[a bit psycho]

A friend of mine had to put her dog down today. It's always so sad to miss our pets so I made her a little ornament to remember him by. I printed Chewie's photo on cardstock, cut it out and glued three layers of cardstock together to make it stiff. Added a wooden bead to the string. Simple.

Here's the back:

Chewie was sometimes "not very accepting" of my friend's husband so I thought this was perfect. :)

A simple way to make Christmas tree ornaments.

[very special Valentine]

Print on cardstock paper to make a card and give to that someone special for Valentine's Day.

Sometimes on my way to bed, I take moody pictures of the trees outside.

[Hello? Is it tea you're looking for?]

Must share this even though my blog is pretty much dead by now. I have a friend who loves tea so I made this herbal tea gift for her. I think Lionel Richie should start a tea company. What do you think? A great idea? 

[Elfie]

Our daughter hardly ever gets Nutella, only on special occasions. Sugar just shouldn't be part of breakfast.

But she does love Nutella and Elfie obviously does too.

This was one of those nights when I had no energy to do much. Oh wait - when Elfie just felt like being surrounded with some glittery snowmen. 

Our daughter loved the first piggy ornament so Elfie made her one more.

Holly: "Elfie, you're so tall!"

This is one of my favorites. I wish I could take credit for the idea but saw it online. Elfie's toots smell like Young Living's Peppermint oil. Just so you know.

(an airtight lid kept the scent in the glass jar)

Another quick one - a new animal magazine.

Elfie went swimming.

The floating tube is a new cookie cutter.

[Such a GREAT idea!!]

Every day in December there is a new Light the World idea.
I absolutely love this Day 1 video! So many great short videos that give you ideas how to bring some Light to those around you during this Christmas season. No one will stop you if you use the ideas year round though. ;)
