Topic: Christmas
Another really simple page, based on an old Becky Higgins sketch. I use a lot of sketches, because I'm pretty much incapable of coming up with an interesting, well-balanced design on my own. I have a hard time visualizing what things are going to look like.
Just a strip of patterned paper (Daisy D's, I believe), some gold ribbon, and a Making Memories metal eyelet-charm. The quote says, "Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all 30 feet tall." (Larry Wilde, The Merry Book of Christmas) I had seen this quote before, attributed to Oscar Wilde, which just didn't seem quite right. LOL
This was the year after Nathan and Aaron came home with a, well, really little Christmas tree that looked lost in the living room so I had them put it in the family room for the first time. I realized then that I liked having the tree in the family room because, seeing how I spend about 90% of my time in the kitchen during the holidays, it was nice to be able to see the tree right on the other side of the kitchen counter instead of having it hidden away in a room that I hardly ever went into. So after that we started scaling down the Christmas tree size (a little) and putting it in the family room every year.
