November Noel Fun

Our November Noel Literacy Night was great! Everyone listened to the staff's favorite holiday stories and made a craft to take home.
These little chimneys with Santa were made by the kids that heard "Santa's Stuck!"


"The Legend of the Silver Pinecone" and, of course, silver glittered pine cones. Oops, no picture of them, but they sure were sparkly!! Just sparkling smiles from mom and son.

Bells and beads on necklaces inspired by "The Polar Express".

A very happy mom with the door prize and two darling "prizes" by her side. Aren't they just the sweetest!?

Sparkles

The camera does not show how these snowflakes sparkle in the sunlight! Wish I knew how to show you how pretty these ornaments really are!
Before Sarah came home last Wednesday she stopped at Michael's and picked up some Swarovski crystals for me so I'd be able to work on ornaments this weekend. Only diamonds and new fallen snow on a bright sunny day sparkle more than these beads! I LOVE to work with these beads made in Austria.
We made ornaments in three sizes, but I think these are the medium and large ones.

This bracelet was made just for Megan! It also is made of Swarovski crystals in clear and Siam (deep red) with sterling silver beads. There are several shapes of beads on the bracelet that make it unique. Most of the jewelry I make is one of a kind and is created with love.

I saw this quote and thought it to be perfect for today.

God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today.
Have you used one to say "Thank you"?
