Christmas catch-up

I missed out on posting several of our holiday activities while our computer was down (for example, the cookie-a-week I intended to share), but hate to think I completely missed my chance. So bear with me while I indulge myself in a little holiday recap today. And probably again later this week.
From the top:
1) Our decorated holiday sugar cookies. We don't make the cut-out-and-frost variety of cookies very often, so this was a treat for the kids.
2) The paper snowflake I made while visiting with my friend Jess and her blog party guests. Template here in case you're still up for winter decorating.
3) Kids in the snow. I cut out the scarves from solid-color fleece. Talk about a quick and easy project! To personalize, see painting fleece scarves here.
4) Flower decoration made from catalog pages. I love recycled decorating projects! Tutorial here. For other colors and sizes made from copy paper, see here.
5) Lincoln Park Zoolights. Great night out for the kiddos.

You know I just started fiddling with these photo collages-sorry if you need a magnifying glass to make out the images!
