Today I created a fun paper chain template. Click on the thumbnail below to see a larger version and drag to your desktop to print it out and cut the strips and use to form a Christmas paper chain.

Paper Snowflakes

Now this is a pretty traditional craft that I remember doing many times as a kid. You start with a square piece of paper fold it in half twice to get a smaller square and then fold that into a triangle. Usually you then round the wide end of the triangle. Then you cut small shapes out to. When it is unfolded you have a beautiful snowflake. Now you can get more creative and use more complex shapes to cut out such as hearts, stars, and moons. Click on the thumbnails below to get a better idea of the different ways to make creative snowflakes. Also, please feel free to comment and tell about your unique cut out ways to make paper snowflakes more fancy.

Thanksgiving Coloring Pages

I recently looked up some Thanksgiving coloring pages to have my little brother color and make decorations for our family Thanksgiving. Thought I might as well also share them here.

Rest of Asia Letters

Here are the rest of the letters for Asia. I finished these a few days ago while my computer was getting repaired, but was not able to post them until I got my computer back. The I is for Indian Rupees and the A is for Amanohashidate, which is a sandy bridge in Japan with evergreens. Below is just the I letter. The A letter would not scan properly. The stupid scanner kept twisting it and not letting the whole thing be scanned no matter what I tried.

Silk Worms Continent Letter

Here is the second letter in my Asia set of letters. I did S for silk worms. I know what I am doing for the I, but have not made it yet. Not quite sure yet what I will do for the second A, though.

Asian Elephant Letter Coloring Page

I finally got around to starting a project I am doing for decorating my living room. I have seven walls in my living room the way it is designed and I am making each one devoted to my pictures and mementos from the seven continents. Part of the project is to draw letters to identify the wall's continent. Instead of doing normal letters I am also handdrawing a picture of something that starts with that letter and relates to the continent. This one is an A in Asia being an Asian Elephant.
