christmas cards, birthday card, and arctic diorama

9:19 PM

the Christmas season is always so busy. the buying gifts for family, teachers, baking goodies, tying up loose ends before semester break, etc...it just is just a very busy time right now.

here is a glimpse into just what we did, today.....

Avery and Olivia handed out their Christmas cards to their friends that I designed and had printed.



Avery's teacher has a birthday coming up, and we had a super fun idea to make a funny card (because we have, you know, all this spare time)...so we made this today...



And, Avery also has a science project due next week. She had to make a shoebox diorama of a habitat she was interested in, and she chose the arctic. Daddy had fun with styrofoam and a knife, and we finished up tonight. She got pretty creative!















It turned out cute, I think. She just loves it, and is so proud of it, so job well done by our family! :)

Now, back to baking, wrapping gifts, working, parenting, and all of the other busy-ness that life is right now! ;)

Christmas card display

8:00 PM



i saw an idea similar to this on a design blog earlier this year, and i couldn't wait for Christmas to come around to try it on my own! i searched our little town for a rickety old ladder, and I finally found one at an antique store. it's rather tall, about 8 feet I would suppose. I purchased some red yarn, and pounded some nails, and went to town and strung the yarn around the nails. then, i spray painted some clothespins green, and there ya have it! our very own Christmas card display, that i'm certain is very unique and different than most! ;)
