Good News!

"behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which shall be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."

Luke 2:10&11

Seeing Stars!

I have been following the directions for making

Folded German Paper Stars

from my friend LDH

over at With A Grateful Prayer and a Thankful Heart

blog. (Click to go to her wonderful video tutorial)

I made several dozens of them  from the shiney

add sections of the newspaper to give to the

folks at church along with our annual

Christmas Card.

I wanted to make some for a sweet friend

but wanted them to be a little more special

so I dug out an old damaged hymnal

that I have been hanging on to...

tore out some of the Christmas Carols...

and folded a dozen stars from the pages.

I punched out a little hole to thread a hanger through

made from vintage 'Cloisonne Needlepoint Thread',

dipped them into melted wax and sprinkled on some

crystal glitter for sparkle!

Now they are on their way to their new home!

I hope she gets them before Christmas to put on her tree!
