Christmas Fun!

Well, we are cruising into Christmas weekend, and I am REALLY tired of sewing! Whose bright idea was it to make all of this handmade stuff anyway?!??! :) I have made three trips to Joann's already, BUT, I am on the last project, then it is time to wrap it ALL! It should be wrapped for approximately 24 hours. Yay.

I managed to get the boys presents all wrapped before they were out of school, hence avoiding the need to lock myself in my bedroom for two + hours...seems things always go BANANAS when I do so, so am happy to prevent that!


I had a TON of fun using the Cricut to make fun tags for their gifts...I know, I know...a little over the top, but hey.


These are their P.J.'s to open on Christmas Eve...
For the professional sleeper in the house:

I also used just their initials to label some others:

Martha Stewart, EAT your HEART out. Oh. YAH.

Have also had a ton of fun scrounging through my Grandma's old Christmas decor and using her old vintage ornaments to decorate with...YES, Mother, you are vintage...(she says these aren't old...they are the ones they used when she was a kid)!!


I love the look of these old ornaments:

Can't forget our AWESOME pieced together in random Goodwill fashion village!
AND, the only real tree out of the six we have up:
OK. Must go finish final two presents. Would love to share pictures, but don't want to give away any suprises. Next time! Also, I have to show you some of the crafts the kids and I fit in this week around all of my sewing!!

Wishing you all a WONDERFUL, Christ filled holiday!
