Pinned It, Did It Monday! {felt nativity and giveaway}

Welcome to Pinned It, Did It Monday.  This is the place where I share some of the things I’ve done around here that have been inspired by Pinterest.   I have been wanting to do something like this for awhile this Christmas season.  Most people are making these adorable felt Christmas trees for the kids to decorate.  And don’t make this feel bad.  I would have done a Christmas tree.  Really.  Except I had all the big pieces of brown, but no big piece of green.  So I went with the nativity instead so I could keep the cost of this free for me.

My Pictures:  Please excuse the awful flash pictures.  It’s been a dreary weekend! My review:  This is amazing!  She has every single piece on the pattern for you.  So all I did was print and cut and glue.  There was no cow, so of course I had to find another pattern for him because our stable needs a cow. :)  He played with it a ton and especially liked the presents the wise men had.  Don’t mind how bubbly the stable looks, I just attached it with tape for short term.  Tomorrow I’m off to the store to find a more “temporary permanent” way.  I look forward to reading the Christmas story and acting it out.  My mom also used the pattern to cut them out for their Sunday School.

But wait, have you made it this far?  Do you want a felt nativity set for your house?!  For free?!  I’m serious!

All you have to do is leave a comment on this post and tell me what your favorite holiday tradition is in your family.  And you will be entered to win a felt nativity set made by me.  You won’t get much use out of it before Christmas this year as it will get to right around then.  But next year, it will be all ready to pull out and attach to the wall.

So leave a comment.  Come on, do it.  I know I have a lot of silent readers out there.  :) The giveaway will be open until this Thursday, December 13th at midnight.  Friday morning, I’ll pick and announce one winner. Good luck!
