Stained-glass Stable Craft





Just in case you were wondering...our baby is still super cute.

At one month old, she is so smiley and growing like crazy!

She's the spitting image of all of my other babies...especially Scarlett.



To accompany our reading of "This is the Stable", we made "stained-glass" stables this morning (seen here) using clear contact paper, black card stock, and tissue paper.



I was sure to select VERY easy crafts this year...and this one couldn't be easier!



You can buy little squares of tissue paper at craft stores for pretty cheap and makes this craft very kid-friendly.  Looks pretty great in a window, don't they?



I realize that I haven't actually posted our Christmas book list yet this year, but I promise I will do that soon.  I have a few new books to tell you about!

    1. Neither....two sheets of contact paper stuck together. Does that make sense?
