Christmas Card Photo Shoot, Christmas Sweater Craft, & Hair Reveal!

Photobucket

Well this is a fun What I Wore post.  This is the 4th year we have continued our tradition of sending photo Christmas cards to family and friends.  I will be sharing a digital card with all of you later this week.  I will also be sharing an easy no sew craft, for some cheesy keepsake family Christmas sweaters.  Plus, it's the big hair color reveal post.  Thank you all for your helpful advice.  You may have missed the post where I discussed my husbands desire for me to go burgundy, you can catch up here.

Anything Goes Linky #28 and Felt Tree Ornament


Before we jump into the linky, I wanted to share another easy Christmas tree ornament we made for our tree this year.  This is a quick and frugal craft (like most of mine are).  Here is what you will need:

Felt
Ribbon
Plastic Foam Stars (we found them at the Dollar Store)
Twine
Hot Glue
Scissors
Paper

Directions:
Using your scissors and paper, make a cone the size you would like your tree to be.  This way you won't waste your felt, and you can use the paper cone as a pattern.  Remember to leave room for the cone to over lap, so you can glue it together in the back.  Now cut out your felt cone.  Then take a piece of twine, and make a loop, and knot.  Shape your felt into a cone, and have the loop of twine sticking out the top of your felt tree.  The knot should keep it from falling out (but you can add some glue  if needed).  Then glue your felt tree together in the back.  Then using a little more hot glue, add some ribbon and your star.  


I am so behind on sharing  the Christmas crafts I have been working on.  I am even more behind on our photo cards we send out each year.  We haven't even taken our family pics yet.  Good thing I am married to our photographer.  Amen to 1 hour photo printing, I am going to need it.  Well you see what I have been up to, now show me what you have been doing.

Let's get this Linky started!

Thank you everyone that linked up at last weeks linky party.  I had a hard time choosing my favorites (what's new).  I also have been having a hard time leaving comments on blogs that require you to sign in to google.  It's been going on for about 2 weeks now.  Is anyone else having issues?  Google will not let me stay signed in, and it redirects me 2, sometimes 3 times to enter my password, before it will let me leave a comment rrrrr...."Google why have you forsaken me"...... (in my most overly dramatic tone, cue lights, and drop down to my knees "why oh why Google" , end scene. LOL ok enough theatrics and me pouting, let's get on to the features.
