PINE CONE CHRISTMAS TREE

It is getting to be time to work on my Christmas Crafts. I will be sharing what I find and make this year, I hope others will send me their ideas also. The first one is a project I am going to do with the young girl I occasionally babysit. As do all young girls, she loves to do crafts. I got this from a wonderful site called ALL FREE CRAFTS, it's a wonderful resource for crafters. I'll be sharing a lot from there but you can also go right there and pick up what you like. I will also be sharing from the Creative Arts Home Club a great resource for crafts, supplies and ideas. a great place to mingle with crafters, and they have a wonderful program to acquire free products. Check them out.
