Merry Freakin' Christmas!

Hello, and welcome to the December edition of 

the Controlfreaks blog hop!

I am focusing on my family this Christmas, and mostly

making projects with them in mind.  I hope you are enjoying

your holiday and holding on to your loved ones a little tighter

in light of recent tragic events.

Did you see Barb's gorgeous projects?  She is

just before me in the tour, but even if you are a rebel

and going backward, I'm glad you're here! 

My first project is a holiday luminary I made

for my daughter's rooms:

A little light in the darkness.

Every time I look at it I think of how they

are my little lights in the darkness that life can sometimes be.

Little lights that shine like beacons.

 I thank the Lord for them, and their presence in my life.

(I am going to stop now, before I make a mess of myself!)

 I am making tags to go on gifts:

Lots of die cutting and texture <3>

What did I do before that Big Shot?

Lastly, a bit of Christmas Cheer to send

you on your way. . .

A pin that sparkles and shines:

The double bow was inspired by the front

of the catalog, and it makes me happy!

I will be giving you a bit of how-to and sharing

some insight on that later, so you can check back for that.

Have a wonderful holiday!

Jan is next, so hop on over. . .
