Joy to the World

Some pictures from my family tree, and then some eggnog and a little Christmas reading. I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas!

Glittering Lights

Today I spent the better part of my afternoon glittering these Froebelsterne (stars made out of ribbon) for our Deutschklub to sell at the annual Christmas fair. They turned out fantastic--I just had to snap a few shots of them, especially the purple and gold ones (aren't they beautiful?). And I was really surprised at the quality of the photos, considering they were taken with my personal camera (Nikon Coolpix P80), not the class camera (a Canon Powershot) I usually use.These are so fun to make, and they turn out so pretty! Just a few early holiday greetings to everybody.
