2015 Christmas Cards - Set #2

 Second batch of Christmas cards this year:

2015 Christmas Cards - Set #1

Finally found sometime over Thanksgiving weekend to get my Christmas cards done!  My friend Courtney came over and we had a crafting weekend.  I haven't done a lot of crafting, so it was nice to get all of my stamps and paper out!!!

I always make my own cards for Christmas, but this year they included a picture of our daughter Isabelle - almost a year old.  And, I was able to use my new Christmas stamp for the inside:

Here are all the cards I made - with a few close ups:

2015 - Christmas Craft Ornaments

 We spent Thanksgiving making some Christmas ornaments with the Smith family and Isabelle.  

And we made some for the puppies!

We used the instructions on this website: http://www.craftymorning.com/salt-dough-puppy-paw-print-christmas-ornament/

Flower Sentiments

I started these a few months ago and finally got a chance to finish them up this weekend.  I used the same design in a bunch of different colors and added a variety of sentiments.  They were super easy and turned out really clean and simple!

I did mass production in our living room (which is finally back to normal!) and made a total of just over 350 of them!  I made a bunch of sets for wedding, Christmas, and Mother's Day gifts and have a ton left over for me to send out next year.

Fall Bonet

We're not quite sure who made this one, but it was one of my dad's relatives from Canada.  Isabelle had lots of fun wearing it this fall - especially at the Pumpkin Patch with mom and Grandma Michelle.

Hungry Caterpillar Magnet

Isabelle making at the library making "1000 Books Before Kindergarten" crafts with daddy.  Her favorite was a caterpillar magnet.

Lawn Blocks

Isabelle made her grandparents hand-print lawn blocks for Christmas this year. We did pretty good for a very squirmy baby!!!

Isabelle's Room

Animal cut-outs that I made for Isabelle's room when she was a baby:

Baptismal Gown

Isabelle was baptized on June 21, 2015.  She wore the gown that my Baba (Grandma) made for me and by brothers when we were baptized.  The blanket was also given to her by the St. Luke's Church in Waukesha where she was baptized.

Here is Isabelle with her Great-Baba and Gido!

We Made the Newspaper!!!

Baba's Blanket

Baby quilt at Baba & Gido's house that the cousins used when were were little.  Here is Isabelle playing on it with Gido.

Here is one of Isabelle's monthly monkey pictures when she was three months old.

ABC Sampler

Cross-stitch alphabet sampler that my mom made for me when I was born in 1988.  We took pictures with it when Isabelle was 2 months old.

We hung it in Isabelle's room when we first moved to Lomira.
