Nativity Christmas Story Animal Costumes!

Nativity Christmas Story Animal Costumes! Great for a Christmas play or Halloween! These are great for last minute too! These are great for the Christmas story.  They are easy and simple to make. They would also work for Halloween Costumes! You will need one yard of fleece and a headband. I cut off about a 4" strip of the fleece to make the ears. I used fluffy white fabric for the floppy lamb ears. I wrapped the ears around the headbands and hot glued them in place. I also wrapped thread around them and tied them tight. They need the ears placed fairly low on the headband...try it on and see where they look best. The shirt just needs the fleece folded in half the long way and a very subtle "U" shape cut out of it on the fold. Because the sides are just open, these are a one size fits all! Small kiddos to large kiddos wore these in the church play. Then slip the head through and tie the waist with some twine. Add the ears for instant animal! ...

Glitter Snow Storm Winter Card!

 Glitter Snow Storm Winter Card! I love making cards, especially for the holidays! This one is so simple and cute.  It's a great way to mail glitter without the mess!  I received this fabulous Marigold thermal heat/cold laminator in exchange for this review ~ You will need a 3mm laminator pouch and glitter.  Open the pouch and sprinkle in some glitter. I used 2 varieties, fine and chunky!  Then run it through the laminator.  Next I stamped an adorable snowman on white paper, colored it and cut it out. Then I taped it to a piece of blue paper. This would be cute to let a little child draw the snowman!  Then cut the laminated snow storm to fit the card. I used washi tape to stick it in place.  Then attache to a folded card. It's cute and fun!  A great way to send holiday cheer in the mail! No worries about thick embellishments or glitter getting everywhere! Laminators are so much fun! Check out this metalli...

Rice Stuffed Roasted Pumpkin!

 Rice Stuffed Roasted Pumpkin! This is such a fun and yummy dinner! My kids love it and look forward to it each harvest season. My husband's mom used to make it for her kids and we cannot get enough of it! Plus, it is so fun.  You'll need a small/medium pumpkin. About the size of a basketball. Cut off the top like you would for carving a jack-o-lantern and scoop out all the seeds.  In a frying pan, saute a chopped onion and a 16 oz. package of sausage. Then add in 2 cups of uncooked rice.  Add one can of cream of mushroom soup and mix it up.  The fill the pumpkin with the rice mixture. Do not add any water. The pumpkin will add enough moisture to cook the rice. Leave about 1 to 2 inches at the top for rice expansion.   Place the lid on top! Then wrap it up with foil and place on baking sheet.  Wrap the other side, tight around the lid.  Bake in the oven at 350 for 1 hour.  Let cool about 15 minutes. The...
