Christmas in August?

Today, while Mr. and Mrs. Murphy looked at different houses and property, we got to watch their children! The last time they were here, I promised them that we'd make a movie together. So, this time, we set about doing just that! It took us over an hour to come up with a plot. Then started making the "props" - Christmas decorations.

We wanted to make a sign that would cover the very-full-of-messages marker board, and remembered that all-purpose wedding isle runner.=)

We decided that we'd make the movie in black and white, so we didn't need to worry about the right colors.

Still coloring.



Hanging up the sign.

Merry Christmas.

We had to be authentic and couldn't use Elmer's glue. So I whipped up some flour and water paste.=)
