Back to Life....Back to Reality!

Okay....Deep breath....Count to 10 and start! It has been a long time since I've updated my blog and I apologize! If you have kids, you can understand I'm sure! We have been back to school (and my part-time job) since August and somehow I've missed September! How did this happen? Well, my daughter is in competitive dance and my son is in karate and hip-hop. They keep me at my second home at the dance studio five days a week. Karate thank goodness is just two days a week right now. I think next year my son will be able to start sparring (whatever that entails).
Also, on another note, my husband and I started a course through the church that I work at. It is called ALPHA which is a course where you learn about the basics of Christianity and religion. We have tried to live our lives through being good Christians and teaching our children about Christ, but since we've moved to Florida, we have never really settled down into a church and called it home. Every Tuesday night after two hours of dance, we blaze through the drive-thru for our children and drive madly to the church. It's been an interesting and eye-opening experience for both me and my husband and we are learning alot. I appreciate your patience and hope to have more soon!

  Here you can see how the paper is crimped...   So all these images keep coming to mind on what kind of quilling-inside-an-ornament I can fathom up now.  Hmmmm.....done this, what about this kind of thing!  Well, I'm having a lot of fun trying out different projects and seeing what and how I can fit things inside those tiny little openings on the DIY ornaments.  This time I was thinking hard about a Christmas tree and how I could put it together inside the ornament and how I could decorate it.  Well, here are some pictures of my thought process and how it came about.  Sincere thanks again to Charlotte Canup of The Art of Quilling  of whom I purchased the pattern to make a snowflake inside an ornament.  She inspired me to go crazy with the desire to see what else I could try! Here I am rolling it with the quilling tool.   Here I've shaped them into squares...   It really is put together inside this flat plastic ornament!!! T...
