Creativity makes simple things spectacular.
I am not a "crafty" kinda gal.And, in some regards it feels like that admission should disqualify me from my job. Because how many "activity ladies" don't do crafts???
OK, it isn't that I won't do crafts. It's just that I am not crafty. That is, I
Just look at the Christmas ornaments we made!
All we did was paint the ladies' fingers white then had them hold a Christmas bulb. When the paint dried they added eyes, buttons, and noses with paint, and a felt scarf with a drop of glue.
Then - Presto! - a gift for the grandkids.
And last month we made these adorable turkey-pins. Out of ribbon, googl-y eyes, and glue.
And, if that's what I can do by copying ideas with a bunch of ladies who usually tell me they aren't crafty, either, just imagine the spectacular things God can make with simple me and you! Creativity makes simple things spectacular.

Fun!!! I love crafts. I can easily be sidetracked by cradts and ignore all the real life responsibilities I needed to be tending to.
For not being crafty, those are cute ideas. I'm not that creative either but I love crafts. So fun to sit with the kids and make things together. Just last week we made a handful of handmade ornaments (one of our Christmas traditions). We cheated though because we got pre-packaged crafts. So we didn't have to be that creative, but the kids still tend to add their own touches to projects. I think I am most creative when I work on scrapbooking, that is lots of fun for me, but very time consuming. ((hugs))
Kaira - Sidetracked? Oh, I get that! ;) And sometimes I really like it. (Until I get to the back-log of real life responsibilities I've been avoiding. *ahem*)
Mommy - We used to make Christmas ornaments every year when my kids were little, too. Always gave them to grandparents. So fun!
And there you go, reminding me about scrapbooking again. *wink*
Hey Karen, yes we also do the same thing with giving the ornaments we make to the Grandparents :) Also sorry for reminding you of scrapbooking again, ha! Obviously it has been on my mind lately. I'm thinking of starting back up on my daughter's first book, which I have been working on for too many years :(
