When I woke up this morning it was -13 degrees.  I decided it would be a great day to stay home and get some fun Christmas treats made.  Abby wanted some treats to give her friends.  She filled the bags with M&M’s while I worked on the Moose toppers.

Stampin Up Nugget Snowmen made with the Snow Place stamp set , created by demo Beth McCullough. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

This is what we made for Abby’s friends last year.  They loved them!  This is also my most popular Pinterest pin of all time!

Keegan and I went to Willy Wonka at the Des Moines Playhouse last night.  It was an awesome show and I love having a date night with my 16 year old.

Sean and Ryan are in Hawaii for a week.  This is their first vacation without our family.  The first thing they figured out was it’s very expensive to go on vacation and especially to Hawaii!  While in college they always chose to go with us instead of their friends, because we pay if they go with us and they pay if they go with friends.  Sean is funding most of this vacation for both of them because Ryan is a poor college student.  I’ll be glad when they get home safely!

Merry Christmas!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

 

Letters and Textures & Shapes (Oh, My!)

Today’s Craft Project Central project is designed by Buffy Cooper.
Keeping small children entertained during the cold winter months when they can’t go outside can be a challenge. With this tutorial, you’ll use the Stitched Shapes and Large Letters Framelits to create “puzzle letters” that your children can use to make words and play matching games. The Gift Box Punch Board box doubles as a container for the letters and can be another sorting game. Customize the box and tag with your child’s initial, and you have a fun gift for a snowy day.

 

If you would like to see the complete project, and learn how to make it, you’ll want to subscribe for the month of December. With your subscription, you’ll get illustrated, step-by-step instructions for 10 wonderful projects for only $10! You can find out how to gain access to a bonus eleventh project over at Craft Project Central.

It’s freezing cold in Iowa today.  I hope it’s warm where you are.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Even Superman needs a rest every now and then!  Here’s Steve and our pups in the new Sunroom.  I think we should rename it the sleeping room.  It’s a great place to take a nap.  Molly is our pup in purple under Steve’s hand.  She’s my dog that follows me everywhere I go in the house.  Maya is our pup in red who is the family dog.  She loves everyone, but likes to do her own thing and doesn’t feel the need to follow anyone.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
