Made With Loving Hand
December 27, 2010
Okay warning braggy mom alert!! My girls choose this year to make almost all their gifts for Christmas. I had no idea what they were making (I just supply what I am told is needed) and I was sooo impressed with what they made. I had to share. They made me silhouettes.
Chloe sewed Auberne`, Kirby from Nintendo. He is soo dang cute.
Auberne` made everyone little birds nests. Acorns caps filled with moss and little blue beads. Charming!!
Chloe made me a blinged out Christmas tree on burlap, LOVE it but we need to glitter the frame ;-)
Auberne` made her sis a cassette necklace and earrings. She cut purple cardboard to look like a guitar pick, found blue soda tabs and added a rhinestone. So clever!!
This is Henry, the Christmas Bacon. Auberne` made him for her dad. His even has his own song Chloe sang (sung to the tune of Santa Baby)
Santa bacon, please hurry up and cook yourself for me, oh please!!!
You know I like you nice and crispy,
Santa Bacon, so hurry up and cook for me!!!
Henry made us all laugh, we loved him. Well done girls, I am soo impressed and proud of you. Love Mom
I have a daughter who loves Kirby. She will like the Kirby your daughter made. She got a plush toy of Kirby for Christmas and then tried to convince people that he made the loaf of bread that was actually MY first homemade bread. You can see pictures of his antics on my blog. Kelsey loves her stuffed animals!

I see the creative apples didn't fall far from the creative apple tree. What sweet girls you have and so clever. Love the bacon song. I'll have to sing it for my husband and niece - the bacon lovers at our house. What a joyous Christmas!
Happy New Year to you and yours!

Oh my goodness! What clever young ladies, and I love their sense of humor. My favorites are the silhouettes. You will always treasure those. I'm impresses with how much they really do look just like them.

Talented girls! They seem to be following in their mama's footsteps!

Adorable! What clever young women you have! Of course, I know where they got it!
I think they should put together an e-book of their craft ideas... Just saying..

Clarice,
Awesome work girls! There is nothing, NOTHING I love more than a home made gift. Does that mean I'm getting old? LOL I got an amazing one myself this year. I'm going to blog about it soon. Love those silhouettes too. Think that is what brought you & I together in the beginning, your banner & my love of it. BTW, our dinner was wonderful thanks in part to your help. That pancake thing (I'm a hick, can't pronounce galette) It was so savory & delicious, defiantly a keeper.
