Beginning To Look A Little Like Christmas

The girls and I are working on some Christmas cheer around here.


Who loves helping mom?

I wanted to come up with a gift for Abbey's friends that she could actually help me make. Ashley from lil blue boo came through again (I love her blog!) We made almost 40 bean bags for Abs' buddies out of fabric scraps and food storage :)

Now off to bake/wrap/snuggle/deliver/sew/assemble some more Christmas goodness. This holiday is a lot of work!

OMG!! So cute! 40!? That is a ton! I love the double stitching you did. Thanks so much for linking ;) Great photos of the kiddos as always....still working on my photography....but is it still looking the same....

Finally! A use for all those beans in food storage. What a cute idea. Love Hayden's two bottom teeth :).

And once again, your craftiness puts me to shame.

I had to wrap a present the other day and realized I don't have these things - that's what mom's house is for. It was late at night on Saturday and I needed the gift for the next morning, so I cut up a gift bag and used the handles for the ribbon. It was... pathetic. You would have been embarrassed for me. It made me pine for your lovely gift wrapping skills.

Sounds pretty creative to me, Allison. Remember when Makenzie was about eight and made everyone split-pea bags? Her friend's family food storage was out of beans.:) What a great idea, not only to use up the scraps, but something a three-year old can actually help with.
