Merry Christmas!

For the first time in my whole life we had a WHITE CHRISTMAS!!!

Here are some pictures:

My daughter Kaylee playing in the snow! Even the cat came outside to play!

My sisters Whitney, Jean, Britney, my brother in law George, Me, and Kaylee holding her baby snowman!

Our Snow Ladies! These are the very first snowmen I have ever made!

Christmas Card Holder

I saw this on someone eslse's blog but they made it out of felt, but I wanted my daughter to be able to help make it also, so I did a a search for a Christmas Light Bulb and this is what I find. I printed them out on cardstock.

So then my daughter, myself, and one of sister's colored our bulbs!

Next we hot glued baby clothes pins onto the back of the bulbs.

Next I got a place of ribbon and glued the clothes pin to the ribbon.

And then I hung it on my wall!



Don't Snicker....

I made these to give to the ladies at my corporate office!

I made a template using Word and just created a table and add clipart and my message, Zip-Lock Bags
Snickers, and a Staple Gun.

Heres my template:

Front:

Don't you snicker at least you got something!"

Back:

Merry Christmas!

Now place a couple of snickers in your zip lock bag! I actually used jewerly bags from Hobby Lobby!

Fold the bag down

Cut out your template and place over bag!

Enjoy!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

 So my tree has been up since the second week of November! I just love Christmas! So here is my outside decoration for my house! The two windows are just wreaths with Christmas lights and one red rope let across the top of the garage door! So now my house is smiling and wishing you a Merry Christmas!

Gumballs .25 cents!

My daughter is in 1st grade and I was asked to decorate the 1st grade pumpkin for their

 fall festival so this is what I came up with! I used a plastic flower pot and painted it red, and used a circle sponge for the gumballs, I just used acrylic paint and a clear glossy spray paint to finish it off! I think it is cute!

 Kaylee made a mini one to keep at home!

MY FIRST CUPCAKE CAKE! BOO!

My very first cupcake cake! While searching the web for a cute dessert to take to my parents annual Halloween Party I ran across this Ghost Cupcake Cake! So I decided to make it!

I used:

one box of yellow cake mix

2 cans of white icing

Black decorating gel

I printed the ghost diagram out and used it to help lay my cupcakes out, one thing I did learn is that you want the cupcakes to be as close together as you can get them, this will make it easier to put the icing on! Last add the eyes and mouth!

Ghost Wreath!

Over at www.jeanscraftycorner.blogspot.com, which Jean is my sister, she is doing a craft for every day of October, on Day 6 she made a ghost wreath, when she brought this wreath to my parents house I thought she made it for my daughter's teacher! HAHAHA Jeans always making Kaylee's teacher gifts, but sadly Jean kept her ghost wreath :( but she did bring me everything I needed to make our own! She is such a sweet and crafty sister! So me and Kaylee have been putting ghost together for the past three nights! If Kaylee didn't help I think I would of been done a lot sooner, but I wont complain it was free labor!

I used a wreath from the Dollar Tree, blow pops, coffee filters, black marker, ribbon, hot glue gun,and scissors, for full instructions click here.

Thanks for looking!
