Weekly Challenge #248

Good morning everyone!
We're on the home stretch to the big day here at Casa Diva!  The boys are spending their days making snowflakes and getting excited Christmas.

Artoo had a very special day in school - his Holiday Celebration!  His class at school invited a special person to come for snacktime! And that special person was me!  Artoo made me a special gingerbread cookie that he decorated all by himself.  It was delicious.

Adding the icing

Carefully decorating with sprinkles

When the parents arrived, we got to read stories together and eat our special snack and make a craft together!

Donuts!

It was a very fun time.

Smile!

Chewie has been very interested in decorating for the holidays, and he and B-rad put up some christmas lights outside in the tree.

I just love this face

another fun thing at our house is our family elf on the shelf named Elfybulla who reports back to Santa each night and then gets himself into shenanigans.  The boys have been having such a great time looking for him each morning.

Elfybulla wrapped himself inside our old cat door. He's not very proficient with tape. 

I can't believe how fast the days are going by.  I'm running out of time to get everything done!! So, as i have done in past years - I will be taking the rest of December off from Challenges. 

The weekly challenges will resume again on January 4th, and we will be into our FIFTH YEAR OF WEEKLY CHALLENGES!!! can you even believe it!! 

Weekly Challenge #248: "Give the Gift of Zentangle" 

this year's final Diva Challenge will be to give the gift of zentangle! 

I always cherish those gifts that are made by the giver.  I know for a fact that a person who takes the time out of their busy lives to MAKE something with their own two hands is giving you a piece of their heART.  

So this year, i'm giving my son's teachers each a zentangle gift.  Inspired by the Gold heart series done by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas - i created these bijou tiles which happened to fit perfectly in these ornament frames i found at Michaels. 

Give a gift of zentangle to someone in your life!!  A friend, a teacher, a mailman, a doctor.... a perfect stranger!! 

Happy Holidays everyone and a Happy New Year.  May you all have cups full of cheer, and ink in your microns!! 

If you love the challenge as much as i do, please consider leaving a tip (tip jar in the side bar).  I write this blog for free and have no plans to make it a paid for service in the future.  Buy me a cup of coffee, or a new Micron pen!!  A very big thank you to those who have kept me in hot cups of joe. ;) 

Lots of love from Casa Diva!

See you back here January 4th!
