And it still stands on my living room every Xmas as the only decoration, as my father hates putting up the Xmas tree and we no longer have our beautiful and big crèche :)<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>Bea (Madrid, Spain)<BR/><BR/>Ps- Great idea to do mosaics on shoes! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779596.post-84315087253028259962008-11-25T20:16:00.000-05:002008-11-25T20:16:00.000-05:00A couple of times I have had the guests at my chil...A couple of times I have had the guests at my childrens' birthday parties color shrink plastic. The kids loved it! I cut the shapes out in advance and they colored them with prisma color pencils. After shrinking we attached the shrink platic piece to a hook so the kids could put them on their backpacks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779596.post-79597861971057221942008-11-25T09:33:00.000-05:002008-11-25T09:33:00.000-05:00We did decopatch pins on cardboard paper cut out i...We did decopatch pins on cardboard paper cut out in a reindeer pattern. Everyone got to choose the paper & we even glued on googly eyes. Some made magnets instead of pins and some hung the poor reindeer and had ornaments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779596.post-56455730722194480092008-11-24T18:48:00.000-05:002008-11-24T18:48:00.000-05:00Great ideas, Cynthia!

There's really nothing like a pair of cement shoes around the house to make you thankful. Well, thankful that you're not wearing them.Jean Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01303483148663293426noreply@blogger.com
