Christmas Gifts

This year I made advent calendars for my husbands family I only took a few pictures but they were a blast to make and a challenge to make them all unique and different. I really wish I would have taken more pictures there were some that were not traditional colored and super FUN!


Made the girls matching dresses they were lots of fun to make and big sis' dress used lots of fabric

My Nana passed away this year so for Christmas my mom and I made this for my step-dad. 
 We took a board and spray painted it. Then the white board all ready had the groves in it. It is a special type of board I think it starts with a W.  Anyways we took that and a paper towel dipped in brown paint and smeared it to give it the rugged look.  Then we took a picture of my step-dad and his siblings and a brochure from the funeral and got plexiglass cut just bigger then the picture and brochure and used acorn nuts and bolts to attach it to the frame. Lastly we got some beads and hot glue and got a little crazy.


Made some letter pillows for some family friends.


Cork coaster, I cut wine corks in half and hot glued them on to cork board and bamm a cork coaster 



Made a few other simple things for family year to make it another homemade Christmas.
