Upon returning home, it was time to finished preparing for our big Christmas production at church. I had costumes to repair, a skirt to hem, and music to learn (yes, I was still working on learning the music to sing). With nightly rehearsals going late, it made for late mornings, and needless to say a difficult time getting up and getting school work done. After 6 performances, everyone who could, joined in to strike the set late Sunday night. Needless to say, Monday morning we all slept in.
I spent Monday and Tuesday preparing for our annual Ladies Christmas Party at church. The theme this year was "A Charlie Brown Christmas." I was responsible for the craft project and making prizes for one of the activities. It really was a very nice evening, and I also found out who my secret sister was. I was really surprised, I had no idea it was the pastor's wife!
Our craft was making Christmas Tree Ornaments using paper castings I made from my brown bag cookie molds. I spent late Monday night and most of Tuesday getting everything ready. ( I also molded Chocolate Snowmen that were the prizes for the snowman building contest.)
About half of the paper castings for the ornaments:
Set up at church:
Here are a couple examples of our finished ornaments:
Each table was decorated with Charlie Brown and his very special tree.

Oh my, you've been busy! I like the paper ornaments. How did you make them? Or were they purchased? Cute snowmen too. :) Sounds like, although busy, you are having a good holiday season.
Hi Marcia,
I did make each one of those, here is a link to one of the company I get supplies from www.arnoldgrummer.com. If I have a moment, I will post a bit more on paper casting. Unfortunately the brown bag cookie molds are now retired and expensive to get a hold of. Fortunately I started collecting them before Lucy retired her line of cookie molds!
