CHRISTMAS CRAFTS

1.One year, when both my parents had lost their jobs, I remember using pieces of taped together construction paper to make this super-easy Christmas Tree. http://www.enchantedlearning.com/crafts/christmas/papertree/ is where I got the super easy instructions.
2.Becuase it doesn't rain or snow, or much less go below freezing temperatures where I live, I found these "Shelfsicles" really nice.

3.I love it when my friends find creative ways to wrap gifts! They look SO nice under my tree. You just have to open them real carefully. There are really good ideas here: http://www.realsimple.com/holidays-entertaining/gifts/wrapping/creative-wrapping-ideas-10000001137821/index.html, here: http://www.countryliving.com/crafts/projects/gift-wrapping-1207, or here: http://familycrafts.about.com/od/giftwrap/CreativeGiftWrapIdeas.htm

That is all for today!
