baby a

Here is another simple and sweet decoration I made for the babies party this weekend.  His first name starts with the letter A so we always call him Baby A. I knew I wanted to use that for some sort of  decoration at his party.  You can buy paper mache letters at Joann Fabrics in different sizes.  I used some for my parents surprise anniversary picnic that you can see here.  I used gold glitter on them and had planned to use white glitter on the A, but I didn't like how it looked on the brown background.   Instead I just wrapped the entire letter with some white yarn that I had in the house and I like it even better than the glitter!  I love when that happens.  Now if only if I could make it snow this weekend in Connecticut......

that's a wrap

This gift really is "that's a wrap"!  For Christmas I gave my sister-in-law a monogrammed canvas bag filled with fun wrapping supplies.  I included some wrapping paper, tissue paper, tiny clothespins, paper bags, boxes, and some personalized ribbon.  This was such a fun gift to put together and my sister-in-law told me that it was the best gift I had ever given her!  I'll definitely be using this idea again.
