Hope everyone (who celebrates) had a wonderful Christmas.
As I'm sure is the case for many, the celebrations and get-togethers just keep on coming : )
Yesterday I loaded up the children and a tub of gifts and headed to my mom's for a gathering of
some of our more artsy family members--Pen, Audrey and Catherine.
The funny thing is, whenever we all get together we incorporate some sort of project for our 'crafting day'.
Since this was so close to Christmas, it was decided that, eh, we'll just visit, chat, eat and open gifts.
No crafting necessary.
Uh huh.
That lasted about an hour and a half.
By then the rumblings of needing to be creative overcame us and Bubbe busted out the supplies.
The project: Paper Quilts
The supplies: wrapping paper & tags (from the just opened gifts), assorted scrapbook paper and a few choice ribbons.
Much fun was had by all (of course!). In all, we completed 6 paper quilts (including one by Will) and a fabulous and fashionable outfit for her new wooden paper dolls by Ebby.
Check out a few more pictures of the day on my flickr photostream : )
And next time, we won't kid ourselves.
We'll have a project ready from the get-go!
