Christmas This & That

I'll admit it-my blog needs some focus.  But, here's to delayed and out of order posting.

We are working our way through the alphabet at home--Honey and Snuggle-bug are quick to tell me which letter we need to make a craft for next, but they don't like to practice writing the letters very much.  For 'E,' we did Evergreen--painted with pine branches (a very messy and short-lived experiment!) 
 and made wreaths by cutting out the middle of paper plates and gluing on buttons.
'F' was Flower (poinsettia, to be exact).
 'G' was Gift--Jesus is God's gift to us.  We tried a little watercolor resist, to make the baby stand out inside the gift outline.  Eh.
'H' was Holly, but I don't think I took a picture.  I made a leaf shape by cutting up a sponge, but it was difficult to use.  The berries were made with round sponge brushes I already had.
