Christmas Cheer

This is a paint can (new!) that I altered into a "Christmas in a Can". It is covered with cardstock from Die Cuts With a View "Christmas Stack". I love this line of crafty papers. Some of them are glittery and all are very pretty and sturdy! On the handle of the can is an acrylic photo album.See below for a close-up view.

This is a gift from the Grans to the other Grandparents. They have all kinds of goodies in it to help them have a cheery Christmas! Now, just to get it in the mail!! EEKS!!

Happy Birthday, Bro!

Tooo many years ago on December 4th, my big brother, Charles, was born to John and Georgia Goodnight in Dallas Texas at Baylor Hospital. He went home to one older brother, Darrel. I came along about 4 years later. While I was growing up, Charles was a great big brother. He always had my back against bullies. Like the time, a kid told me there was no Santa Claus or the same kid called me "potato ears", he would get in their face and tell them to be quiet and put his arm around me and pat. Soooo sweet!

Now, he's a husband, father to 4, Grandfather to 4 and Great-uncle to many. He's still just as sweet and good-natured as ever. If I got to choose my brother, I'd pick him. He's the BEST!!

Happy Birthday, Charles!!
