Then I assembled each box for a count of 12.
I add some cute embellishments and numbers from 1-12 to the front of each box.
I put a little surprise in each box so the grandchildren could count down the 12 days before Christmas.
Lots of fun for them and me !!!
I thing it could be fun to but little notes of surprise service they could give.
Hope you enjoy.

With the Big Kicks and a fun die  #657726 Score Boards from Sizzix along with some cute Christmas paper.
I made these little box's in no time.
I first cut out the box with a heavy chip board then with my cute paper.
I glued each cute paper on top of the chip board and let dry.

Big Kicks lots of FUN !!!

I am a bit behind on things so I am trying to get caught up on this blog for all of you.
I am so excited I received my Big Kick from Sizzix along with some very fun dies I will be showing you late. This little machine is such a great thing to add to your sewing and craft room.
I even had my little 4 year old grand son making thing with it, he love turning the handle.

 

I got my magnet / chalk board and peg done. YEA!!!
The most was my good husband hanging them up in my sewing/craft room. ( All I can say is I LOVE Them) !!!!
I hung the magnet board above my sewing machine so I can put the directions of what I am sewing in from of me.
These were so simple to do. I got the frames from Micheal's when they had a blow out sale for 10.00 each. YEA !!!
and then the metal  I got from home depot and washed it with vinegar and let dry after that I just sprayed painted it with the chalk paint.
I is nice to have things in sight.

Happy Birthday !!!

A fun quilt to celebrate the birthday for a girl or boy.

Making  traditions and fun memories by placing the birthday quilt on the sleeping birthday child.

What a fun way for them to awake and start the day of birthday wishes.

I also think it would be fun to add the birth-dates of each child by embroidering their names and birth-dates.

This pattern will be out next month.

Making  traditions and fun Memories... is a good thing.
