Not Sure What To Do With All Those Christmas Cards?

I found a delightful way to display this year's Christmas cards. Since Julius (my lovely, little cat) loves to climb trees, I've decided to use Christmas cards and paper ornaments to decorate my Christmas tree.

Some of my art students kindly donated the paper ornaments we made in class two weeks ago. The students used craft paper, raffia, and cinnamon potpourri to make these unique decorations.

Thanks to all who participated in making my Christmas tree very special this year! In this photo, I've captured Christmas cards sent by my friends Rosemary and Sally.

Read Liz's Article About Crafting With Kids in Simply Beads.

Looking for some interesting tips on crafting with kids? Read about the ideas in my article titled All Together, Now! in the December 2007 issue of Simply Beads. It's packed with a lot of great ideas for crafting with kids of all ages.

I'd like to thank my nephew Michael and my sister-in-law Michelle. Michael and Michelle originally posed for the pictures that I submitted with the article. Unfortunately, my pictures weren't used. The magazine editors, however, did a great job with the photographs.

At least Michael can tell his friends he helped me with the crafts in this article. He and his mom are so crafty!
