Making handmade Christmas cards has been one of the most relaxing things I’ve done these past couple months… and I love it! Learning {more} to watercolor, drawing trees … adding glitter and microbeads. I have a small lap desk stored by the couch, so I can grab it to draw on, while Brian and I visit, watch a little football, or movies, etc…
Although the glitter and micro beads have to be done downstairs on the big work table… or else I’d have a very big, super grande … mess!
I do my best to keep the mess minimal in the glitter department, and I do that by using a large manilla file folder. All the glitter is tapped off onto the open folder, and then I fold it back up, and tap it back into the glitter container. Works pretty well. Microbeads… well, they are entirely another challenge! Man, oh man, do they BOUNCE — e v e r y w h e r e! I have found that while I can still use the file folder, it’s also good to have a terry bath towel underneath, which has to be shook outside… and then the whole world is sparkly and shiny!! lol
EnJOY some relaxation, and ponder the miracle… Emannuel ~ Love Came Down. Thank you, Lord! Praying much joy and peace for all of you~have a great day, and hopefully a lovely, Christmassy weekend.

Oh, the dots of bling are delicious. When I get really organized… lol So do you drop a dab of glue then let the little microbeads free fall? :^)
