Holiday Wreaths

Just wanted to share some wreaths that I made. I'm so excited to use them this fall and Christmas!

For every burn to the fingers with the Hot Glue Gun we got a cookie.......I won't tell you how many cookies I got! But I think there were a few others that had quite a few cookies too! OUCH! ;)

I do not take credit for the design/idea of these wreaths...just that I made these two.

Halloween Table Topper

I bought this fabric a year ago and finally made my table topper!

Kitchen Bunny

I Love making these.  These Kitchen Bunnies are some I made and shared with the ladies that I Visit Teach.

I attached the following poem to go with them:

I'm your Kitchen Bunny

Here to brighten your day.

When you tire of me

and want to give me away,

Untie my ribbons

and then we can play!

I also like to add a little treat..like a small bag of jelly beans for the bunny to hold or some kitchen utensils like a whisk or wooden spoon.

Homemade Valentine's

I Love how these turned out!  Yes, it took A LOT more time than just purchasing already made Valentine cards, but it was fun putting these together with the kids.  And thanks to Dad/Jim for helping out.  He always makes things go a little smoother.
Jim's mom does this fun craft/card idea with the kids when we are camping.  We decided to do it with our Valentine Cards.

To make your own tie-died paper:
Cut cardstock to the size you want.  Spread a layer of shaving cream (1/2"-1" thick) on a paper plate/pie tin/cookie sheet, whatever will be big enough for your paper.  Then drop 3-4 drops of food coloring (per 6" square area) across the top of the shaving cream.  Use a popcicle stick and make zigzags through the shaving cream...creating designs with the food coloring.  Press paper face down on shaving cream.  Lift paper up.  Scrape off shaving cream and TA DA!  COOL DESIGN.
We used latex gloves to keep our hands from being colored.  We glued a matching solid color on the back and the kids wrote their Valentine's message on the back.

HURRAY!  4 KIDS NEEDING VALENTINE'S!  ALL VALENTINE'S ARE DONE!  Now to make the treats for their parties!
