Crafty...

Christmas was great. Unfortunately, having 3 kids opening presents during mass hysteria - twice - doesn't foster many pictures. Let it suffice that we are spoiled and loved. New Year's was good. Half the party went home by 10. Kids were asleep by 10:30 and the last of the party left at 12:01. Jon and I played Dr. Mario until 2. e.x.c.i.t.e.m.e.n.t. BUT....
New Year's Day brought the crafty bug to the Hibshman household and boy was it fun!
Cousin Melissa had this great idea. Sister-in-law Katie had a desire and shared. Mother-in-law Carole and I played and had a blast.
This is the second one I made. It has since acquired a frame (thanks again!) and looks great!
This is my first attempt and I gotta say, I'm pretty pleased. Aren't they fun? They're super easy, too and cheap. We {LOVE} it! :)
Here's the collection of all our handy-work. Carole's "Spring" and Valentine's....
and Katie's Valentines and "Spring". Can you sense the theme? Katie has her own house to decorate these days... :) It was way fun and I'm totally addicted. Just today I made one for Brooklyn's teacher. All it needs is a frame and she will get to take it to school. A little belated Christmas gift. :)
Proof that I was there and successful.
What would a craft excursion be without a little mess? We had fun, that's for sure!
Carole hard at work.
Katie, debating placement...it turned out well, don't you think?

What a perfect way to spend a snowy day... Thanks girls!
