a paper garland.

Mog came sauntering into the kitchen with some leftover paper strips that I had cut and left on the coffee table during last night's Christmas card making endeavors. And that was all the inspiration it took. Of course! Those leftover strips are perfect for making paper garland, the kind we always used to make as kids. Easy, peasy, and Eliot loved it. After wearing it draped around his neck for awhile, we hung it on the Christmas tree. It was totally fun to work on a simple little crafty project that Eliot could get involved in. I see many a paper garland in our future! :-)

a paper snowflake.


From a vintage Christmas hymn book. With Stickles glitter on it for that added beautifimousness.

I am loving Stickles. I want to put it on everything. I want to eat it so that I can poop beautiful glitter. It IS non-toxic...
