Hello everyone and Happy New Year! It's my turn to share here and over at SHE'S A SASSY LADY   so I'm showcasing a Christmas banner I made to hang over our fireplace!  I want to say, right up front, that I apologize for the shortness of this post but in the last month, we moved into our new house and hosted several Christmas gatherings and I just started a new job..... so my crafting has been kind of hit or miss! Here is the banner: I used Art Deco for the font - 4"-  and Pretty Pennants for the pennant shape - 6".  This banner was so easy to put together and I just love how it looks over our fireplace!  I hope you all had a very merry Christmas and I pray you all have a blessed New Year!  Well, short and sweet but I hope you enjoyed my project! See ya' next month! JAVA JEN
