happy birthday lilie!

my friend had a baby. now adelaide has a friend named lilie. so we made her a little banner. (actually I  made it, but Addy slept for me so i could make it)
such an easy task, but easy to personalize and embelish- with glitter in this case.

 

 

put the lights on the tree

as i mentioned in a previous post, i promised homemade ornaments. i (sparingly) delivered. we will be vacuuming glitter from the carpets, walls and kids' hair for years to come, but the tree is sparkly and that is all that matters.

from some old book pages, clip art stencils, silver glitter and oyster shells, we fashioned the objects to hang on our homegrown tree from the backyard by the ckn coop. what a unique christmas tree year this has been.

i have included a video of Sufjan Steven's "Put the Lights on the Tree"- a funny little whimsical video.

this year i have resolved not to buy anymore ornaments that break and shatter- as pretty as they are. i plan to print out clip art and glitter the heck out of them. did i mention that i love glitter? i know that the house will be covered head-to-toe with the flecks of mica, but its a risk i am willing to take.
