Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, How lovely are your branches!

It's time to put up the Christmas tree, and get out the ornaments that are treasured from year to year. If you want to get new ornaments this year why not make some. I have cut paper using old German patterns, they make great tree ornaments or to hang in windows. Have you made paper snowflakes lately? They also look great hanging on the tree or in the window. Scandinavian woven hearts are fun for Christmas decorating or use them to put a small gift in. If you need a garland there is the paper chain, with double sided papers you have endless possibilities for your creation. Have fun getting ready for Christmas and remember not to let the season overwhelm you. Enjoy the season, your family, and make memories - it is the one of the few things that you don't have to put away during January.
