By the glow of the (fake) fire, we started the evening with an inspirational story which was a heart warming reminder of the joy of giving - there wasn't a dry eye in the place! The rest of the evening was full of wonderful traditions and activities that we can share with our families. It was a good night, and I came away with some new ideas for inexpensive, meaningful Christmas gifts for my family.
I didn't take a picture of my set-up at the church, but I do have a picture of the wreath that was part of the decorations.
I've been wanting to make this wreath for a while now, but I had a little extra incentive a couple of weeks ago when DCWV put out a call for Utah-based designers. I live about half an hour from their corporate offices, so I thought why not? This was one of the projects that I submitted. The base is a foam wreath that I picked up at Joann, and the rest is paper from DCWV: from the Recollections Warm Wishes stack, and the DCWV Holiday Collection stack. Oh, and two cuts with my Silhouette: the gingerbread man, and the bow. The rest of the wreath is made of paper accordion flowers, or pinwheels, or whatever you want to call them.
Oh, and I made the team. Yay!
