This was a fun, albeit long project. I love the way it turned out, though.

Mini dove frames too!
And because most every household item is so cute in miniature, here’s a mini frame. Included is a detachable black ribbon for hanging on the tree. For sale in my shop.
Christmas Dove Art
The dove has long been the symbol of peace. The gentle shapes combined with the warm texture of a red sweater made a lovely picture. The book pages were carefully selected . . . some of my favorite passages from The Return of the King that speak of the healing of harms. Add a bit of gold dusting powder and it’s ready to welcome Christmas oh so festively.
Love Never Ends.
{stuff used to make this:}
burlap wrapped frames with ugly flower pictures on them
book pages from library sale (long ago acquired in Hinsdale)
Mod Podge
Rubber Stamps (Pottery Barn clearance I love.)
Black paint (a cast-off from David’s workplace)
I loved making these. And how they are off to the special recipients
in honor of weddings and happy marriages.
Budget Cookie Packaging
Free photo prints and after-Easter cellophane buying and homemade peanut butter cookies and some tape made these dressed-up dandies, ready to be tucked into the hands of folks visiting the Operation Christmas Child bake sale. Baking and decorating and a good cause = happiness!
And for those of you who want the labels, here they are. You can print them as an 8×10.
Making do
