Instructions:

Step 1. Paint the fence on the one house Wicker White. Cut papers to fit to birdhouse and Mod Podge to houses. Allow to
dry and then add a topcoat.
Step 2. For the icicles trace the front of each roof onto a piece of paper. Place paper under the clear mat and begin making
the icicles with the White Mold Melts. Make sure your drips are going downward. Allow each to dry and then add
to the fronts of the houses with the melting melt in the glue gun. For the icicles on the top and edges of the roofs
sides, draw a straight line and then follow the line and making sure the icicles are going downward. Add to the
houses with the melting melt in the glue gun.
Step 3. To make the wreaths and the ornaments on the tree use the opaque colors and just drop small drips onto the clear
mat. Make enough for the wreaths in green and the some for colors for the tree. Attach with the mold melts in the
same colors.
Step 4. For the tree, snowman, and the painted fence use the stencil brush to add the Collage Clay to all. Allow to dry and
then paint the small trees Citrus Green and the snowman Pure Black and Wicker White. Allow to dry. Paint the
larger tree with Classic Green. Allow to dry and then stencil some Wicker White on the tree branches for snow.
Add the face to the snowman with the Pure Black using the liner brush. Dry brush the cheeks on with the stencil
brush dipped in Apple Red.
Step 5. Add the ornaments to large tree using the mod melts.
Step 6. Use the Mod Mold to make the “MAIL” in blue, the “PEACE” in red and the “102” in green. Add them to the houses
with the mod melts. Use the liner brush to highlight with Wicker White.
Step 7. Make the snow surrounding the houses, trees and snowman by using the White Mod Melts and layering them.
Allow the melts to dry before adding another layer
Step 8. Glue on buttons for the doorknobs, bows on the wreaths and the star on the large tree.
Step 9. To make the snow on houses thicker just keep layering and layering the roof allowing the mod melts to dry in
between.

    What is my favorite holiday tune? There are so many! The first one that always come to mind is White Christmas by Bing Crosby. To me, no one sings it better. Merry Christmas everyone and good luck to you all!! 🙂

    I’ll be home for Christmas.
    Born and raised in Minn, I’ve been away from home, in Ind, for 40 yrs. My mom and siblings (& families) all live up there. I’ve only made it home for Christmas once in all those yrs. Even after all this time, homesickness sets in at Christmastime. This song speaks to my heart.

    My favorite holiday tune is I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day – “And in despair I bowed my head. There is no peace on earth I said. For hate is strong and mocks the song of peace on earth goodwill to men.”

    Judy Garland singing “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” (although, I admit, it has brought me to tears at times!)

    There are many very beautiful ones but I think it’s a toss up between “O Holy Night” and the ” Little Drummer Boy” . Merry Christmas to all

    My favorite Christmas tune is “We wish you a Merry Christmas”, because it expresses all the feelings I have about the season.

    What Child is This. My grandpa loved to listen to me play the piano. I have a fond memory of playing this song for him when I was just a girl. He fell asleep in his rocker near the piano. I would stop playing, and he would stir…so I just kept playing and playing for hours so he would get some rest. He was such a wonderful man. This song is still my favorite to play, I’ll get lost in it with such sweet memories.

    My favorite holiday tune is the anniversary song, as it’s the only holiday I celebrate with a signature tune. Plaid has long been my favorite color.

    My favorite Christmas Song is … “Mary, did you know?”

    I have always preferred the traditional carols, and still do to a large extent. But this more modern
    take on Christmas from a closer, family-type perspective, makes me misty it’s so moving.

    The 12 Days of Christmas is my favorite because my husband suffers from Alzheimer’s and each year I try to do this 12 Days of Christmas thing where he gets to do something special each of the 12 days leading up to Christmas including opening a small present. I am hoping if I make a big enough deal about it, there will be at least one thing he will remember. A lot of his gifts are handcrafted. He likes those.

    My Favorites are The pieces performed by the Trans Siberian Orchestra. I love them all. I play the CD all season long.

    Jingle Bells is one of my favorites, bur every time I hear Holly Jolly Christmas by Beryl Ives it brings back memories of our then our just barely by two weeks two year old daughter standing up on her chair at our oldest daughter’s 2ond grade Christmas program and saying quite loudly between songs, if they weren’t going to sing Holly Jolly Christmas we were leaving. Everyone laughed and one man hollered out it was coming up soon according to the program. Love that memory!
