For the 18th day of year we actually created a little saying that lights up that says God Yul. Which is Norwegian for saying Good Yule, because many of the winter solstice traditions that we follow in modern times is from the ancient Vikings. My original intention was to make these with wood slices then use a permanent marker to write the letters on it. Since I don't have the proper tools as my husband says soak up the word synonym I used cardboard. He then traces the exact size of the cardboard on to the card stock we choose so that it matches perfectly. Now my advice when doing this try to keep your card stock with the paper that you cut. So when it comes time to gluing you don't have a puzzle trying to find the perfect matching piece. While my youngest son is doing the gluing I cut the paper that I would like to border the words I think it helps give it a little extra something. I measured the exact size that I wanted making sure that each letter was the same size and Phoenix cut them. Now it's time for the magical words remember you can choose any words you like Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Hannukah etc. Use the glue to write your words now after each letter apply a large amount of glitter. Dont worry about the mess, because this is what is really going to make it sparkle! Once they are completely dry I put my fake candle lights behind them and it not only lights them up from behind it also helps them to stand up so that you are able to see them Once they are completely dry I put my fake candle lights behind them and it not only lights them up from behind it also helps them to stand up so that you are able to see them

As a mom of three boys who go to public school I started to notice that some things were not being taught in detail so I decided to create lessons for them. Many of these lessons cover science, history and of information about Paganism. I share crafts for the all different holidays and cultures as ways that they can learn and have fun at the same time.
