Last weekend we had our annual day of crafts!! The day was spent trying to be like Martha Stewart, watching Christmas movies, and cooking A LOT!! Although we all tapped into our little Martha, the day was spent mostly cursing at her (probably something she does not do). Debbi, Matt, and Tweedy spent the day in the kitchen (thankfully Tweedy spent her time in the kitchen cooking us breakfast---YAY for Tweedy!!!) The rest of us spent our time doing our little projects. Sam made a snowflake light out of rope lights, I gave up on that one after the first round. Tori spent her day sewing. Kim spent the day making a cupcake liner tree, which turned out a lot cuter than it sounds. Mike spent the day making a penguin wreath (made for ages 6 and up). Dayton and Mike did a side project of making root beer, which unfortunately will not be ready until New Years... that was disappointing to find out because we were all ready for root beer that day! Here is Tori's insane project... from the looks of it in this picture it looks very basic, but wait till its done... that will require a whole post in itself. Also lets take notice of the fabulous bangs!!! I love it!! Then there is good old beeze... crafts are not her forte and apparently neither is grating cheese. Deb definitely recruited the wrong girl for the job...lol. The picture of Sam is with her final project... she made four of them!! Major kudos to that, because they may look easy, but let me tell you... zip ties are not your friends!! As for me the picture below explains most of the day for me... I mostly watched the movies and then when I did decide to get ambitious I tried to finish Kim's craft from last year. Advice number one... never make a pom pom wreath. They may look cute and seem like a really great idea but its not. Here we are a year later and the dang thing is still not done!! As usual Jaybee and I were the least productive of the day ;0)
