9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest,and on earth peace,
good will toward men. Luke 2:9-14
'Tis the season! And it is busy! I am sorry I haven't been around, but here is what I have been making this month.
I really enjoyed this challenge from Dearjuliejulie. Here is the challenge: LARGE COVER binder ring junk journal! 12 days to build a journal Day 1 - YouTube
To start the season, I went to a class and put together a wreath. Besides, the crafting I have been attending a lot of seasonal events, and decorating, and making Christmas cards, 62 so far, and mailing them and packages, etc. I also attended a beautiful Cookies and Carols service at our church Sunday night. A gentleman at our church gives us the history of the carols and we sing them in sets of three. Besides accompaniment by a piano player, regular organist, keyboardist, one young man played an antique organ. One lady played the saxophone for a couple of the songs. Then a lady sang "O Holy Night", and we ended singing "Silent Night" by candlelight.
Here is a photo of me with the wreath I decorated:
We will be celebrating more Christmas after Christmas as the weather forecast is for really cold wind chill and maybe snow, so bad for driving. Our family will come after Christmas. I wish you all a warm Christmas.

Good morning, you are always making lovely crafting and art projects-love to see them Pretty wreath too-my Mom would make those from trimmings from the Christmas tree-Happy T and Merry Christmas Kathy
We’re also not looking forward to the “bomb cyclone” that seems to be on the way here, and is expected to mess with travel in much of the country. I hope you manage to dodge the storms and have a great Christmas.

Hi Sharon, I made my cookies gluten free by using bobs red mill 1-1 gluten free flour-it is the best gf flour I have used for replacing the wheat flour in most recipes all these cookies worked out really well using that gluten free flour

And now I am the one who is late visiting. I love the photo of you with the wreath you made. You told me you were busy, but you have been super busy. NO WALKING from Wednesday on because I heard wind chills were going to put the feels like temperature from -30 to -40 F. I even turned my heat on!
Love that junk journal, but it is totally demanding. I would love to see the inside some day.
