Gingerbread Houses and Reindeer


Today has been a VERY eventful day, I finished the 2 treasure boxes for the giveaway and they are all packed up and ready to be shipped off tomorrow. Yay for Mandy and Carrie!! I love making them so much that if anyone wants to do a trade, I'll be more then happy to customize one for you. I would also like to say that I had a BLAST with this giveaway, I've already started shopping for my next one :D I am going to try and do one once a month or when I reach a certain amount of followers. They will all have their own theme as well. The next theme will be... SWEET TREATS!!! So anything that has cupcakes, candies, chocolates (etc) on it is fair game!! I will do another one once I reach 95 followers :D This one will be as big as my last one, if not BIGGER!!!!

I also went on another button shopping spree. I bought around 500ish buttons... hey I had an excuse, I needed them for my treasure boxes... Tonight I'm organizing them by color! fun fun! I got my embroidery kit in the mail, so excited to start that project next with Bri :D I also got the hat Mandy from Miss Indie made me, I'll post pics once I get the matching scarf. The hat is gorgeous by the way, I wish I could buy her entire shop!

This weekend Hayden decorated a gingerbread house, it turned out really cute. The only thing we did was put the sides up for him, he did the rest. My little artist :)


Tonight Joseph and Hayden decided to make a Lego reindeer to surprise me with. It turned out super cute! I was in serious painting mode when they placed it on the table. I thought it was so sweet I had to take pics :D



Off to watch Bruno with the Hubby


and eat the huge pile of chocolate covered pretzels we made together (while sorting buttons hehe)


Hope everyone started off their week great! Only 4 more days until Christmas!!!!!! So, anyone interested in a trade? Custom treasure box for something cute and fun :D
xoxo,
Lindsay

  6. I attempted to make a gingerbread house last year. It looked like it was a shack that got hit by an avalanche. Hayden's turned out great. :)
