JOY

 

Finding Joy

 

This year at the start of the Christmas season my family and I decided to make

the season JOYful. Last year a friend shared with us the true meaning

of JOY -

It is putting Jesus 1st, Others 2nd, and Yourself last.

Now I know this is hard and we shouldn't always put ourselves last.

This was just a nice reminder to not think about ourselves this Christmas

but to try and make others happy.

(we are having fun planning Secret Santa stuff)

 

I purchased three 5x7 frames

 

 

Yes, that says $1.50 - I went to the dollar store!

I picked out 3 different papers that I thought worked well together and cut them to my frame size.

These are from the Frosted paper pack from Close To My Heart.

 

 I used my Cricut to cut out the J O Y.

I attached them to the background paper.

 

I put the letters in the frame and surrounded it with tiny plastic glittery snow flakes

and tinsel. 

 

Now my family is reminded of the

The Real Reason for The Season!

 

*The approximate cost of this total project was $7.50 but it looks like I spent much more!

Wishing you a JOYful Christmas season!
