more neighborhood gifts



I forgot to add the glitter, which is an essential step, so I had to show you a picture of the final thing :) (above picture)

Well, as I mentioned before I had made over a thousand gift tags with my friend, since some of our neighbors overlapped, I made some other gifts too, I thought these were delicious candy bars!

For My SIL




I found a templeate for these ADORABLE shoes and had to make them for my SIL who is about to have a baby. I adapted it by putting eyelets in them. I made her the birhtday card too, which I made with my cricut. it took forever to get the frame cut out, it kept ripping in the machine b/c the paper was thin I think. I can't wait to make some more little shoes...girl shoes for those I know having girls!

What I've been making this Christmas season





For our Super Saturday activity for our women's night at my church, my friend and I selected cards and made them. Then if any of the ladies wanted to make them too, we showed them how to. In addition with the card set above, we also made a set of all occasion cards. We ended up having 24 sets of cards ordered, which mean that my friend and I ended up making 312 cards, since we cut all the paper and put them into kits. It was extremely hard work, and not something I'm willing to do again. (You live and learn ladies) Next time, if there is a next time, they can bring their own stuff and just use my embossing machine :) I haven't been able to take a picture of the all occasion cards yet, so when I get that done, I'll post them. I never did get to take a picture of the literally THOUSANDS of Christmas tags I made as neighbor gifts...maybe I can scrounge up some extras to show you how the tags looked. I put them in a cute little box with red and green yarn wrapped around the box to use to tie the gifts with.
