I’ve written about attending the Christmas Craft Fair held in our village. I wanted to show my support and bought a few small items.
Included were these cards and a pretty little Christmas box. I can use all these as gifts to special people There were a number of paper tole card designs. If I were to take up a craft, I think it would be this one. It is an old craft and involves layering cutouts to form a three-dimensional picture.
There were some large framed pictures on sale and they were very lovely indeed. Luckily, I don’t have room for more pictures.

Why is it always easier to find/buy new things we want than it is to get rid of them when we have to move/downsize later? When we were moving into this house five years ago, we donated so much stuff to the local thrift stores but we've already accumulated so much again... *sigh*
I've stopped going to craft shows and won't walk through home decorations anymore... something always wants to go home with me.

Though I would like to support them, I usually just walk away too.... My home already has too much junk that my children and I created, can't afford to bring in more...

And I love the gift box.
Yo got some lovely things.
Oh I know I bet you liked some of those bigger pics.
But I know, myself, no room or really should be getting rid of stuff.

Those cards are really pretty and I would also love to be able to make them. I certainly would enjoy going to a craft fair.

@JudyEv this might be something I'd be interested in too but right now I'm doing okay with crocheting. I don't send as many cards as I used to either but it does look like an interesting hobby.

@Marilynda1225 I'm thinking I might try making crochet bells, snowflakes, angels as Christmas decorations.

When I was young I did something called tole painting if I remember correctly. We used a piece of wood and painted a flower on top. I don't remember how it was done, but I've always remembered that term. Maybe I'll see if that's online.
It is.

@JudyEv my phone gets confused with what I'm trying to say. I meant tole painting. Sometimes I remember to check for typos but mostly I find them later.

@MarshaMusselman Oh, that makes more sense. 
I mostly find typos later too.
