Decorations celebrating Messiah's birth

I must tell you what I made! I am pleased with it.

As many of you know, we celebrate His birth
during Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), an 8-day
period in October. We build little temporary huts in
our back yards and eat there, play there, etc. We
decorate them with tree boughs, fruit, art, etc. So
I got an idea.

Taking photos of my grandaughter and my
grandson, I used Publisher to block out all parts of
the photos I did not want, then made that area light
blue.

My granddaughter had her hands together as
though praying, so I left her head, hair, white shirt,
arms, and hands in the photo.

My grandson is somewhat dark-skinned, with
black hair, so this helped. In the photo, he is very
young and is laughing.

I placed my granddaughter so that she is above
him, like she is flying, looking down at him. Using
the computer, I drew wings and a flowing skirt on
her. One heel and a whole foot are sticking out of
the bottom of the skirt. I surrounded the baby
with a swaddling wrap and hay.

Wow! It looks great! I can't wait to hang it in my
sukkah. I plan to make other relevant pictures for
it using photos of my other grandchildren.

 

Thanks, Tauf! I wishh my reeal computer was
hooked up to Internet so I could show it, because
it was very easy and a good way to decorate.

I thought, as I made them, that it might be a good
way for those who use Christmas cards to make
their own.
