Crafty stuff and craft room

Here are a few gifts I made for friends and Family.
First up is a perpetual cookie sheet calendar. Everything is magnetic and all the extra months etc are stored on the back of the cookie sheet. Next up is my new craft shelves. I got them here...www.organizemore.com They offer more than what I got. I love them. Especially the ink pad and ribbon ones. I so out grew the Stampin Up ribbon organizers. These come with padded feet for storing on your table and hook things on the back to hang on the wall as I did with the cubby hole one. Prices are very reasonable. I may order some of the cubby ones for the girls room. Lastly is an ornament I made, I also made small pins as well, but forgot to take a photo. This is not my idea. Years ago my bffl Kelley had a small pin she wore every Christmas. I was thinking about it and saw on a stamping website that they were making ornamnet out of round coasters, I thought hmmm I can make these. SO I did!! So do you get it??
Answer is below the photo! Okay so blogger reversed the order of my photos. So the answer is below the last photo! Sorry about that!

Christmas

I hope everyone had a great Christmas.It was a memorable one for sure what with all the snow and ice. I actually drove for the first time today in 2 weeks! lol Ü
Here are just a few photos of our day. The girls were very excited to get new I-pod nano's. Although they missed the envelope of cash, they loved what we replaced it with. Bill was a kid in a candy store as he received the X-Box 360, Don't worry, he shares! I cried, yes. The goal for Bill is to make me cry on Holidays and this one was no exception. The girls got me a beautiful silver heart necklace with a Mom saying on it. I cried like a baby. Chandler totally surprised me with a beautiful coil pot she made in ceramics. It is so pretty. By 9am the house was quiet. After breakfast, Bill's Dad and the girls headed out to Yakima to see Bill's Mom and sister. Bill played XBox all day and I took my crafty things upstairs and started to reorganize. Will show those in the next post!

Oh the Weather Outside is Frightful!!

WOW! What a week we have had! Last Saturday we had some snow/ice so come Monday morning school was 2 hours late due to the icy roads, as well as Tuesday. Then more snow....school was cancelled Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. What a way to end the last week of school before winter break! It has snowed pretty much non-stop since yesterday, with a few breaks. We also had some pretty high winds last night, we did lose power, but for only about 3.5 hours, glad it was in the middle of the night, we were all snuggled in bed, I did miss the electric blanket being on though! lol
We have kept busy too, I got all of my holiday baking done last week, instead of this weekend since we had no school. It felt good getting it all done earlier than planned. I was to have a dental appointment tomorrow, but the dentist called and cancelled. I really wasn't looking forward to having a crown and 2 very old fillings replaced. That is 2 plus hours I can stamp/scrapbook! No I do not have any gifts to wrap or purchase. We have been done for a few weeks now...not to brag! Ü I do have a few projects I have worked on the last month but have to wait until after Christmas due to most of them being gifts. Well here are a few photos of the girls in the snow, the one of Chandler with the icicle....she opened her bedroom window and snagged it off the roof! She is such a goofball! I hope everyone has a Wonderful Holiday Season and a Happy New Year!!
