25 Days of Christmas Ornaments - Day 7


Homemade Ornaments - this week's theme for 25 Days of Christmas Ornaments

I'm sorry I didn't get this posted earlier, we were up to our elbows in gingerbread dough for a gingerbread house decorating party I'm hosting tomorrow.


I made this ornament when Sam was two out of scraps of felt. It was the year of Thomas the Train. Grizzly Gramps made him a train table that year and we bought him his first set of tracks. I will always remember watching his eyes light up when the train table appeared in the living room at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

If you want to design and make your own ornaments out of felt it's really quite easy. The felt is backed with card stock for stability and I used some tacky glue to assemble it. I can't remember where I scrounged up the 'steam' but it's holding up pretty well.

Don't forget that tomorrow is going to be a Blog Hop MckLinky so get your favorite homemade ornament ready to share! Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to get back to watching White Christmas. The trees are lit, a candle is burning, and I'm almost half way done baking five gingerbread houses. I'm going to work on some Christmas presents and then go to bed...Before Midnight. I have been waiting for this day for what feels like forever.

Goodnight!

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses !
