Here is my Princess, 5th in from the left. She was a Christmas Angel. She sure is her Mummy's angel!
After the concert the children were all presented with a certificate. Each certificate had a personal message on it. Here is my Princess's certificate.
Although at heart I am a shabby girl, I do love traditional Christmas colours. We needed a new wreath for our front door so one night this week I decided to make one.
Take one $3 un-adorned wreath . . .
A pile of fake holly, cherries, a Santa and some gold beads . . .
A hot glue gun (which produced the obligatory blistered finger) . . .
and VOILA, cheap and cheerful!
You can tell my star sign is Libra, its so balanced looking!

Hello,
It is so special to see our children
growing up, My son is in a kindergarten program for Christmas, he is going to play the drums for rocking around the Christmas tree, I can't wait. Your wreath is darling,thanks for sharing, I too am a libra, but I don't think I am very balanced ahhhhh! Least not right now
everything is so hectic sometimes.
Thanks for visiting Pinkie Denise
Hi Rachael! What an adorable little angel you have there! Just precious!
Know what you mean about the glue gun. I've been using mine a lot & boy, do I have the blisters to prove it!
Nothing wrong with a balanced wreath ~ my entire life needs to be balanced!!
