Thank you all of you who have visited my blog during 2013, enjoyed and used my ideas, created and handmade cards and gifts, but most of all read and accepted the message of God's love for you. I wish you a very blessed 2014.

Table Decor for the New Year

I cannot believe 2013 is pretty much over! Here comes 2014. Are you excited to begin a new year? Do you have a celebration with friends and family? Here are a couple of ideas you can use for your New Year's dinner table or save for next Christmas. Wow! Did I say next Christmas already? hahahahaha

The napkin folded as a Christmas tree is not my idea. You can find it at the link posted with the picture below, but the star is. It's a die-cut that you can use to replace the place card. I used gold scrapbook paper (Recollections) and a glitter green gel pen. 

Another idea is the place mat. This one is from the dollar store. Sew a piece of fabric, poinsettias and gold beads (middle of poinsettias) to it, and you have a beautifully decorated place mat for your table.

Here is the "how to" make the Christmas tree with the napkin. The idea is from Handimania 

 I hope you have a wonderful 2014, full of God's presence and blessings.

Finger Prints "Lights" Thank You

My husband and I are teaching our son not only to be grateful for what he has, but also to express his gratitude to those who bless him. So I decided to make this thank you card with him to send to dear people who gave him Christmas gifts. 

Supplies used for this card
Paper: white note card
Tools: My son's pinky, ink pads, dark green gel pen, ink pen for stamp
Stamp: thank you (stampabilities)
Make cards like this with your children to give to grandparents, uncles and aunts and you'll melt their hearts.

Thank you for visiting my blog and have a very blessed New Year.
