10 days til Christmas!

Jack Frost has finally hit and it's really cold! I'm loving every minute of it! I just wish I could get into the Christmas spirit! I don't know why but it just doesn't seem like 10 days til Christmas! I have finished my shopping and only have a few candies left to make. The tree is up and trimmed and I only have 4 gifts left to wrap but it just doesn't seem like Christmas time. Hopefully some snow will help! We are predicted some this week and I sure hope it comes to fruition! We are having Christmas as my house for the first time ever this year and so I need a boost in the Christmas spirit department! I did however get motivated and I am proud to show off my new Christmas project for this year! I made angels out of old church hymn books!



Isn't she cute!?! When we went to my brothers house for Thanksgiving he took Ruties house to visit. She had one of these angels sitting on her fireplace mantel and I just loved it. I mentioned how adorable it was and she said that she was making them. I asked her where she got the books and she said she had a stash from her church since they got new ones and she gave me some! How awesome is that? I took a picture on my phone then I came home and had my angel made in about 5 hours! She turned out so cute! I gave it to my bf's mom for Christmas and she just loved it! I am now finishing one for E's teacher at school! I will make a tutorial if anyone is interested! Thanks Ruthie!!! Your the best!
