A Whoville Christmas...

Hi everyone!  Hope your Christmas shopping is going well - I just wanted to jump on here and tell you a little about a fun Christmas party my husband and I went to.  It was a Whoville Christmas Party... Now, when I heard the theme for this party, I knew I had to do something!  This kind of thing does not come around very often.  So, I got to work...



The sweater is from Goodwill and the skirt is from the Salvation Army.  Both were a cream color when I bought them.  I dyed both of them green - and starched the skirt (I might have ruined my iron 😏).  I also hung small ornaments from my skirt.  There were also a few in my hair!


I did not do my own hair and makeup!  That was done by a good friend of mine, Janine.  She does a fabulous job!  If you live near the Buffalo area in Minnesota, look her up at Salon 606 - She does hair, nails and makeup.

Janine also did my husbands hair and "makeup"😄!  He was such a trooper, he decided to grow his hair out for the occasion.  Right after our son was in bed - He had me shave it off!  He actually shaved his facial hair off as well.  He made a great Mayor of Whoville!!!


The party was for the Marriage Matters Group at our church.  It was a really fun night!  It did, however, take more time for us to get ready for the party, than the party lasted 😊.

This is a shot of us after we got home.  See how tired he looks?! 😫


Yes, I am the one who wants to take all the pictures - He was kind enough to oblige me 😃.
I also promised my son that he could have the little bulbs off my skirt when we got home... Here he is, doing just that!


 Oh!  Here is the dessert I made for the party.  It was supposed to be an appetizer, but I don't do appetizers, I do desserts!



I had to show you some sort of paper craft!  😉 The sign, is so people knew what it was.  When you go to a pot-luck and you don't know what something is...who wants to chance it?  Not me!

I made the candies and candy cane with my Cricut Explore and Design Space with the Simply Charmed and Christmas Cheer cartridges.

Hope you enjoyed it!  Have a very blessed Christmas!!!





Remember: God loves you & Jesus is Lord!

Merry Christmas!


Merry Christmas to you!!!!!  I love Christmas!  I love what it stands for and represents.  Jesus, he was sent, to make peace with man!  The war is over!  The Grace of God abounds!  Jesus, light in darkness, peace in turmoil, Health & Wholeness!  Ooohhh, to receive Jesus and what He is!  God so loved.... Can we even wrap our head around that?  Really, think about that!  Well, maybe I can pick up on that at Easter.
I wish you a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!


This is just a cup, wrapped in paper, with tissue paper, filled with candy!



May your day be filled with Love, Family, Friends and the PEACE OF GOD!


I used Design Space to make the window frame & tree.  Colored the frame with alcohol ink markers.  I used my Cuttlebug & a Snowflake embossing folder, with vellum, to make the outdoor snow scene.

God Bless you!
