ON THE SEVENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, your true love gave to you - seven swans a swimming...
...six geese a laying, five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree.
All of the swans have flown south for the winter, but here are some of the bubbles they used while they were swimming.
You can also enjoy these seventh day of Christmas blog posts from other About.com Guides!
Remember to check back tomorrow to find out what goodies await you on day 8 of the 12 Days of Christmas, About.com style!

Welcome to yet another Make-It-Over Monday post! With this next week or two being so busy for so many people, I am going to extend this week's challenge for two weeks. Hopefully everyone will take the extra family time to make crafts together! Before we start thinking about this week's challenge, check out some of the results from the last Make-It-Over craft challenge. Check out some of the coffee can crafts that were submitted:
I want to thank everyone who has p[articipated in any of my
craft challenges and urge those of you who haven't yet, to try it!
Now onto this week's challenge item. I figured with so many people exchanging cards at this time of year. That greeting cards might be a good craft challenge item:

What can you make out of an old card? It can be a Christmas card, a birthday card, or any other card. Your project can use one or more cards. I am excited to see what everyone comes up with! You can share your simple ideas and tips using the comments feature on this blog post, but to get your project possibly featured in next week's Make-It-Over Monday blog post, please submit it using this simple form. If you make the project you are submitting, take a picture of it and submit the photo. If you have a blog or Web site and participate, I will happily include a link to your site on the project page.
Some of the submitted ideas will be shared in next week's Make-It-Over Monday blog post. You can look through projects submitted for past challenges if you want some inspiration. You can also still submit craft projects made using past Make-It-Over craft challenge items.
If you have questions or comments about this craft challenge, use the comment feature below. Suggestions regarding this feature, including suggestions for items to make-over? Again, use the comments feature to post your suggestions; and, thanks for playing along. If you want a reminder when Make-It-Over challenges are posted, sign up for the Family Crafts newsletter.
