Holidays

I feel the holidays closing in on us rather quickly...so I have been on the look out for those fun ideas that I can mimmick or put together with something entirely different to come up with something fresh. I really don't need anything, I have decorations galore...but what is the season without reason to create...even if to give it away , it is such fun!


I am finding that all sorts of old ideas are coming back again. Last night I went out to the mail box and low and behold another phone book...what is a person to do with all these different phone books..that we seldom use anymore. Well...the old folded Christmas tree, is a splendid project, so I began folding. My husband is always comical when he comes home and sees me doing something new or strange. Although this time he recognized my efforts immediately, I wish I could remember his comments, always unexpected but indearing if even slightly twisted, he makes me smile. Well this project will already be a give away, I have someone in mind. I will have to post a pic. once I finish it. Ireally  had to take a break after at least an hour of folding, this phone book I can tell is the perfect size.
 

<---I had fun making these  last year, to put around this huge mirror in my daughters room 

 

All this paper led me to search out other ideas.... how about the paper beads, flowers, baskets, purses, wreaths, placemats, jewelry ....it is endless in this day of recycling. I am planning on making some garland for the tree this year maybe with news paper who knows. The wheels are turning....... :)
