Donut snowmen

Ok, I found these on one of my FAVE blogs: http://blog.thecelebrationshoppe.com/

I didn't have any fondant for the nose, so I improvised and used orange gel. I think my 2 & 3 yr. old didn't mind. I think they were cute and we scarfed them down fast!

My first purchase for a Circus themed birthday party!

I found my first party favors for my daughter's 3rd birthday (in July--YES, I do plan ahead!), which is going to be a circus theme. I found these at The Dollar Tree.

These are party hats! Made with sugar cones and frosting. Very cute! There are supposed to be tassles on the top made from licorice, but, I think she didn't have the time to finish. The kids loved them!

Adult table place setting!

Kids table!

We went to a friends house for New Years Eve and this is what the hostess did to make the evening special. I loved everything! Thanks for a good time!

Snowman

Ok, here are the 2 finished snowmen. I did add blush which made him a lot cuter and I added some jingle bells to his scarf.

I'd like to find some cuter fleece next time. This is what happens when you wait till the last minute and you get the basics.

Well, here is craft #2. He is still in the works also. I got this idea from Family Fun magazine, I think, 2 years ago. I just found the key-hole shaped, brick paver at Menard's this summer. I bought 12 of them-just in case. He looks kinda plain and boring. I'm trying to figure out how to jazz him up a bit. I want to add some blush to his cheeks and maybe an embellishment to his scarf. Some googly eyes instead of the plain black ones? I don't know. We are giving these to O's teachers.

Finished item soon to follow......

Christmas tree ornament

Ok, here are the finished Christmas trees all painted with gems and the star on top! I did drill a small hole right under the star and I strung some green cord thru it.

Packaged and ready to givc away to classmates.

I figured I better post some December crafts before December is over with. This is not finished yet; still in the works.

My daughter and I are making these for her fellow classsmates for their Christmas party on Monday. I still have to add the wooden star on top and drill a hole for the fish string. It is just popsicle sticks glued onto a bigger stick with some press on jewels. Easy and cute!
