Cristmas cafts with the revamp Tramp
Gawd! I guess she thinks she's funny, but, she looks like most of the people around me. Fuck those beer cans and tampon angels, but, those little paper cups work nice. I've done that before and they look beautiful. Craft crap just makes me remember poverty. I do like keeping things the kids have made though. If you have any cheap crafty Christmas ideas, feel free to add them.

I have one..if you're into a country Christmas try buying those cheap tiny baskets that come in packs, usually 6 or 8 for a buck, at party stores. Poke a light through the bottom. They really look pretty when you light them up on a tree.
The best ones I have are ones my kids made in nursery school. The macaroni angels, kid's class picture glued to a felt star. They still go on the tree if I put one up. (ornaments are 25 y.o.). And the hand print plaques.
Hi Pat- Although I've posted anon occasionally, I've been a lurker for a good while. Thought it was time I introduced myself to you as well as the rest of your spirited group of independent thinkers!
Here's something I try to do almost every year after the holidays and it's something the kids or grandkids might enjoy helping with; Instead of tossing out your prettier Christmas cards this year, discard the back half and save the decorated fronts for a fun rainy day project. Buy a bulk pack (6 or 12) of plain gift bags (I prefer the brown paper type as they have a more "country look"). Using either low-temp hot glue or double-sided tape, affix a card front on each bag. You can embellish with any Christmas odds 'n ends you have on hand. Add a ribbon or a raffia bow to one side of the handle and presto- handcrafted gift bags to set aside with your holiday wrapping supplies for next year.
Hope you all had a pleasant day and Pat, an enjoyable evening with Casey and Lissa!
Pam-

Kappa, welcome to DD! Cute idea. Lissa loves cutting things up.
She must live next door to Jolene Sugarbaker.
DD-I've still got those oragami light covers that I want to send to you.
escrow
I made them, escrow. I found several different kinds on the net and a friend brought me a ream of lovely Japanese paper from the city. Thank you for giving me the idea, they are really pretty.
I would love a pic of yours though, to post. I wish I lived next door to Jolene. She's a pip.
