Hello Friends, Happy Wednesday!

Welcome to my blog, Crafty and Green! Today we are here to give God the glory for what is the real reason of the season with our favorite verse for Christmas that means so much to us...please read and enjoy the creations these wonderful ladies did on their blogs.  Now lets get this party started!

If you came from my friend Shawnee then you are in the right place if you happened upon my blog then start at Kari's at Purple Funtastick Creations... We wouldn't want you to miss a thing!

We have some Really Fun Digi Stamps to Give away from Jens Digi Stamps, so you must comment on every blog along the way...easy peasy!

I have Many Favorite Christmas Verses, But these Struck a chord with me this week! My favorite Part of this verse is The part about But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 
Thank you Mother Mary for your YES!!

Luke 2:15-20

¹⁵ When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
 ¹⁶ So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. ¹⁷ When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, ¹⁸ and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. ¹⁹ But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. ²⁰ The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
