Christmas Dough

I saw something similar to this online and couldn't wait to make it for neighbor gifts this year. I mean everyone can use extra dough at Christmas!

Oh Christmas Tree

I had so much fun creating our Christmas tree this year.
I found the adorable snowman hats at Ralph Jones and just had to build around them. I had a tough time finding black ornaments so I created my own using glass ornaments and glitter. I love this tree!

Frosty Pops

For Miranda's choir party I created these adorable frosty cake pops.
I used rolos and chocolate melts for the hat. I just love it wrapped up with the scarf :)
They were a huge hit at the party!

Christmas Countdown Tin

For Super Saturday this year I came up with a simple craft for everyone to make. Using a 24 hole muffin tin you create a Christmas countdown calendar. The papers are attached using magnets so you can re-use them from year to year and are easy to store. (plus as an added bonus you can use the muffin tin to bake in!)
Behind each number you can put treats or slips of paper with different holiday activities your family can do together.
I had to make 35 kits so they started out like this....
and this...
and then I separated them into ribbon, die cuts and brad/button bags....Seriously these little bags just make me sooo happy to see....they are like candy to me (and less calories too)
I have a few more things to do like copy the number tags and cut the squares but they are mostly finished. Can you believe I had most all the supplies on hand for all 35 kits! I used paper that I had purchased to make Christmas cards last year, but didn't end up using. All this red & green is getting me excited for Christmas!

Christmas Cards

After sitting in this stage for a few days...

They are finally complete and in the mail! Yes, they made it out with time to spare. I love the soft pastel colors in this card. I hope everyone enjoys them and all the love that went into making them.

I like to consider my handmade Christmas cards my gift to those far away.
Merry Christmas... and I better get busy designing next year's cards so I won't cut it so close.
