Santa Gifts

The boys got these cute shirts in their stockings.

Bookshelf

The four older kids helped me build this bookshelf

while John was working at Brian's house.

So far the books are staying the the bookshelf!

Bow and Arrow

Late one night (he had taken an accidental nap)

Jonah asked for help in making a bow and arrow.

We used a wrapping paper roll,

yarn, card board, and duct tape.

He was REALLY happy. :)

For Karen

I made this for a YW in our ward for her birthday.

It's a yo yo with a painted button on the front,

and an alligator clip and a pin on the back.

Christmas Ornaments

John and I helped the kids make these foam photo

ornaments with a kit from Hobby Lobby.

They were kind of a pain to glue together,

but turned out pretty cute anyway.

The kids loved them.

New Bag!

After using my Wasp Bag for nearly a year,

I was ready for a change.

I couldn't find the bag I wanted,

so I bought a $2 purse from Target.

Then, I spotted this bag at the mall

and luckily had some birthday money

just waiting to be spent!

Puppy Love

Christmas gift for Brianna

I snatched a photo of her dogs from her blog,

edited it in picasa, and used snapfish for the poster.

Flower Clips

I made the first batches of hair clips on our way

to and from California, then made more as needed

for our elementary school's Santa's Workshop.
