This is what I'm doing late at night while the family is sleeping.

and Trendy Twines Peppermint Twist twine.

The things we do for our children and the wonderful teachers that guide them. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a fantastic day!

Snowman Christmas Tree

I was inspired by a pin on Pinterest to make this adorable snowman tree. Isn't he just the cutest thing?

He stands 3 feet tall and is made from a prelite white tree, glass ornaments filled by my Children with curled black cardstock paper make his buttons, Glittered branches for his arms, 2 My Creative Time Stitched Lollippop holders make his bow tie and the cutest snowman head my Mother in Law found at Big Lots.

I love his smile!

This is a close up of the bow tie I made from 2 My Creative Time Stitched Lollipop holder dies. I may add white stitching to it but I couldn't wait to see it on and share it with all of you! I hope you love my tree as much as we do. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a very Merry Day!

Advent Activity Calendar

Welcome to the First day of December and the official start to the Holidays, at least for my family! 

This year to kick off the season I decided to make an advent calendar; however, since I have 3 children and I didn't want them fighting over the sweet treat for each day, I made our calendar an activity based project. I found a few examples on Pinterest and then came up with the following list of things to do with the kiddos.

List of Festive Family Activities:

Decorate for Christmas 

Write a letter to Santa 

Take a Family Christmas picture 

Read a Christmas Story at bedtime 

Do something nice for a sibling 

Make paper snowflakes 

Sing Christmas songs all day 

Donate toy you don’t play with anymore 

Make a craft with Mom 

Cook dinner together as a family 

Family Christmas movie night 

Make snowman soup 

Make Christmas cards for your Grandparents 

Eat Dessert first at dinnertime 

Spread holiday cheer to friends 

Make a gift for someone special 

Bake and Decorate cookies 

Color Christmas pictures 

Have a campout by the Christmas tree 

Have lunch somewhere special 

See some snow with family 

Drive around and look at Holiday lights 

Sing and dance to Christmas Carols 

Wear new Christmas pajamas to bed 

Spend the day with family, Merry Christmas!!

I then made 25 envelopes, matting them and adding a date label.

I then made a box to hold all the envelopes and decorated it with coordinating supplies.

The daily cards followed next with their own matting but these are not dated so they can be mixed up or change over the years if need be. 

I am so very happy with how this project turned out. It's going to be fun to see how the kids react to the daily activities we have planned. Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!
