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!
