Valentine's for card exchange

These are Valentine's cards I made for my card exchange group. They are not fancy, but I love my little cupid guy :)

Mackenzie's Baby Dolls

I must confess these are NOT a recent craft, but as I was trolling through a bajillion pictures the other day I came across these dolls that I made for Mackenzie when she was 18 months old. They turned out so cute I thought I would share. She is required to keep these forever until the end of time.


Crayon Rolls

We sat behind someone in church who had some of these for her kids and I though "Hey, I can do that!" So I did!

Teacher gift/class projects

Mackenzie came home from her first grade class and taught us how to make these 3-D snowflakes. Talk about fancy! Helena, you need to try these, they look so cool!

I offered to do a craft with Kennedy's class at school, so I had them decorate thumb prints for their teacher and teacher aide. Then Kennedy gave them to them on a white clipboard so they can hang them up. I think they turned out really cute! Thanks for the idea Nikki!






Calendar Pages

I did calendars for the Grandparents again this year, and these are a few of my favorite pages.

Christmas Crafties

I decided it's definitely time to update my craft blog. So here are some Christmas projects from this year. The Christmas countdown blocks were a project I did at SuperSaturday. I made some for everyone for Christmas. I am officially mod podged out now. (Hey Helena, I used Mod Podge!)

Ho Ho Ho blocks also from SuperSat. Also using Mod Podge.

These were so fun to make that instead of making the 3-4 I planned on, I made 8. In various colors. But the black and white is my favorite.

My niece Hannah has her own room now at Brad's house, so I made her a fancy name sign. It was fun to make. Not so fun to ship, but hopefully she will like it :)






This is my favorite part of Christmas. Again, I can't take credit for the idea. Thank you Family Fun magazine for the idea in 2001. We love seeing the girls teensy little handprints from years past. So fun.

Katie's birthday cake. Yeah, okay, so it wasn't fancy. But the frosting tasted fantastic!


Cake made for YW activity. I stressed over this for a full day. It sure doesn't look like I spent a whole day on it, does it. Oh well. Whatever.

Katie also made a cake for YW program. Hers is fancier. Brat.
