Reindeer Tag a la Tim Holtz and Advent

Here's my variation on Tim's 2nd Tag. Since I didn't have any of the supplies mine turned out a little different but I'm really happy with it.

I was a little stumped on how to recreate his wreath; what I came up with was so simple - I painted a piece of twine with acrylic paint. Told you it was simple :-)

and here's Tim's original:

For our 2nd Advent game the boys unwrapped Zombie Fluxx. We were all laughing ourselves silly when my eldest played the rule that makes you groan loudly every time you draw a zombie "creeper" card. It was hilarious and that game is a fave of ours.

but we could only play through one round because we went to the opening night of Annie.

Waiting for close to an hour in freezing rain for our tickets made the warmth inside the theater so welcoming and festive.

Thanks for the wonderful response to my tulle and spool garland. You're all so incredibly sweet.
