Happy New Year!

Happy 2010! We spent the day out in the snow. Well the kids and hubby did. I had a perfect warm seat in the Tahoe and I had the important job of manning the camera:)

We then continued working on Mr. P's "big boy" room so his current room can be turned back into the baby's room. I think we may just be ready to paint this weekend. And then more work for me moving his things and getting baby things out.

Merry Christmas!

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!

Last minute sewing. . .

I have been working on my Christmas Quilt and had a few star points that just weren't working so I made them into a little mat for a special someone for Christmas.

Christmas Tree Gift Bags

I just loved this painting idea from No Time For Flashcards. She used a fork to paint the needles on a pine tree. We painted on brown paper lunch bags added a few sparkles/sequins and then used them for Christmas gift bags.

A Few Christmas Cards

A few weeks ago I was able to make it to a card class and here are a few cards we made.

Cinnamon Ornaments

Having a snow day yesterday we decided to make cinnamon ornaments.

Mix 1/4 cup cinnamon with 4 TB of applesauce. Either roll out or I had my daughter hand press out to about 1/4 inch and then we used cookie cutters to cut trees. Poke a hole to hang it with a ribbon. It will take about a week to dry all the way.

The house smells yummy in the process!

Christmas Candy Cookie Trays

A few days ago we made spin art with our salad spinner in hopes of making these.

Then we baked cookies yesterday and wanted to take some to our neighbor and as I was looking at our paper plate piles I came up with this. . .

Cover you plates with plastic wrap so the paint doesn't get on your cookies. Plate on bottom. . .

plate on top. . .

tie up with cellophane or we used some clear bags we had on hand. And now you have a Candy/Cookie Tray.

I think we will make a few more of these today!
