Now that Thanksgiving is over, I can officially begin thinking about Christmas. I try very hard to not start thinking about it before. If I do, I forget how important Thanksgiving is. I did, however, make one provision this year.
Amber, Kelly and Shawnda working diligently. :-)
Kelly cutting pockets.
Just a small glimpse of our mess!
Shawnda, Amber and Stacey take a second to pose for the camera.
This is the second calendar I made for myself. I actually made it yesterday afternoon. Shawnda brought burgandy and darker green felt with silver trim for hers and I loved it so much that I had to have one. This picture and the next show what it looks like with all the ornaments on. This is what it will look like on Christmas Day. You only put one ornament on each day. Each ornament corresponds with the scripture for that day.
And this last picture is the first calendar I made with traditional red and green trimmed in gold.

I love this! I really like the darker one. Do you think grandparents would like one, too? Looks like a great way to tell children about the real meaning of Christmas.
Love,

I look like death warmed over...
MUST....KEEP...SEWING....
Nicole!!! You made another already! It looks great and I love how you outlined the pockets - did you do that with paint? Ours is going well - I've only had to repair two ornaments so far, but the boys love it. James is a bit wiggly, but tonight I pulled out a picture Bible so that he could look at the picture of the story while the scripture was being read -- much better :)
Amber - Yes, Shawnda left her extra material and I loved it so much that I just had to make one!! And yes, I outlined the pockets with paint. I thought that was how Kelly's was, then I saw hers the other day and realized it's not...Oh well! :-) Emma doesn't like to sit still for the longer scriptures either, so we have started trying to shorten some of them or use her picture Bible when we can. :-)
