Hello there It's a Good Day readers!

My name is Heather from Blessed Little Nest
and I'm excited to be participating in Teresa's Christmas in July.

I love to get crafty with a lot of things
but my two favorites are vintage goods and my kids,
so I came up with a super simple
way to incorporate both while creating some
stylish Christmas decor.

Paper snowflakes may be an oldy,

but in my book
they are always a goody!

Step 1. Find cool old book.
Dictionaries, cook books,
or books written in another language are all good choices.

Step 2. Rip out a page of said book,
cut off torn edges, and cut the page in half.

Step 3. Fold your half sheet in half twice.

Find a cute little boy that's been itching to
use your "fancy" scissors and let him help you.

Annoy said cute boy by taking WAY
too many pictures of him using the 'fancy' scissors.

Watch the snow begin to fall.

Hang your snowflakes at varying heights.

Enjoy the snow fall.

Happy Christmastime crafting!

And to help get you in the crafting spirit
I'd like to give away a mini crafting kit to one lucky reader!

The kit includes:
-vintage paper from a french book
for creating your own snowflakes,

-some bakers twine for hanging your snowflakes,

-a $10 gift card to Starbucks
(since all great crafting ventures include coffee),

-and a coffee sleeve from Let Love Grow.
100% of the proceeds from Let Love Grow
go towards paying adoption costs.
