A Christmas Goodnight

A Christmas Goodnight ,written by Nola Buck and illustrated by Sarah Jane Wright.  Sarah Jane is also a textile designer. I love her work!

This is brand new this year, and a must have for your Christmas library! The story is in simple rhyme, and is so soothing to read at any time of day...but particularly bedtime. Much like Goodnight Moon in theme, the story starts off saying goodnight to all the characters in the Christmas Story, and then pans gracefully to a Christmas Eve scene where a little boy is now saying goodnight to the characters in his creche. A very warm depiction of that special night! 

Here's a fun personalized gift for kids!
 Give a personalized Christmas photo ornament to the special people on your list.

I made several for my Nursery kids(age 18 mths-3 years), the kids were so cute picking their ornaments off the Christmas Tree! I want to share the smiles!

Supplies:

What you'll need:

• Clear Christmas Bulbs about 6" or larger with removable tops/hooks
• Photos
• Scissors
• Pencil or paintbrush or Q-tips
• Optional: Paint, Christmas ribbon, Potpourri

How to make it:

1. Take tops off of clear bulbs. Cut picture about the same diameter of bulb.
2. Wrap photo around pencil (photo side out).
3. Slip pencil and picture into bulb.
4. Use pencil or q-tips to straighten out picture to stand upright in the middle of bulb.
5. Optional: Fill up back side of picture. You can add potpourri or ribbons to the inside to the back of photo.
6. Then with some paint on the opposite of picture add the date, your name, your greeting etc.
