Merry Christmas!

So it's Christmas Eve and I feel pretty accomplished this holiday season! I still have 3 more gifts to make but because of the incoming ice storm I don't have to have them done by tomorrow morning. So I'm spending my afternoon surfing the web for project ideas and spending time with my husband and his children. It's truly a great day!

Christmas Cards 2009

First year I've handmade all my Christmas cards!! I think they turned out good and look forward to improving my card making skills.

Plate for Dad & Step Mom - Christmas 2009

I etched this dollar store plate. This was actually my first etching project ever. I think it turned out great. The other 3 plates I tried after this one are in the trash. :)

Candle for my Sister-in-Law - Christmas 2009

I made 3 different candles this year for Christmas by etching them and adding a few embellishments. This one turned out the best but still needs work. I just can't seem to get my etching dark enough.

Recipe Boxes for Step Daughters

These were fun but I couldn't get my creative mojo going. I think they turned out ok. I wish I had other colors for vinyl but I will in the future. Maybe I'll have to re-do them in the future for them. :)

Step Daughters' (Age 10 & 11) Cooking Paint Bucket - Christmas 2009 Project

I love this project! This was so much fun to do once I got started.
