First Christmas Craft.....

Making ornaments out of a scrabble game. First, I collected the names and place them on the bars to see what fit the best. Then, I had Charles saw them at my marks. The edges were a little rough and I did not have sandpaper so I went outside and used my sidewalk to smooth them up real quick :) I simply used wood glue and glue the ribbon behind the center letters. Now we all have our personal ornaments for this year and the kids love to find their names on the tree! So simple and easy!





SO I am in LOVE with pinterest. If  you are on pinterest then you know exactly what I am talking about. There are so many amazing things that strike your interest and so many things that I want to accomplish now. Maybe in the end possibly selling some of my creations. There are a lot of dreams that I have for my photography career and a lot of ways that I would like to things go. However, God's plans are not always the same as our plans so while I am learning my patience, I am spending my time being creative! I look forward to sharing everything with you!

Get Crafty for Christmas......

It's that time again, time to start working on Christmas presents and crafts. I am looking forward to creating and making crafts with the kids over Christmas break. Hopefully we can accomplish some of the things that I want to. I am looking forward to making things that are new and creative projects. I have a few that will be gifts but most of them will just be fun bonding time with the kids. We may do some baking this year also. My new goal this year is to become an expert wrapper. I have the hardest time wrapping presents nicely, so I am going to try my hardest to master that. I hope to have projects to show you very soon! Merry CHRISTmas and God Bless.
