my felt advent garland...a work in progress!

I have much on my mind that I would love to blog about, but my brain turns to sludge rather quickly these days! Hormones everywhere!

So I have come across some wonderful links recently that I thought I would share with you:

**Tonia's thoughts on Advent which actually makes it do-able!

**Kelli's awesome family alphabet gratitude journal...hey there are 26 letters in the alphabet so begin quickly and it can see us through the Advent season! What better way to push back against holiday greed and consumerism than practicing daily gratitude as a family this season?

**Check out this advent calendar made from recycled items you already have in the house! It's not too late to begin this today or even this week...there's no rules to when we begin, right?

**For easy-to-whip-up gifts for young creative ones, make some of these felt crayon rolls (I made a few yesterday!) or modify it to hold a drawing pad as well (turned out very cute...email me for felt measurements if you wish!)

**And as the crafting-Christmas-decor-with-your-kids begins, we are planning to try our hands at making these felt candy canes. (Can you tell I am into felt these days?) I found some wool roving by Clover at JoAnn Fabric...not too cheap so use a coupon!


Here's to having meaningful celebrations of Advent with our families...which is just fancy words for "let's look to Jesus together" :)
