Christmas Crafts

This year, I decided to be crafty.  Literally.  It all started when my sister-in-law, Shannon, and I wanted to start a monthly craft night with the Ogden sisters and sisters-in-law using my lovely Cricut machine.  This sprung me into doing a bunch of other crafts to decorate my apartment with, as well as making some of my Christmas gifts for people.  Here are some of the things I have done so far:


This is hanging above our front door. (And yes, I know mistletoe is really one word.)


I had to modge podge every letter on this plaque.  Yes, it took forever.


I know that this is normally a decoration you might see more around Christmas time, but I wanted to make this a decoration I could have around my house all year long.

 
These are some coasters I made out of travertine tiles and rub-ons.



And here are some more. :)

Oh my heck!,...these are ADORABLE! I love doing crafts! It brings a sense of satisfaction that it's something I made with my own two hands. =0)
