Crochet Me Crazy

This is the first time I've been able to be online since Friday! My husband has been about to have fits trying to figure out what the problem is. I don't know if I'd be able to have internet if I didn't have him! I would never know what to do. After trying several things, he ended figuring out that our router was bad. Anyway, so here we are again!

We got our Christmas shopping done this weekend! Normally, I have that finished by Thanksgiving because I hate being out in the December crowds. It was easier this year though because we aren't buying presents for the adults in my husbands family...just the kids.

We got all the Christmas decorations up but still have to decorate the Christmas tree...waiting for my husband to get the lights on!
I always get crafty with the kids around this time of year...I have a whole bunch of Christmas cards we've gotten from people from over the years. I came up with this idea for decorating for the holidays with them. We've been cutting the pretty pictures out and using glittery glue on them.
Card Recycling  Then we are simply hot gluing them to a strip of ribbon. We're going to put these little strips up over each of my windows.

Here's the first strip we finished.

Here are a couple more snowflakes I have gotten blocked and starched...
