Christmas Crafting!

I am so excited for the Holidays this year! It seems like I am more excited than usual- maybe because Liam is old enough to have some fun this year. I have finished two of Liam's presents this past week! We are moving back to Greeley in a few weeks and am I so excited to decorate and organize Liam's room! I keep thinking of different storage ideas for all of Liam's toys that are in storage. He seems to have turned into a little boy overnight! He doesn't need a nursery anymore- he needs a room for him to play in!
These were the easiest things to make! The plastic ABC magnets at Walmart were quite what I was looking for so I decided to make my own fridge magnets! I found these cute wood cut outs at Hobby Lobby the other day. I just put a sealer over them and slapped a magnet on the back so I have easy to clean fun magnets for Liam now!
His ABC blocks took a little (and by a little I mean a lot) longer than the magnets to make! I just bought 1.5 inch wood blocks and painted them with arcylic paints. I put some stickers on them because my drawing skills are horrendous, and sealed them so they can be washed! Hopefully he will have fun stacking them and putting them in and taking them out the box!

  3. ok, maybe if I help you move in you will show me how to do the blocks?!? those are super cute. I read every post you have done, I would have commented on some but you probably never would have noticed. But there are some really cute ones!
