Last night while watching this movie
for the millionth time, Rachel and I decided to make decorations Elf style.
I grabbed some scissors and printer paper and we started cutting paper snowflakes. I've got to admit...it is a lot harder than I thought it was.
Once finished we were stumped on how to hang them to advantage. Finally, I grabbed the tape and stuck them to my front windows.
tiny snippets of paper everywhere
Bye Rachel, it was fun!
lacy designs frame the tree
This morning I ran out in my pjs to see what it looked like in the daylight
Best of all....magic shadows on the floor. I think these snowflakes are keepers.
They look great mom. I had tons of fun with you. Elf, scissors, paper, pizza, and family. What could be better on a Saturday night.
ReplyDeletestevie, they are so elegant! Maybe it was complicated but they turned out so well. The shadows are really nice. I think it takes a daughter. My sons said, "You've got to be kidding."
ReplyDeleteWow...they are incredible! Love each shot of them....even the shadows!
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic Stevie! I love the relections they made in your living room. Elf is such a funny movie..lol
ReplyDeleteMy decoratrions are simple this year for lack of time but I think I like it better!
The snowflakes looked so beautiful !! Love how the shadow from the light.
ReplyDeleteHow fun & pretty! I love the magic shadows, too:)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun with beautiful results. Definitely keepers.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! What a great idea, and it truly looks wonderful even in daylight.;)
ReplyDeleteI recall making something like this when I was a child, but I was nowhere this good.
Is Rachel your daughter? She is very beautiful.)
Have a lovely Monday,

Zuzana, yes Rachel is my pretty daughter. I couldn't ask for a better daughter than her.
ReplyDeleteIt's the little things, isn't it?! Pretty!! And I LOVE Elf...one of the few movies ALL of us can watch at once and be equally entertained! :-)
ReplyDeleteAh what a wonderful memory you both made too! I lurve the shadows on the carpet, WOW! Very fun! I remember hanging them up as a child with the curling ribbon my Mom used for wrapping presents and she would tack them to the ceiling and such. Fun memories for me too! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAre you working this week or have you started vacation? Hope you get to enjoy some time off this holiday away from the phones.
By the way, did you end up going to church last night to see the performance? How was it?
ReplyDeleteChaChaneen, nope no vacation for the weary this week...in fact corp is pushing us harder than ever....as if people are going to make payments on Christmas eve....
ReplyDeleteYes, I did go to church last night. I enjoyed the program and the fellowship afterwards. Everyone always encourages me to come back. Probably will some day.
oh how I love the shadows!!! gorgeous flakes
ReplyDeleteperfect !!
ReplyDeletesnowflakes and shadows and no wet feet on the carpet...now that's my kind of snow !
I love the shadows, an unexpected bonus! The 18 inches of snow that fell over the weekend cast a dark shadow over a lot of Christmas parties! I am certain we will have a white Christmas!!! The question is, will I be ready? Your livingroom looks really cozy!
