Christmas Focus

Christmas suddenly takes on a new focus when you have a little one around. Evan is far too young at eight and a half months, Leo five months, to know what's going on, but Grannies and Grandpas are looking forward to it.

Baby food jars are handy when travelling so I saved one for a tealight holder for my daughter-in-law, by wrapping wire and beads around the neck, with holographic peel-off snowflakes. Using a battery-operated flickering tealight makes it safe too.

I bought some 1st Christmas ornaments and put a recent photo of the family in the teddy one.

From us both, have a great Christmas!

If Music be the Food of Love...

Blog prompt #5

Create a card or a scrapbook page inspired by your favourite song or a song that you have recently listened to. Do the words mean something?, where does the song take you?, what mood does it put you in?

If music be the food of love, play on. Give me excess of it William Shakespeare in Twelfth Night


Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent   Victor Hugo


Not being greatly into scrapbooking, I have just discovered from reading Jeanne Lee's Post that there is such a thing as Digital Scrapping, so I have signed up to ScrapGirls to learn more.  I thought I would try for the first time making a digital scrapbook page using docrafts Digital Designer program.


One of my favourite contemporary Christian songs, by Phil Wickham, is called You're Beautiful.  I combined this song with my beautiful (I'm biased!) little Grandson Evan to make a page marking his ceramic plaque-making experience!
