Christmas Tree Skirt (12/05/07)

I thought I'd share my easy Christmas tree skirt idea.  I found this round tablecloth on clearance one year after Christmas.  I cut a circle in the center and now use it as my tree skirt.  See the diagram below and cut along the red line.  You could sew the cut edges but I didn't.  I also purchased a rectangle tablecloth that I sewed into two table runners to match.  Very easy!

 

Fall Table Decoration (10/11/07)

 

I'm not much of a decorator, but this is one of my favorite fall table decorations.  I just took a footed glass plate and put fall beads (I got on clearance from Target a few years ago) and some gourds I got from a local pumpkin patch on it.  It's quick, easy, and cute.

 

Halloween Trick or Treat Bags (09/23/07)

Here are two trick or treat bags I made for my kids to use this year.  I let them pick out their clipart images so they are very excited to use them.  You can purchase these bags in the craft section at the store.  You'll also need to purchase iron on transfer paper from the office supply section.  Design your bag on Photoshop or any other design software.  It is very important that you flip your design horizontally before you print it so it won't be backwards when you iron it on.  Then you print out your design on the iron on transfer paper and iron it on your bag according to the directions on your iron on transfer paper.  Very simple, inexpensive and cute!

 

Father's Day and Mother's Day (06/07)

For My husband and I and for our parents, we have our kids fill out this sheet.  It tells all the reasons they love us.  They also color the picture at the top.  I love to hear their answers and see how their coloring and signature changes from year to year.  We enjoy this much more than any store bought gift. 

Here are the sheets for each holiday that you can download.

Christmas Wish List (07/07)

At some point on Thanksgiving Day we end up looking at the sale adds for the next day.  Ella loves looking at the toys and telling us what she wants for Christmas.  I made a fun little Christmas list she can fill out and give to Santa.  I think it's cute and I put it in her notebook to keep.

Here is a copy of my Christmas list you can download.
