Holiday Prep

Since the kids were out of school the day before Thanksgiving, they got to lounge around the house in their pajamas while I prepped food for the following day. Of course, while I love the idea of spending a day laying around in my PJ's, my daughter gets bored of it very quickly.

The Girl is my arts and crafts child so I quickly put her to work cutting out circles for a felt flower garland craft I found in the December 2010 issue of Better Homes & Gardens.

She loved being able to help out and her excitement when we sewed her circles together to form a flower was just priceless!

Once we get all the flowers made, we'll string them together to form a garland.

There are a lot of circles to cut out and sew together so we may not be done with this garland in time for Christmas, but we'll have a beautiful long one for next year!

It doesn't have to be for Christmas. The Girl is already planning a pink one for her bedroom...
