Feeling Blessed
With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, there is a lot of talk about leprechauns, pots of gold, and luck. However, I know that I am not lucky, I’m blessed.
My blessings are too numerous to count. Included in that list is being able to spend my days (when I’m not homeschooling) crafting. Recently, I have developed an interest in creating simple canvas signs. Nothing elaborate, but still enjoyable.
Here is my latest edition, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day.

Christmas Ornaments
One of my favorite things about the Christmas holidays is that we get to take a break from our normal routine and spend time with family. As the kids have gotten older it seems harder than ever to stop the crazy busy schedule. Yet, it is so important. It won’t be long until they are gone and out on their own.
Each year we set up two trees. The main family tree is our memory tree. A tradition I picked up from my parents is every time we go someplace new or special we pick up a new ornament. So decorating the Christmas tree is like a walk down memory lane. “Remember when we went to __________” and “Yeah, and ___________, that was so much fun” Each year we pick up 4 to 6 ornaments. So after seventeen years of marriage it is quite full. It is one of my favorite family traditions.
The other tree in my house is the kids tree. It is full of ornaments that the kids have made. It is a little scrawny tree that they decorate themselves, from the lights to the decorations. Each year we take time to craft something new.
