In other news- today I got a short message from a childhood friend on FB. It's not the first time, but every time I'm a little startled by this time machine that Facebook can be, people from the past and future friends. Then comes that moment you look at them and think "Gosh, they look so grown up." because it doesn't feel like that much time has gone by, are we all grown ups now? I mean, I know, my son voted in his first presidential election, my husband and I are closer to 20 years than 10 years together. But I don't feel like a grown up, until I see those old friends and realize, YIKES. It has been that long.
Part of it of course is the holidays, you remember past holidays, people you haven't seen in a very long time.
So, old friends and new, I hope your longest night passes safely and happily.

Tree Flake Mandala

I hope you enjoy today's snowflake mandala to color. It's fairly intricate in parts, so you'll want very sharp pencils or fine tip pens to color this one.

Click on the images for larger versions. The small JPG version is above. I didn't do a colored version because it's family movie night tonight!

Printable Paper Star Tree Topper

This is paper intensive, requiring 5 sheets of card stock! However, since I didn't mark the cut lines on the stars, you could just print 2 stars and glue them to the outside of the base on opposite sides.
To make this paper star tree top, you'll need to print and cut out 4 stars and glue 2 together back to back, then repeat with the other two. Cut 1 star from the top to the center dot, and the other from the bottom to the center dot.

Then you'll slide the stars together interlocking them. Print and cut out the base, glue along the the tab to form a cylinder, then cut on the guide lines to make slits. Slide the star into the base slits.

Click on the images for larger versions. There is the colored version as shown, and a version that you can color in. Print each image to fit pages. They are set up at 8x10 inches.

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for all the nice comments and emails that I've gotten in the last year and appreciate every one of you.
