Visting Teaching Ideas

These are what I made my ladies this year.

Santa cookie plate

This was my friend, Jade's idea. Such a fun new tradition we will be testing out in our little family on Christmas eve. I am not sure what font this is, she cut it out on her new silloute cameo.

frame wreaths

So me and you younger sister made my grandmother a frame wreath for her door and it turned out pretty cute, so then I wanted one and my sister did to. So we bought our frames at a thrift store, I think they where 50 cents each. Spray painted them, wired them together, stapled the ribbon with the balls, and bulbs to the frames, and I cut out a quick little piece of wood for the Merry Christmas, painted and vinyled those. Mine is the red and green and my little sis did the blue and white. It was a crazy day shopping and thrifting and crafting and taking care of my kiddos during the process. I am soooo glad I have my younger sister and just wish my older one was closer by!

O christmas Tree Decorations

This year I thought I had better make our family some new Christmas tree decorations due to, my little ONE year old. See the ornaments I had before this were homemade cinnamon ornaments made of cinnamon and glue. Now I can just see my little man getting hungry and taking a big bite out of those. So i decided this year wood ornaments with strong wire would be the way to go. Lets just say they have survived 10 days. YAY SUCCESS! To make the word ones I just got a board any board will do and start chopping no need to waste your precious time messuring just eye ball it about the same size or at least that is what i did! Then I just cut out my vinyl using sure cuts alot and sized the words to fit the smallest of my not so perfect blocks. Hey that way you know if it fits the smallest one then they will fit the biggers ones too! haha I am so perfesional. and the snowman ornaments I used a canning jar ring to be my template as my circle and the noses just draw triangles. YOUR SET FROM THERE!

my new picture frame

Okay I am in LOVE with this, probly because it holds a picture of the two cutest kiddos out here.

JOY

HELLO ALL! I made this about 2 weeks ago. The font I used for the J & Y was A&S Bone Casual. I just went on word perfect selected the font typed a J and highlighted it and in the font size thing at the top I typed 550 (yes that is one big size) hit tab and it blows it up for you. Hope that makes sense but thats how I got the pattern for the J and Y, and then I bought the bell at dollar tree for a buck. Just wondering but how do you all like my ashes all around my JOY! perhaps I should dust that off.
