's the tree decorations and Christmas cards.

  9. oh my! I adore your advent calendar. And did you make those felt balls? I love them!!! I have some cheapie pom-poms strung into a garland, but I long for the beauty of felt balls instead.

  10. Your decorations are wonderful!
    I fondly remember making paper chains with my two when they were younger. Always seeing who's would be the longest!
