Christmas Projects

 - by Brittany

Jameson and I have been working really hard on our Christmas projects. Sorry if you see something here and then get it for Christmas. I started by finishing up a project from Super Saturday. Thank you, Emily, for cutting these and getting everything ready for me. (And the pregnant paper was too cute. I’m saving those for something for me.) These will be going to some of the grandparents.

Jameson and I had a crayon project for his friends and his cousins. Let me tell you, they’ve upped the glue they use to keep the wrappers on. After about 10 crayons, Kevin came down and, after seeing me suffer,  devised a way to save my fingers. He found a razor blade, and cut up a plate to create a holder for the crayon. Then I didn’t have to worry about cutting my fingers, but could save them from the ripping paper. I just love him.

So here is Jameson deciding what colors to put together and what tins to fill. I was trying to keep only 2 colors per tin, but Jameson decided he liked more than that. So, the crayons didn’t turn out the way I would have liked, but Jameson loves them and can’t wait to give them to everyone.

I’ll keep the end product a surprise till after Christmas. We made round crayons and “dinohor” crayons. He absolutely loves his “dinohor” crayons. Every time he sees the pan, he ask for his dinohor crayons or his dinohor cakes. Too bad that pan is a pain to clean or I would use it more often.

We also finished our soap project tonight. I wish they would have turned out better. I think I got the wrong kind of wax. Oh well, they’re done. Hopefully, I’ll remember to post pictures of those after Christmas. Those are going to too many people who I know look at our blog. I’m not too worried about the grandparents looking at our blog. Some don’t even have the internet.
