christmas is...

about miracles.
because as it stands, it was a miracle that brought that Christ-child into this world to begin with.
and He is allowing miracles to happen even today.

hello friends...
you may (or may not) have noticed i have been absent for over a week from this here blog.
i have been walking an unplanned for journey with my sister and her husband, my dear friend.
if you follow me on facebook or instagram you have seen posts here and there about his hospital stay and the battle with a brain bleed that has been going on for almost two weeks.
it has rocked our world.
obviously.

as we enter this week we remain hopeful and through much prayer that the end of this particular journey is coming to a good end.

but christmas is...
christmas is still happening. even if it be a truncated version.

so for today over at Heidi's blog her freebie #6 is a label with just that title: christmas is...

details on how to make are explained on her blog.
and here today i just show you a little bit of eye candy...
with always the hope that you become inspired to make Christmas a meaningful time that also includes hand crafting for those you love. those are always my most favorite gifts...
safe for the slippers i told my kiddos i would like this year...
i really wouldn't want them making those themselves...
but you get the idea.

so enjoy.
and i will indeed be back soon.
