We made Christmas slime...



Shrinky dink ornaments...

(Even Steph got in on the action!)



And snowmen tealight ornaments and Christmas tags! Whew!



Ellie, Millie and Haylan  made a tutorial for the snowmen tealights! One take, these girls are pros!

Of course I had to make something too!

They crafted for almost 7 hours, with breaks for BJ's Pizza, Shirley Temples, reindeer chow and taking turns in Uncle Chris' massage chair! It was a fun ending to a Happy Thanksgiving. Lots is good food and family. I love my people!

The Blondies came to spend the week. I got to spend the day with them on Monday, and we had a craft day since it was raining. They wanted me to take pictures so that I could post their art projects on my blog...

Millie first named her painting after Uncle Chris, then changed it to Jake the Snake!





Haylan fell in love with stencils. Of course she picked the LSU Tiger paw print!



[caption id="attachment_1656" align="alignnone" width="3416"] I love their quirky rings![/caption]

I loved their artwork so much I had to make something too...

[caption id="attachment_1653" align="alignnone" width="3456"] Club Scrap card stock and stamp images. Images stamped with Faber Castell gelatos spritzed with water. Green Perfect Pearls for a little shimmer[/caption]

They even talked me into going to see Alice Through the Looking Glass! They got sugared up and popcorned out! We LOVED it!



Lots of creative fun with these two sweet girls! They are already planning the next visit. We'll have a little time to find at least 6 impossible things to believe before breakfast!
