Homemade Holiday [Gifts]

This was my first Christmas were I attempted crafty gifts. I think I did pretty well! Here are a few of the goodies I made for my friends and family. Thanks to my amazingly wonderful husband, who surprised me with a "non birthday birthday gift" - a Silhouette machine...my goodie making was fabulously changed! XO to that awesome man!!

Etched Glass: I was able to cut directly on contact paper making the template so easy to use.

I also made my mom a felt flower wreath for her front door. Go Dawgs!


What fun to give away things I actually made! It is so much more gratifying than store bought gift giving. Beware my friends...you may be seeing something similar come your birthday, new baby, new home... :-).

  2. It's awesome! A far cry from the way I was cutting designs. The program is vast and I'm looking for new projects to do so I can use it in different ways.

    I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get setup? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a
    pretty penny? I'm not very web smart so I'm not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would
    really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you got your theme.

    My programmer is trying to persuade me to move
    to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
    But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on numerous
    websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform.
    I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
