frosty the snowman

These are the ornaments we made yesterday at my daughter's holiday party at school.  They came out so cute!  They are painted on a mini art canvas that I found at Joann Fabrics.  The kids used their fingerprints to make the bodies for the snowman and then toothpicks to add the details.  We used a glue gun to attach the ribbon hanger. You can find more detailed instructions here.

My husband and I agreed not to give each other gifts this year.  Instead I decided to make him something.  I saw this ornament on pinterest and knew it would be perfect.  Basically you just take your wedding invitation and cut it into strips and put them inside of a clear glass ornament.  You can find more detailed directions here.  (This would also be darling with a baby announcement inside for a baby born near the holidays)  I also found some chocolates shaped like taxi cabs because our first kiss was in a taxi!  Just a little something at Christmas to remind him how much I love him.
