Crafty Christmas!

We decided to make many of our Christmas gifts this year. We lucked out and found 2 saws (that I have been wanting) on sale for Black Friday. We bought a miter saw and table saw. I love them. We made Yardzee/Farkle and Yard Jenga. My oldest niece - Holly - who is 23 now, showed me a picture of a wine rack that she would like to have. She believed in us more than we believed in ourselves. :) I don't have a picture of it yet. Holly will need to send us a pic once she has it up in her dining. room.  Vince says it feels good to know your blood, sweat, and tears went in to the gifts.

Hannah will be graduating in May. It is so hard to believe. She will be moving into the dorms and playing soccer. We are so happy for her! We decided to make a jewelry display that she can take with her. 


Heidi got her ears pierced this year. I designed her earring holder myself. We even added some earrings to it for when she opened it. She got other earrings for Christmas and immediately added some to it. :)


My Cricut and Gypsy died. :( I had to upgrade. Since I don't want to be tied to internet to work, I did my research and decided to go with the KNK Zing Orbit. Vince got it for me for Christmas. I LOVE IT! I had to wait until after Christmas to finish making Brian (my bil) and Holly's stocking stuffers. These are bottle openers.




I love working with Sure Cuts A Lot 4 Pro and my Zing Orbit. I can't wait to start etching glass blocks again and making vinyl designs for shirts. My mom knew I wanted a heat press and was going to have my husband get me one for my birthday (it is the 19th of this month), but she is as excited for me to make shirts as I am. She got me a heat press for Christmas. I am ready to get my craft back on!

Until next time ~ VinDeeLoo
