It's Been A LONG Time ;)

Hello everyone! Wow! I posted once and had every intention of at least getting on weekly but we see how that turned out. Anywho! I wanted to share with you some of the things I've been working on. So I decided, since we didn't have a lot of money I would make gifts for everyone this year. I was actually pretty excited about it! Let me say that I L-O-V-E pinterest! I get an idea from there and tweak it to make my own. It's so much fun. This year I made some things off of pinterest but also created some of my own things. I still have a lot of practice that needs to be done but the more I create the better I will get right?!?

Let me share a couple of things I have made recently. This first one was for my nieces who are 1 and 4. I knew that the 4 year old would get way more out of it but the 1 year old could play with mommy and daddy's help. (I hope they get into it too!!!)







I cut out the Mickey Mouse head and then attached pictures on it and around the sides. 

  
My nieces were so excited to see Mickey Mouse on something I made for them!  The coolest part you ask...What is inside!!!!  Inside I made some snowballs out of yarn and put this little card inside to explain how to use it.  After my four year old niece opened all her presents, she got out the snowballs and started attacking me with them.  It was so much fun and I could tell that she really loved her gift!  Score one for Auntie!  :) 



I came up with the Snowball Fight card all by myself :)

Next I made something for my two older nieces.  I don't think that they were as excited about their gifts as my younger niece was.  I was a little disappointed but what do I expect from teenage girls.  Anyway!  Here are their gifts. 



Kaitlyn loves cheetah print so the letters are that.  There are set on sparkly black cardstock that I got on sale at Joann Fabrics!  I think it turned out great! 



Brena isn't her real name but it's the nickname she has had as long as I can remember.  She told me if I made anything using her name to make sure it was Brena.  Her letters are zebra stripes since that is what she likes and the sparkly black cardstock.  I had fun making them for sure!
