I want to share some of the crafts I made for Christmas gifts. I did share them before because the recipients sometimes read my blog and I didn’t want to ruin the surprise. So here is my first craft:
Memory Board
I made this memory board for my sister Keira. I used a piece of foam board, fabric, ribbon, buttons, batting, and a frame to make this.
I have been so busy for the past week that I really didn’t have a lot of time to go online. My son can now open his own toy store with all the toys he received and we told everyone not to buy him toys because he already had too many that we have no place to put them! I thought that would reduce the amount of toys received (I knew that they would buy him toys anyway) but he got more toys this year then the last two years combined! I guess that is because my family hasn’t seen him since he was 11 months old (now he is 28 months). I just hope we can fit it all in the car!

I haven’t been posting a lot. I’ve been very busy making Christmas gifts which I will share with you what I made after I have given out all the gifts. I haven’t been doing a lot of designing either but right after Christmas I plan on doing as much designing as possible since I will be visiting family a lot I not sure how much I will get done. We are going to be driving to NH but I will be bring my laptop along and have internet access the entire time (everyone in my family has wireless internet, yeah!).
I’m also going back to school on Jan 7. I want to get my MBA. I am doing it online at UMUC. I have BIG plans ahead for me that will require me to have some business knowledge so getting a MBA will be great.
Still trying to sell my house. We’ve received a foreclosure notice even though they are not suppose to foreclose on us until they’ve heard whether or not we can defer our VA Loan. To many communication problems between the mortgage company and the VA.
One good thing is everyone is healthy again. I am finally over my cold, ear infection, and bronchitis which all started before Thanksgiving. My son also had a cold and ear infection.
I hope everyone has a very merry holiday!
