Christmas Crafts

Please pretend that this is a beautiful craft tutorial that you'd see on those other fancy-dancy mommy blogs...

In early December, I was thumbing through my latest Colorful Images catalog, when I came across the cutest ornament idea. While I loved the idea, I didn't love that they were $6.99 for two or that you didn't get to choose between a snowman or a reindeer.
I put on my thinking cap and headed to Archivers to get my supplies...The first step was to get Austin's fingerprints on paper. There are no pictures because the event was fast and dirty - literally. 
I drew the deer and cut out the square after his prints had dried.  Then we added a sparkly, red nose and a red paper boarder.  (Ignore my lens cap... I don't know how those fancy blog crafters do it!)
 
We finished the ornament with green boarder, ribbon and the date.
Voila! 12 ornaments for about $10!
Hopefully everyone will enjoy these for years to come!

It was a great idea and they will be cherished forever because it has that sweet little boy's prints
on it.
