tag Series

Merry Christmas to all of you.  For the past 3 days, we were without power from a terrible Ice Storm.  We finally got power back late yesterday but it's been touch and go.  If I have time, I will add the tags.  If not, I will save them for next year.

I am heavy into making my Christmas gifts.  This year, I wanted to decorate some glass blocks and this is one that I loved how it turned out.  I added some multi-colored lights and really liked the different hues more than the white lights. I used my A Child's Year Cricut Cartridge for the Santa.
