More Christmas gifts

Think I am finally done making gifts!  Whew...lol I was a little worried there for a moment that there wasn't going to be enough time in the day to make what I needed to get done.  But thankfully it's all finished and all in all I am pretty happy with the way things turned out.  I did 13 double walled glasses w/straws for Rick's/our Davita family.  24 Redneck wine glasses for Rick's and my family memebers.  Another 6 Double walled glasses w/straws, 2 coffee mugs, and 2 water bottles for Rick's side of the family!  It has been a busy few days!  TFL

Boise State Bronco Gift set

Rick's Cousin and his family are huge Boise State Bronco fans. So, I did this gift set for them for Christmas, and even got lucky enough to find some Boise State Bronco Tortilla chips to throw in as well! TFL

More teacher gifts

My grand kids needed a quick gift for their teachers so I did these cups with the schools mascot on one side and the teachers names on the other. I am happy how they turned out for being a quick project. I filled them with a variety of drink mixes and then made little flags to slide onto the straw that say, "Thank you for quenching my thirst of knowledge". tfl

Teacher Gifts

My youngest grand daughter is in head start and she has 4 teachers...lucky grammy got to make the gifts for them lol. I bought two really cute melamine plate and bowls that matched at the dollar store. turned the bowls upside down, glued them to the bottom of the plate and had an instant cookie serving tray to which we added Christmas colored oreos (red) then wrapped them in some cute plastic gift bags and tied them with a personalized ornament for each teacher. quick easy and fun...but then, I was informed that she has two main teachers but that she has 4 teachers in her room daily...lol so back to the store I go for two more sets only they didn't have any more that matched...they had the bowls.. no plates.. I was freaking out wondering what I could do.. I ventured over to the regular dish area and found two plates that kinda sorta matched, they had red, green and blue stripes around the rim with a white center. They actually looked just as cute, but evidently I didn't take a pic of them before sending them out. tfl

Dog Treat Jar

I originally bought this jar for my ex husband because he has a huge stash of candy that he always has on hand for the grand kids, but has nothing to keep it in. I was going to vinyl it up with some little saying about Poppa's treats, but then he calls me and says that he bought a jar to keep his candies in.. .I was like..oh you did? lol and turns out it is idential to the jar I got...sooooo I thought ok, I'll just vinyl it for his dog instead as he keeps almost as many treats on hand for her as he does the grands! Anyway this is how it turned out. tfl.

Christmas for Barbie

Coby decided to turn the attic of the barbie house he made for his sisters into a Christmas setting.  A fantastic artist, seamstress and miniatures artisan gave Coby a Christmas tree that was in 1/6 scale (barbie's scale) along with several sets of clothes that she had made quite some time back.  Coby decided to make a bead garland for the tree and wrap the barbie clothes for the girls and place them under the tree so that when they open their present, each of them will have two more presents to open that contain 4 barbie outfits.  What a great idea, a present inside the present!  Am so excited for the girls to be able to open their gift on Christmas morning.  It's going to be a very exciting Christmas. You can't see it but there is a beautiful golden handmade Star of David that adorns the top of his beautiful little Christmas tree!  Thank you Cheryl Empson for helping to make Coby's gift to his sisters even more special!

On another note, I have so so many posts to make, but unfortunately they are all about the Christmas gifts that I handcrafted this year for my family, freinds and Davita Family.  Once they are all given out, I will have alot to blog about :)  Until then, Here's wishing you and your's a very Merry Christmas and an even bigger and Brighter New Year!

Kitchen Completed

Doll house is finished, and Coby and I finally got the kitchen done.  The bathroom pieces are in the oven baking as I write this... will blog about it after they are out, cooled and place in the bathroom.
We printed off a 3D stove and refrigerator onto some heavy yellow cardstock with black printing and placed them in the Kitchen.  We made the kitchen table from a bevel edged octagonal mirror glued (E6000) to a crystal candlestick for the base of the table.  It turned out quite pretty.  For the chairs, we used the ends of a wire hanger, snipped off and bent into the shape of a chair.  For the seat and chair back, we used heavy duty cardboard wrapped in white naugahyde. (fake leather)  They turned out so cute.  We liked the second pic because it caught the lights of our tree in the reflection.  Not may days left until Christmas, but I think we're going to make it!  TFL
