It rained yesterday!! it was so nice... it made me happy :)
we have not had rain for so many months and it cooled everything down and has soaked the ground. the kids went out for the day with H, i stayed home and made the christmas cards and ribbon for the kids presents.
the cards were easy.
cut 3 pieces of card... i used recycled cards and a 60's journal for the patterned pieces.
lay them on top of one another and sew down the middle. fold the outer ones back on one another on the seam and voila... a star!
i also decided to make the ribbon, cutting strips of fabric and sewing together. all recycled this year for our wrapping.
happy wrapping if you have not yet done it!
very cute. what a creative and clever idea! xo
