Thanks again Martha:

Yarn tree: Snowflake

Draw a shape. Tape waxed paper over design. Dip yarn in white glue; wipe off excess with fingertips. Lay yarn on waxed paper, following design underneath. Let dry several hours until stiff, then remove. Tie on a thread loop for hanging.

-these are great crafts that will allow you to spend time and make memories with your child.  After all, the memories made are what really matters.  Stop and  think about how you will be remembered. Merry Christmas!

 Thanks Martha Stewart:

Homemade Decorations: Yarn

Pom-poms, tassels, and snowflakes made of vibrant yarn create a cozy, crafty theme for a tree. A sewing basket is a fitting container (the tree sits in a separate pot surrounded by gravel); the gifts are wound with yarn.
