the 7th day of christmas...

what happened to the 4th, 5th, and 6th? well, the bohemian ran off on her merry little miniature escape and so she got behind... now, don't think this is a special occasion, a one time thing, an unusual occurrence. somehow this happens every year. so here we shall catch up... this is just another of the bohemian's nativity collection. the 4th day of the advent calendar says: RED. our bohemian is not a fan of the color red. except at Christmastime. then she allows it... see here... evidence that there IS a santa! and he has a red hat!!! he's been sneaking around here, the bohemian thinks. the 5th day of the advent calendar calls for WREATHS. this is a ceramic wreath the bohemian made when she and the children used to do ceramics for homeschool art. the little stars are actually holes so light can shine through from inside. this is a wreath our bohemian made for her paternal grandmother when the bohemian's children were wee ones. after this grandmother passed away, our bohemian was given this wreath back. what a fun memory...painting the children! i mean, their HANDS, of course! and the 6th day calls for ANGELS... here are some angel cards the bohemian could not bear to throw out, so she drags them out every year to decorate with... day 7!!!! yea, we caught up!!!! day 7 calls for WRAPPING. here is some of the bohemian's favorite that she put on her daily journal page... the page is not finished but she likes the background so far... some of her favorite ribbon for wrapping... see how messy her craft table is! i know none of you have that problem... just me. hmmmmm... thank you for catching up with me! christmas is fast approaching. may you find the time for everything you have chosen to do. and may you skip the things you really don't want to do.... angel wing blessings be upon you...
