And here it is.....my post-Christmas reminder of simplicity. Santa brought one of these airplanes to each of my children; they're identical to the kind found at the Target dollar bin. Electronics and much more expensive toys were unwrapped that morning, and one of the most played with that Christmas morning and still today are these wooden planes, no larger than 4 inches long. I hope they continue to play with them all year long, as a reminder to me of what is important and that beauty often lies in simpleness.
A little of this, a little of that, and all the while trying to keep simplicity and tradition in our family's modern-day life.

Beautiful Winter Tree -- maybe $2??
So The Nester, who has some great craft projects, made a wonderful coffee filter tree and after making an easy coffee filter wreath I think I may give it a try for some last-winter decor in the house. But rather than buying a foam cone, I'm going to try to use some large cardstock I have here in the house to make my own free cone. http://www.thenester.com/2010/11/making-a-coffee-filter-wreath-and-tree-and-things-of-that-nature.html
