    Christmas Crafts

    I used to have better eyesight and did a lot of sewing. I made Christmas ornaments from wool felt and bought a kit to make a Christmas wall hanging. I enjoy looking at the scrapbooking sections of Michael's and Walmart. Anyway, I bought a hole punch that makes tiny holes. I think you could use that for making gift tags from old Christmas cards. Just put some thin string through the hole and and tie or tape it to the package. I've never done any scrapbooking, but I'd love to find a magazine about it.

    Here are some crafts I made years ago:





    "Hail him who saves you by his grace,
    and crown him Lord of all."

    It's fun, but that wall hanging took a l-o-n-g time to complete. Every sequin is sewn on individually.

    But I think it was really worth all the time you spent on it

    I think that was a Bucilla kit; they chose the pink. I can't take credit for that, but I like the colors they chose.
