Christmas Time, Family Time

~ Hi There ~ 

We are still in celebration mode here at our house thru the New Year. What a blessing my DH and daughter and family could get the time off from work. We always cherish this time together :)

Here are a few highlights from our Christmas and our yearly Christmas PJ photo shoot. This time we decided to have the beach as our back drop! It was awesome!

And here are a few more HANDMADE ORNAMENTS gifted to me by some of my VERY talented CRAFTY FRIENDS over the years! They hang on my tree every year!

Merry Christmas 2011

WEEK 25: Madeit Myself Monday, CHRISTMAS 2011

~ Hi Everyone ~

Continuing on with my "HAND MADE ORNAMENT" SHOW and TELL...Here is another one of my FAVORITES! It had MANY small pieces to cut out! My fingers got very close to that SCROLL SAW blade, but luckily I still have all my digits! LOL! 

And below is another FUN PROJECT. The letters were stenciled, but now with the CRICUT, it would be so much easier to cut the letters our of vinyl, don't you think!
