We've been able to find great continuing application for all of the
acorn baby blanks left over from the fall festival. Besides the 1st/2nd grade creative activities afternoon, I think Christmas crafts were a natural match. Marian made this little Santa for her dance class's annual homemade ornament exchange,
as well as a nativity set for her grandmother.
Of course, I made one, too (above), and 2 families came over to make their own. Shannon finished hers at home, so I didn't get a pic (yet!), but here is the one the Lyman kiddies made for their mother for Christmas. Last year, I helped them make polymer clay gingerbread men set, and the year before (before I moved to PA & became their craft maven), a sock snowman set. I think it's a sweet tradition. Check out the cow & sheep--also from acorns (cow horns even acorn stems!). I want that cow, but Mike (Lyman dad & cow creator) won't agree...

So cute!!! I was up till 1 crafting (last minute) and feeling very alone. I've no one to craft with this year, I guess I could have invited someone over, but never think that far in advance. I love the little acorn nativity though.
I just finished Christmas pajamas...and yes, it is 8 pm, Christmas eve. I like to think I chose the better part and played the last couple days instead of working, but everyone knows I just bit off more than I could chew. And had a good book this week...
