Christmas Tree with a Cross

Sometimes (most times) Christmas becomes a blur of shopping, baking, gifts, and decorations, and is a wonderful family time....but this year to help keep my feet grounded in the reason we celebrate this season of Christ's birth (hence Christ mas) is ultimately what He did for us on the Cross (John 3:16)...I added red lights that fade in and out in the shape of a cross. So as I see the beauty of the tree, I'm reminded in the symbolism of the "tree" of Christ's death and resurrection. Hopefully you can see them in the video - they looked much better in person :). May you have a Blessed Christmas with family, friends, or just quiet time with God to reflect on the past year, and look forward to the New Year.

Merry Christmas - Ornament

Well, I know I haven't been around for a while...mostly just too busy, but thought I'd quickly share a fast Christmas Decoration I did using a Quilt Block pattern, a black marker & ribbon, some Distress Ink, and Merry Christmas rubber stamp. Hind sight says I should have used my machine to sew the edges, but oh well...next time.
