Did you know that today is June 25th?
That means that this time in 6 months it will be Christmas Day!
Since the beginning of May I have finally got my act together and completed some of my WIP's. Theresa's Christmas in Progress kept me on track last year, and I signed up again in 2008, but was behind from the start. I'm almost caught up:
January - elf clogsFebruary - Gift card tinsMarch - Disney scrapbook for our nieceApril - Shadowbox for our niece- See belowMay - Christmas cards- coming soon- June - stockings- not done yet
Over Easter Michael's had a sale and some good coupons. I stocked up on a bunch of things, and took home a couple of "not sure what I'll use this for, but it seems like a good idea" items.
One of those items was a Martha Stewart shadow box. They were on sale. $2.00 each. I was going to buy more but the majority were in really bad condition. So I just got the one.
Originally it was cream. It needed more life. A bottle of pink paint. Some princess stickers. Some photos. A Disney dollar.
Voila.
Another Christmas present for my niece. I think she's set now.
Good thing she doesn't read this, or her there'd be no surprises for her.
