Crafty Christmas

I decided to make some Christmas gifts this year and I have been excited to post about my projects, but figured I should wait until after Christmas. (I may even have a project or two to post about later since they have not been gifted yet...)

I gave a bunch of mixes in jars, including this s'mores mix (sorry, the picture's kinda blurry). It looked really cute in the jar, but seemed a little suspect so I made a few batches. It was so good! I'll definitely be making that again. The mixes weren't as easy or cheap (for some reason I always think, 'if I make it, it will be FREE!' but it's really not - duh) as I thought they be, but I love how they came out. Totally worth it.


I made superhero cape for Zak, with much help from my mom - thanks Mom! I'm dying to make one for Cooper, but I think he's probably still a little young. I love how this turned out, & it's reversible!



Zak wearing his new cape (oops, it's a little too long)...


and Caycee trying it on too...


She's probably still a little young, but I couldn't resist - I made a tutu skirt for Caycee. Here it is on an unnamed model:


I found a feather boa, angel wings (they came with a halo headband!), and a magic wand for a whole dress up set. Here it is all packaged up:


Caycee even tried it on (not that we gave her much of a choice)...
