Merry Christmas!

All of us gals here at Words 2 Craft By send our wishes for the merriest of Christmases!

We hope you share a blessed holiday celebration with loved ones, enjoy a few delicious seasonal treats... and a find a few crafting goodies in your stocking.

Speaking of crafting, should you have a little time to create this holiday season, our current holiday-themed challenge is open through January 2.

Our challenge words come to us from Kid-Quote-kiddie Benjamin:
I'm an angel at Christmas time, but the rest of the year I'm the real me. 

My card for hubby was inspired by our "pup" that we adopted from a local  animal rescue non-profit last fall. Brody is half Russell Terrier and has definitely gotten into the holiday spirit -- starting with rolling in the tinsel when we were decorating the tree... while trying his best to not get into presents that aren't for him!


Be Joyful!

W2CB #60: An Angel? Me?

Hi, everyone! Sybrina here with our last W2CB Challenge of 2018.

In December, it seems all our thoughts -- and actions -- turn to the holidays. While we adults try to cram 30-hours of tasks into 24-hour days, little ones try their very best to be good. With that in mind, this month's words come to us from 11-year-old Kid-Quote-kiddo Benjamin.

I'm an angel at Christmas time, but the rest of the year I'm the real me.

Sound like anyone you know? Let's see what our gals have for us this month. You'll see there are a few angel-specific interpretations, a kitty who just can't be good, a pup trying soooo very hard to be good, and a bunny whose thrown in the trying-to-be-good towel altogether... and is throwing snowballs instead.

W2CB #59: Blessings

Hi, everyone! Sybrina here with our November/December W2CB Challenge.

In November, thoughts turn to giving thanks. This month's words come to us from an Irish proverb.

When I count my blessings, I count you twice.

Here are a couple of blessings-inspired cards from our W2CB gals. And, as you can see from Jennifer's card, non-Thanksgiving, non-fall cards/projects are welcome.  :)

There are so many things to enjoy in October: admiring fall leaves, going on fun hayrides, drinking yummy cider, walking through haunted houses, conquering corn  mazes, eating pumpkin pie, and carving jack-o-lanterns. And, then there's that little-known holiday called Halloween. LOL.
