A book for my little girl

My toddler loves coming into my scrapbook room... it's the forbidden room.  So on the rare occassion that she's allowed in, she's always wanting to look at pictures and flip through scrapbooks.  I felt bad always telling her to leave things alone, so I created a "scrapbook" of her own. 

I found pictures of everyone in our family and a few of her friends and a 4x6 album I had lying around, put the pictures on some patterend paper, glued on the names and gave it to her. 

It was a big hit! She loves looking through the book and tells me who everyone is... it's not perfect, and certainly not elaborate, but she loves it and that's all the matters!

Here's just a few pages from the book:

 

A Changeable Wall Hanging

I'm back to blogland.  It's been a while, but I'm finally home from the holidays and have finally found some time to sit down and write this long awaited post.  Early in November I started a small project that ended up getting bigger and bigger!  Well, it's finally ended and I can now show you all!  (I know the anticipation is killing you!)

The idea came when I was browsing through some blogs and found this neat decor idea.  I thought it would be a great gift for Christmas and soon decided it would be perfect for my mom and mom-in-law.  The idea came from Dittle Dattle's Family Wall Hanging 

I started off with just the word family, but I started thinking and came up with an even better idea...  "What if I made a few words that could be changed through-out the year?!"  SO that is how my little project expanded into a bigger one. In the end I made two sets of three words and here they are:

I am so glad I finally got to share this with you!  Hope everyone had a great Christmas and I wish all the best to you in the New Year!
