2014 Christmas ornaments for my friends

Finished the Christmas ornaments I'm making for my friends this year, cinnamon-stick Christmas trees.  I drew a free-form ... did not want to make it perfect, sewed the 2 pieces of fabric (putting a piece of ribbon at the same time for hanging)  leaving a small part open at the bottom.  stuffed, inserted a cinnamon stick and glued it close with the hot-glue gun.  Then I added a small bell and a tage saying 'Handmade by Lucie 2014'. 

2014 Christmas craft

I've had this project in  a ziploc bag for 2 years and I finally did it.  It was pretty easy, once you get the supplies.

Word for 2014

My Word for 2014: Self-improvement
"improvement of ones’ status, mind, abilities, etc… by one’s own efforts"

To that effect I have taken several points I want to improve and made an excel list so I can check each day what did get done.  I also put post-its around my computer screen as reminders.

I don't know how to insert a document  so here's what I wrote: a column with the days of the week and then columns with these titles: Drink more water, Stretching (chin tucks, tummy tucks, core strengthening), Exercise or Yoga, Reading self-improvements (15 min a day) or a conference, Deep-breathing or meditation, Spanish (I want to learn spanish so either read or listen), Earlier bed-time, Soup (need to eat soup 2 to 3 times a week), Before bed-time routine to do 15 min. before going to bed, Less Facebook, 15 min of creativity, Declutter, 1 Happy thing.

I'm hoping I get into the habit of things!

2014 Christmas crafts started

Did my 1st Christmas ornament to give to my friends.  with cinnamon sticks as the tree stump.  smells good too!

More card-making stuff

some cards & boxes I made.  Received all in a kit with instructions with pictures and made them at home.  The 5 small boxes were made from just one 12" X 12" cardstock. They were fun to make.
Didn't write anything yet on them.

another card made for Valentine's day

Made this with the help of my niece Florence
