Traditions

We have a few Holiday traditions that I love!

We always make snow flakes…..

We always make glass candy HERE is my recipe!

I try to have my son make some Christmas cards. He used his thumb print to make these.

And of course we make gingerbread houses (although we actually use graham crackers lol)

I hope your Holidays are happy and filled with the best of memories!

Frost

We have been living in a winter wonder land for a while now but this morning I must say that the frost was stunning.

This frost was actually on the antennae of  my car

Tile Magnets

I was so excited about the gifts that I made for some of my friends this year.

I used these cute tiles that I found at Home Depot and cut out some fun vinyl shapes with my Cricut and  then I attached a round strong magnet to the back. How easy is that!!

Then I found this fantastic pattern for a pyramid box that I thought could resemble a Christmas tree. I love how they turned out !

Our Advent Calendar

This year we were given a fantastic early Christmas gift from my mother in law, it was this gorgeous advent calendar.

In the years past we have used the classed cardboard advent calendar but now we get to start a new tradition and it has added so much to our home this year.

My mother in law got the board from The Craft Warehouse and added some of the lettering with vinyl then made the Holiday magnets with paper and hot glue :)

I love it and smile at it every time I walk by it!! 

A cute gift and Christmas cards 2010

I was so excited to deliver these holiday gifts for my latest work project. I had a local bakery/cafe make their decadent specialty cookies and packaged them by the dozen in these cute little jars….

I am also ready to share with you how my Christmas cards turned out this year :)
