Tips Tuesday! Recycle Christmas Cards


Tips Tuesday! Recycle Christmas Cards

I absolutely LOVE getting Christmas cards in the mail in December. Something other than a bill is awesome and you get to see who thinks of you during the year. Those cards pile up after the holiday so what do you do? I sort through mine and keep 3-4 to paste into my scrapbook for that year...usually one with a nativity, a tree, snowmen and something glittery (I do love some sparkle) The rest become masterpieces to don gifts with the next year. Carefully snipping around certain pictures on the card, keeping them whole, adding a string...imagine next to a bow on the wrap next year how beautiful they will be! Just knowing that I am passing these beauties onto the next person makes me smile :)

Remember to start cutting before you put your Christmas wrap items away for the year so you can store them nicely with all of your supplies. How will yours be displayed?

What the Heck?! Wednesday....Shamrock

So, today for "What the Heck?!" Wednesday, I decided to look up the word "shamrock" seeing as how we just passed St. Patrick's Day. Here is the weirdest photo that came up when I googled it....
 
 
Guess they are referring to Shamrock Shakes at McD? Green Ronald is kind of spooky...

Things to Do Thursday! Paper Plate Rainbows

Looking for a fun craft to do with the kids for St. Patty's Day? It is Things to Do Thursday and I found a great craft to do just that! 

1. Take a paper plate and paint all the way around in a rainbow design beginning with the outer edge in red, next line inward in orange, then yellow, green, blue and purple. 

2. After it dries, cut the paper plate in half horizontally so you will end up with 2 rainbows (2 plate halves)

3. You can then add your own hanging design; long strands of crepe paper that coordinate with each color of the rainbow or a few strands of store bought shamrock metallic garland.

If you are looking for a way to attract the leprechaun, this is a good way to do it. 

Have fun!!
