I have a confession. I sat down and read the entire Christmas in July Book Club selection, Bah, Humbug! last night in one sitting. It was a quick read for me and very cute...won't say anymore because my fellow CIJ celebrants are no doubt still reading.
The Orange Pom Bubbly was delicious - I had to substitute Cointreau for the Grand Marnier but they are both orange so it worked. I mixed 1/2 ounce Cointreau with 1 ounce of pomegranate juice and topped up a big wine glass with champagne. Cheers!
Today's craft was going to be a trial run of this Glitter Ornament: http://theornamentgirl.com/blog/being-crafty/how-to-make-glitter-christmas-ornaments-diy/.
I had to substitute a Mop and Glo product for the Pledge Floor Wax because I couldn't find that exact wax so I'm hoping it works. I say hoping because a return trip to Michael's still did not yield the glass ornaments that I need. In fact, the cashier I spoke to said that they would be putting out their Christmas in July displays next month (uh, doesn't that make it Christmas in August?). AC Moore also had nothing so I am on hold with the ornaments.
I have another craft up my sleeve, this Christmas Pudding ornament: http://bugsandfishes.blogspot.com/2008/10/felt-ornament-how-to-3-christmas.html. I have all the supplies for this one.
Today's carol is "Angels from the Realms of Glory".
I'm off to enjoy White Christmas as our first movie of Christmas in July 2013; it's one of our absolute favorites.
