This Christmas was wonderful...full of special times with family and friends! I wanted to make something special for Christmas gifts this year. The grandparents and special friends are getting harder to buy for! They either have everything I can't afford or I don't want to buy what I can afford! So, as I started on this journey I was inspired to buy a few unfinished wood pieces. As I began to think about what I could do, pictures of the kids came to mind. I didn't want to ruin any good pictures so I decided to just print them from the computer. As I kept going with this thought it just all came together. The kids painted the wood. We found a cute tray for grandma, a closable box for Granny and Nana Pat. I used a circular piece for Nanny. I collected some pictures when they were younger to the present. I wasn't so sure about the "mod-podge" at first. I had some air bubles and was just praying all the pics wouldn't be smudged. They were awesome. A priceless gift for just a little effort!
I made rectangled wood signs for some friends. Some were sports related, others quoted great scriptures! I will continue this throughout the year. Thank you, God for the inspiration!!!
