I've been working on a few crafty items this season. One of them is this garland. I first found this idea at
The Homespun Heart. Every year I also make our Christmas cards which are shaping up. The kids have been helping with some watercolor painting.

| The garland features the names of Jesus. |

| We packaged it for gift giving using a fun little canister. |

| You can adjust where the names are on the garland. |
R10 has also been working on some Christmas crafting. She was invited to sell a few things at a local craft fair being sponsored by her sewing co-op. She's preparing just a few things, but it has produced some Miss Bliss tags complete with an email and I even created a little blog for her to share what she is making. Stay tuned for more on that once we go over some guidelines. While I was setting that up for her, I inadvertently changed my own profile so I had to make a new one. Check out the updated me!
Happy Christmas Crafting!

I hope Betsy doesn't read your blog before you give her that gift, or it will ruin the surprise!
already gave it to her! I was afraid that she wouldn't have any decorations since she gave us the tree stand!
Love it! We made our Names of Jesus garland a couple of years ago! We hang it every year!
I love the idea of making them and giving them away!
These are beautiful! I'm going to see if I have time to make these. What did you do to add the little color edging around the white circle? I think its adds a nice finishing touch.
Stephanie- I used a sponge to dab onto the ink pad and just brushed it along the edges.

I LOVE that idea! And the packaging! I can even use my cricut which has been lonely these days since my sewing machine has been out!
Oh fun...a Cricut. Don't have one of those!
What a great idea. R10 is quite enterprising and creative. I'll add the garland to my to craft wish list. Thanks for sharing.
