My Recent Attempts at Craftiness

For Christmas, I decided to make my missionary brother a scrapbook of our family. There's not many things you are allowed to send to missionaries for the holidays, but family pictures are always welcome. It sounded like a great idea back in early November, but needless to say, I am a procrastinator and did not finish the project by Christmas. Somehow, I don't think my brother will mind. This is what I've been spending all my time on.



All the scrapbooking got my creative side going, and I felt like doing something else fun. I saw a few decorated candles somewhere, so I decided to dress up some of my own. The finished product...

    Wow I am always impressed at how artistic you are. I also am loving this weather, my family keeps asking if they can come play because it is still freezing and snowing back home.

    I love that scrapbook idea. Did you create that shape or did you buy it? I am a scrapbooking wannabee........I do it but have very little creativity. I have to ask Kalie to help me with decorations when she comes to visit, or I just plagarize from someone's else's pictures.
    Whatever works, right?
