Saying Good-Bye to Richie
I can’t believe today is Christmas Eve! We have had such a wonderful time with our Elf, Richie! On Christmas Eve Day Richie gets an extra dose of Magic so we can hold him before he leaves. We look forward to this day. Richie was in Sally’s arms all day long. As we said good night to Richie tonight, we all had tears in our eyes as it will be an entire year until we see him again. He is Magical and our house is filled with Magic every day he is here.
Deer Garland
I tied them to some jute then got out the box of vintage lace and burlap and kept tying until it was full! I love it 🙂
Elf TP
Our Elf brought SNOW!
It took us a long time to find Richie this morning! We found him in the freezer with a little dish of snow and snowballs! Where ever did he find snow in Southern California? He must have brought it from the North Pole!
My kids were extremely excited – Sally has only seen snow once in her life. The snow was a little bit icy so we did our best making a snowman….those of you with lots of snow in your front yard – don’t make fun of us 🙂
Frozen Sketch Book Case
My 14 year old and her friends are obsessed with the Frozen movie! They have seen it 3 times, they spend all their time drawing images from the movie and listen to the songs over and over. For Christmas I thought it would be cute to get them each a new sketch book and make a case for it out of Frozen fabric. I am not big into “Character” fabric, but I really liked this print.
I used my Coupon Pouch Tutorial and changed the dimensions to 26″ x 15″. Everything else is exactly the same!
They freaked out when they opened them today!
