It feels like the air just got knocked out of you.
It feels like the tears won’t ever stop.

 Here it is again, a crafty Tuesday edition of handmade Christmas ornaments. This one turned out really cute and I think would also look great with a monogram letter in the center for a hostess gift! The total materials for this one set me back 30 cents plus the spray of leftover spraypaint I had in the garage. Looks pretty classy for 16 cents, no?
 I have been off the blogging bandwagon for a bit now...but I do have a good excuse. Our newest farmhand was born 2 weeks ago in another amazing homebirth. We count ourselves blessed beyond measure to be the parents of 6 beautiful children, there will be more pics to come but my regular posts may take awhile to get back into the groove of doing.
Merry Christmas from our little homestead to yours!  photo courtesy of: Beyond Sunday Mornings Often as we see manger scenes or read of the birth of Christ in Luke chapter 2 we have a tendency to not think beyond the images we see. We see images and we think yes, we are celebrating the birth of a very special baby, but what do you think it was really like that night he was born? I often like to put myself in the shoes of another to gain a better understanding of their feelings, emotions, and situations. I was not there, I do not know but what my Bible states, I know that Mary was just a person, a young lady, with human feelings, emotions, and sensations.
 The Charlie Brown Christmas special has always been one of my favorites. I even had the vinyl version of the story, complete with turn the page prompts, that I keep tucked away safely to this day among my favorite Christmas memories.
This is one of my favorite posts from the 2015 Christmas season so I have to share it again...I am hoping that though hugely pregnant I can still pull this one off for my kids again this year.
2014 was the beginning of this crazy tradition, it stuck like the sugary sweet mortar that binds these beautiful creations. Here is the first year's post in case you were curious.
We have always made gingerbread houses, but until 2014 they were the store bought kits and since we only bought one, the kids all fought over the architectural nuances and design themes since they all had to share. Enter in some friends who had a fantastic solution. One had the recipe, the other the famous design tools and the gingerbread making party was born. |
