War ich immer TOTAL dagegen! Aber da hat man einen Vierjährigen zuhause – und der ist natürlich fasziniert von Kürbisgeistern und Co. ... und schon sind alle Vorsätze (MACH ICH NIE MIT!) Dahin. Und so haben wir dieses Jahr gemeinsam gebastelt. Zum einen natürlich einen Kürbisgeist geschnitzt, aber dann zum anderen noch diese Fledermäuse angefertigt. >> Zuerst die Klorollen am oberen Ende etwas nach innen drücken, so dass zwei Ohren entstehen. Sorry – dass mal wieder so lange Funkstille war – viele E-Mails habe ich bekommen, die sich erkundigt hatten, ob alles gut ist. Und dann suchen wir seid über einem Jahr ein neues Zuhause ... was enorm Zeit und noch viel mehr NERVEN kostet – vor allem, wenn man einfach NICHTS findet.UNGLAUBLICH, was einem da alles angeboten wird! ABER: Demnächst gibts wieder mehr Beiträge ... habe schon so manche Idee im Kopf ... ;-) Adventskalender_wichtel02_anleitung. Tree-card. Crafts Tutorials Blog - Ideas For Crafts.

There may be better ways to stick this thing together, but I used what I had on hand: staples and adhesive glue dots. Double stick tape or brads should work, too. Cut a magazine page lengthwise into 9 strips, 3/4" wide. DIY-Tutorial: 3D-Weihnachtskarten. Zählt ihr auch zu der Gattung Alles-auf-den-(aller)letzten-Drücker-Weihnachtsmensch?

The Gunny Sack: Scratch Off iGive Tickets Tutorial {free printable}

How do you keep the gimmies away and get your kids into the Christmas spirit of giving? That is something I think about every year. One year, I had my kids go through their toys to give to others. Most of the time they sell the toys they outgrow at our garage sale and then buy something new. But I thought it would be nice for them to be able to pass on the things they loved to someone they thought would enjoy it.

Another way my kids like to give at Christmas is to put money into the red Salvation Army buckets! Christine’s high school is collecting toys, hat and mittens to give to people in our town. And this Christmas we are involved in the Champions for Kids Simple Service Project Of the Month. But I also wanted to come up with a way to get kids (and adults) to think about giving regularly.

At our house, we respectfully observe Remembrance Day for Canadian Veterans on November 11. A few years ago, Linda at Restyled Home wrote an amazing post about how November is about getting ready for Christmas and December is for enjoying Christmas. I so agree with that theory! So in November, my goals are: CINNAMON SUGARED PECANS. This happens to be one of my favorite recipes!

CINNAMON SUGARED PECANS

For some strange reason, I had an abudance of pecans in my freezer that I needed to use. Usually I make candied almonds, but pecans are also very good. In fact, I think I love every kind of nut! I’m warning you now though, you can’t eat just one of these babies and then set the bowl aside. Remember, you can use any kind of nut that your family likes.
