Craft Time!
Here is a great video on how to make a simple gift box for smaller gifts as well as a pretty paper bow. It is a great way to add a nice touch to a Christmas gift. I am sure there is a way you could figure it to make the box different sizes. I am just not good at figuring out the math so I just trimmed mine down to make them a bit shorter.

Getting in the Christmas Spirit
Though American Thanksgiving has not yet come and gone, I have still decided that I am in the mood to start my Christmas decorating and that it isn't the end of the world to start this early. I love paper crafting and developing the perfect colour schemes. I love a certain colour called, according to http://www.yaelf.com/colour, turquoise pale. I wasn't sure how to incorporate this colour into the christmas theme but my exprimador (jeremiah and I have been learning spanish lately, and I find that sometimes I am thinking of the spanish word first) also know as citrus juicer has that colour in it and I decided that it will just have to work. After discovering some scrapbook paper with the colour in it as well as the perfect christmas ball ornaments (they were the last box of the perfect colour at Wal-Mart, I just needed a tall man to help me reach them !!) the scheme began to work.
I am excited to eventually get the tree, and get into the advent season and start to really reflect on the true meaning of the season! I hope you are all looking forward to this blessed holiday in your own special ways!

Remember
I have always loved paper crafts, though I don't do them that often, I always love the idea of them. Especially paper flowers. Today I decided I would try and make a paper flower. So I turned to the Martha Stewart website, which always has great things on it to learn and I discovered a video/instructions on making a paper poppy. So I started crafting and realized that my craft was turning into somewhat of a memorial craft. Here are a few pictures of how it turned out and the website I got it from.
Let us all remember those involved during the wars for their loyalty, dedication and sacrifice so that we may be blessed with the freedom we have today. Thank you.
