Hey Everyone,
I've had some requests to have a Craft Day...So...here goes...
I know it is a CRAZY time of year with all the fun and work of the holidays but I came up with something simple, super cute, and easy. I saw these last year and wanted to try them but just ran out of time. They are PICTURE ORNAMENTS. They are made out of a 2" by 3" wood blocks (which really means 1 3/4" by 2 1/2"). I made up 2 samples--one is an individual picture with the person's name on the back with the date (my example is of Cade--my cutie). It would be fabulous to do one of each family member!! The other is a family shot--it can say "family" or the family name (Damron's for example) on the back with the date. They turned out so cute!!
The other 2 ornaments in the pictures are ideas if you wanted to give a little something to your neighbor, teacher, VT/HT families, family members, etc. Same idea as the picture ornaments but just with words and darling paper that emphasizes the meaning of the words. There is a "merry" (ha, ha!!) idea of "Reindeer Games" in the traditional red and green with darling reindeer paper as well as a beautiful music oriented ornament of "O Holy Night" in cream and grey/black. (I'm happy to do something custom--just let me know)
I love to top presents with small, meaningful ornaments as an extra little touch--it is really a JOY! I also love to get handmade gifts--they are the BEST!! And, for you Grandmas out there--what a sweet gift to give your kids and grandkids. This also could be fun for our kids to do as well for their friends or teachers. Anyone is welcome to come and craft!!
*Now for the Details:
Each ornament is $1 (if you want me to make it for you, they will be $1.50). Money is due by next Friday, November 18. I will cut all the wood, sand and paint over the weekend or so.
*We will get together on the following dates:
Wednesday, November 23--from 10AM to 1PM (I know it is vacation week but we can look at it like a park day.) If the weather permits, we can do this date at Coyote Canyon park--the kids can play and we can craft on the tables. If bad weather, we will do it at my house.
Tuesday, November 29--from 8:30AM to 12:00PM We will be at my house.
Friday, December 2--from 8:30AM to 10AM and 8:00PM to 10PM We will be at my house.
Note: Pictures for the PICTURE ORNAMENTS need to be around 2 1/2" by 2 1/2". Close up shots will work best. I will supply everything else.
Let's Craft,
Dawn
