Christmas Projects

  One thing I am loving about home schooling: art class.  I now have an excuse to pull out paint, paper and brushes.  Today we worked on Christmas cards....

 Christmas just feels like its coming so fast....this is the first Christmas project aside from our tree we've completed this year.

 I remember as a kid working on lots of Christmas projects...anticipating Christmas day.

 I want this for my kids too.  To be able to look back on projects and tie them to memories and feelings.

I am so glad I was given the gift of "mom-hood"...I pray I can create little moments for my children to look back on.
