Message Board

This is a message board that I made for my dear friend Karen's birthday.  I learned the HARD way that magnetic spray on paint DOES NOT work.  This was made from a 12x12 canvas.  

Teacher Gift

Mylie's first grade teacher, Mrs. Conn, has been a teacher for a long time.  I wanted to make something homemade, but figured she probably has a lot of things she has received as gifts over the year.  Mylie and I stumbled upon these coasters while shopping one night and I thought how cute and easy it would be to personalize them.  They were plain white, but with some cute Studio Calico paper, some modge podge, and my Cricut - we made a quick and cute gift!

A cute gift idea!

Last night I worked on some cute little gifts for some of my cute girlfriends, and one for Jeff's secret santa at work.  If you are looking for a cute last minute gift, pick up some frames from the dollar store (these are 3.5 x 5) and use the supplies that you have on hand. 

I also made cute little matching notebooks for each of them.  I love being able to make cute handmade gifts!

December Days

In addition to the December Daily book that I made, I also made December mini books for my mom, sisters, and sister-in-law.  I couldn't post them all until this week when Courtney got hers.  Here they are!  I think it is fun how different they all are.

This is the one for my mom.  She is not a picture taker so I sent a camera with her as well.  MOM - I hope you are taking lots of pictures!! 

This one is for my adorable sister-in-law Holli.  I can't wait to see it when she is done.  She is also a scrapbooker.

This one is for my darling sister Courtney.  Things at her house are busy with a 2 year old and a 10 month old.  I hope she is able to capture their Christmas season.

This is for my super cute baby sister Bailey.  She is a crafter extraordinaire.  I can't wait to see what she comes up with!

I can't wait to look at all the books when they are finished!
