Birthday Surprises

Back a ways, It was Tabitha's b-day. It was a surprise party, so I made a pair of ice-skates to welcome here home. That was the first part of the surprise: We're going ice-skating.

The second part of the surprise was when most of our Ameribuddies were waiting! Then they came back with us to eat delicious cake. I was creative and helped turn a bunny-sized cake pan into a puppy!

Christmas Decorations

Its hard to take pictures at night. :/ But here are some of the beautiful handmade decorations we have warming up our household! My roomie Tabitha found this fun snowflake material at JoAnn's, so she had to create some stockings. When I hung them up, they were a bit lonely, so I used construction paper and cardboard to make us a fireplace! It's pretty warm-feeling, especially when I leave my scrap rug in front of it.  Tonight, I finished making snowflakes and hung them throughout our two main rooms. All that's lacking is the tree. And there are plans to get it next weekend! ^_^

Oh, the snowflakes on the front window are Tabitha's as well. She was keeping me company while I made the fireplace.
