Homemade Christmas Gifts


I made this for my Mom and Vicki. I found it here.



I made this for Paige and Dallas. I bought a wooden plague at hobby lobby, painted it black, traced the plaque onto the scrap book paper, modge podged it to the plaque, printed off the pictures, then modge podged them as well and then I added a picture hook to the back that I found at lowes. I wanted to add a ribbon, but was nervous to do so b/c I didn't know their house colors. 



I made these for some of my sisters and Chase's girl friend, Hannah.


I made the next two for Brittany. This is pretty much the same concept as the plaque above, but I just bought a letter and painted it red, and glued it to the plaque.


On this one, I bought all the little wooden plaques at Hobby lobby, and did the same as above but stapled them to the ribbon, easy peasy.




I made this for my sister in law, Candi, because she loves snowmen, and I made one for myself, b/c it was just so darn cute, the tutorial is found here. Her's is way cuter, I also couldn't find scrabble pieces so I printed off some scrabble letters, What do you think? Was it tacky to do that?

I wish everything, well okay, almost everything, on my Fashion pinterest page would just magically appear in my closet. http://pinterest.com/bonnyd/fashion/

I am in TN, Brittany is here so obviously I had to come up here and see her. I'm going home on Monday, but something might accidentally cause my van to break down, so I will have to stay longer. Or maybe I'll just get "sick". Is it really that bad if the kids miss 6 days of school??

I'm going to Utah in April, I just found out a few days ago that I planned the trip over Easter weekend. I'm so bummed about it. I hate missing Easter with my family. Last year Chad was gone, so I might change my flight, it's with Frontier, hopefully their not little devils about it.

I hate my thyroid right now. I've worked out everyday for 4 weeks (sans Sundays) and eaten 1200 cals/day and I've lost 0 weight. Yay. (If you didn't read the post, I just found out a few months ago I have a thyroid problem)

Valentines Day is coming up! I'm so excited. I love Valentines Day!! I think I will try to make something like this for my kid's lunches this year, they would LOVE it!!




Bye!
