So because I cant remember who it was that asked me (S.R.B.S. (aka super retardo brain syndrome)), I thought I would share it here in case that person actually reads my blog.
#1 I went online to print it out (because I didn't want to tear it out of the magazine). I changed the proportions so it would end up on a piece of 8 1/2" by 11" paper (for laminating purposes). I printed it at 150% on my printer. It turned out right (after shaving off a bit of the trunk...he he).
#2 I cut out the tree and glued the two pieces together. Then I glued them onto a piece of heavy card stock along with the question lists.
#3 Laminated the card stock
#4 Glued the "scripture adorned ornaments" to heavy card stock and cut them out. Then I laminated those as well and cut them out AGAIN.
#5 I put velcro circles on the blank tree ornaments and on the back of the scripture ornaments.
VIOLA!
(easier said than done...the thumb on my right hand is still numb)
We already read scripture #1 last night.
We are going to have to play a bit of catch up but this is perfect for us and our evening devotional time (scripture, songs, family prayer).
One scripture at a time...25 days to tell the story of Christ's birth.
And...because it is laminated I can keep it for next year, and the next year, and the next year......
HAPPY AD-VENTING!

Very cute! I saw that in the Friend, too. When you went online, were they colored already, or did you have to do the coloring?
Love that idea! I cut it right out of the magazine and have been using tape and today I was thinking about how dumb that was because I won't be able to use it again :) I think I might just have to copy you.
Melanie, this is awesome. We just got our mag last night. Imma go find it. PS. new blog.
