I am pretty sure we had one of those in my family too. I don't particularly remember it but found and old black & white pic from long ago of a cardboard nativity.

Gracie did a lovely job - and even if she hadn't, the fact that she used her own hands to paint, THAT is what made this gift so special.<br /><br />We should learn to accept compliments - and acknowledge the good things we do with proper humility, of course - but also with joy!<br /><br />As far as being or doing everything perfect - well, only One person was able to do that. And He loves to see His children's work!<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-86024363186550803522013-12-03T10:54:26.802-08:002013-12-03T10:54:26.802-08:00Such gifts just keep on giving as this one does.

Thanks you so much for admiring my new header. I will do my best to tell you how...if you use Picmonkey. I started with with background pic taken last year of the candle and Christmas tree in the background. I made 6 copies of the pic and cropped each one in six different places...one for each pane of the window.. then I created a collage on picmonkey with 6 panes and added each cropped piece (which actually a pic of their own) to the panes and matched them up the right way. Then I added the snow overlay on picmonkey which had a thick white bottom that looked like built-up snow on a window sill....overtop of my window-pane collage. The white part is where I added my title...so...it only looks like it is BELOW the header...it actually on ON the header in the "snow" part of the overlay. I then added a few extra random snowflakes and the holly. I hope this helps you! If you have more questions, I will be glad to help you further...just email me if you like!
