These are the beginnings of the first homemade gifts of the season. I have plans of making a puppet entourage for the boys, and my brother Andy will be making them a puppet theatre. I foresee many a drama played out for Jeff and me involving this wizard and ninja, along with all their friends who are still in my head. Wish me luck, as so far there has been a lot of thinking and figuring and very little sewing!

John Milton: Paradise Lost: (Norton Critical Editions)
This is on my list, because I refuse to be beaten! I missed the deadline, but I WILL finish this book!
Tedd Tripp: Shepherding a Child's Heart
This is just one of those books that's never far from my side. There's so much good stuff in there!
William Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night's Dream (The New Folger Library Shakespeare)
This one is for a book club, but I'm really enjoying it. I hadn't read it in years!
William Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet (Folger Shakespeare Library)
I was listening to "Romeo and Juliet" by the Killers, and suddenly I had to read the play again. I think there's a serious subliminal message in that song!
Robert Littlejohn: Wisdom and Eloquence: A Christian Paradigm for Classical Learning
A. A. Milne: Winnie-the-Pooh (Pooh Original Edition)
We have a collection of small Pooh characters with which we act out the stories from this book while we listen. It's our bedtime book right now.
J. M. Barrie: Peter Pan: The Original Story
We'll be starting this one as soon as school lets out for the summer! I can't wait!
Cynthia Rylant: Henry And Mudge And The Sneaky Crackers
Grayson loves any Henry and Mudge book, but this one is his favorite!
Norman Bridwell: Clifford The Small Red Puppy
Clifford is Grant's favorite character right now. He loves to pretend to be him, and then grow up big when I hug him.
Great idea for kid gifts. My girls have never taken to puppets, but they LOVE any kind of small doll or stuffed animal. Maybe I can run with that idea . . .

Thanks, Meg! That would be me taking a macro shot of a light because all the ornament shots were blurry and backlit. You need soft trees for your banner!

They have the makings of being really cute puppets! I'm sure that glass of wine helps with the creativity, right? hee he
