Man, I wish I had the patience to make stuff like that. The second time I glue my fingers together I usually have to go off and take a nap.
The Little'Un and I did do a long paper chain last year but we only got through that one because the strips were already cut.
Come Christmas, Martha Stewart I'm not.....

All are so beautiful. I remember making the paper chains in school. All went well until the boys ate the school paste.
