We started this weekend off knowing that we had Lance's company Christmas party at our house on Saturday evening. He had arranged for a new housekeeper to come Saturday morning. Lance joking said that I should start a new post kind of like...'You might be a redneck..." but "You might be slobs if.... you have to clean before the housekeeper comes to your house!" Yeah...it was really that bad!" Every night after I get off work I have 3 goals: 1) feed my kids, 2) get them in the bed, and 3) craft orders. Housework is not even on my radar!
Christmas party (thank you, Honey Baked Ham) went off without a hitch. Minus the fact that when the box says heat for 45-50 minutes, that it doubles when you are heating 6 boxes.
I have this way of letting things slip up on me. I don't know why that happens. Lance reminded me Friday during the day that I was supposed to make t-shirts for the carhops to wear in the Christmas parade. This was my super speedy, last minute creation. I managed to get 6 of these done before bedtime Friday night. These t-shirt transfers may be one of my new found faves! They are super easy to make!
I have been searching high and low for Christmas gifts that are unique, useful and really cute. Oh, and did I mention that they couldn't break the bank? I absolutely love these pullovers! I can't wait to surprise some awesome chicks that I work with tomorrow! Shhhhh....!!!
I didn't realize that between my two girls, I have about 15 teachers to create some craftiness for Christmas presents. I have started to knock some of those out....and the red/green ones are my faves!
I was experimenting with some possible gifts ideas when I managed to pull this one off. Can you say awesome?! One more thing on my want list! I know these will be a hit.....they are too cute not to be!
This is another brick order for a Dawg fan. I think they will love it! I am thinking that this brick with the Go Dawgs from above would be a good front/back combo. That may be my next creation.
I am really loving these special order ornaments! It makes me happy to know that I am creating something that will be a special keepsake for someone for many years to come.
Elf Shenanigans
I can't forget about that crazy Elfie! Lance has been trying super hard! He took Thursday and Saturday night and I took Friday. This teamwork is keeping us in the game!
I am not quite sure what the explanation (Lance's game plan) was for this one. The girls seemed to love the bubble gum and that is all that mattered!
On Friday, I knew I had to pull something cute off. I actually did the girls bedroom and our bedroom door. Those turkey little girls went to sleep on the couch....yeah, that has become the new bedtime routine around here. Makes no sense! So I decided that both doors would cover whichever room they came to first in the morning!
Lance told me that I would make them cry.....I think he was the one that wanted to cry when he had to crawl out the bedroom door at 2am! I sat in bed and laughed my butt back to sleep! The girls ended up thinking that it was pretty funny and they really liked it when they learned that they got to run through the paper and bust it down!
Uncle Brett and Brittany is in town tonight....so we will leave the nightly Elf Shenanigans up to them! Can't wait to see what they come up with!
Good Night!
