I have to say, it's very difficult to share all the projects I've been working on for the last several months without pictures! It's not as fun to read either I know!
We still don't have a camera and I have to say...I really would like to get this one fixed or another one (they're so cheap now!) before this baby is due!!
Oh well! Here's a quick list of many of the projects I've finished:
3 book bags, one for each little one and several garage sale find books to put in them
A stamp book for each with 12 Library Dates with their dad
Grandparent's scrapbook pages (one per kid) for their (grandparent's) albums (6 8x8 pages total)
One apron is finished (2 more to make)
Golden Plates journal - ok this one I will have to post about after I get some pictures - this one was inspired, I LOVE it!
Altered first inital for each kid - marker for their stocking who's perm location will be marking their cubbie hole.
A small 4x6 album of their name with definition, picture, scripture and space for more learning about themselves and their connection to Heaven
Repaired an antique rolling pin
3-4x6 Personalized cookbooks with stamp pages for 12 cooking times with Mommy
About 80 crayon race cars (melted and poured into candy molds) to give to friends etc
Currently I'm working on:
More aprons & Bibs
Some jar mixes
Thanksgiving Cards (instead of Christmas cards!)
More Golden Plates so everyone in our little (growing) family has one
Some candles - these I want to blog about too when I get pictures, I think they're going to be touching
And some pj pants
Then comes the wrapping paper the kids have been painting
The gifts I want to wrap real nice and creative like...hmm we'll see if that happens
Gotta get oranges and some candy. I haven't started making candy and loads of cookies for Christmas yet, and it's definitly going to wait for another year! LOL
I did tons of garage sale shopping with and without a list and got some GREAT things. Much of what I've made I already had the supplies for. I have been SO blessed with what I've been able to make and do at such a small cost. And yes, I did get some things for myself that I have stored in a box for my hubby to use. I can't help it! Why spend $30 on something that I found for $3 at a garage sale! I'll just forget it's in there :) In the past he hasn't liked that I do this so maybe Santa will be giving me that box o' fun. LOL!
Ok so off I go to dessert the kids, brush teeth, prayer and roll them into bed so I can work on presents!!
Merry Christmas!
