10 Years of Christmas Crafts

Every Christmas, we make presents for our family and special friends. That's right - we MAKE presents. Molly and I were trying to remember all the things we made in the last 10 years - here is what we have come up with. I'll see if I can get pictures.

2008 - Felt Christmas ornaments
This year we will be giving out Ornaments for your tree felted with care in our kitchen.

2007 - I can't remember

2006 - Hmm, did we do anything this year?

2005 - "Home Made" music CD
This was an actual CD with music performed by each of us, solo and in various ensembles.

2004 - Lightswitch plates
We took plastic switchplates from the hardware store, and decopaged them with all sorts of things. One of my favorites was the Ant & Bee set!

2003 - Masks
Paper mache maskes, molded on our own (and friends) faces! My parents called this one "wierd!"

2002 - Decopage Chinese Takeout boxes with Cheese Biscuits
We had to let the glue dry long enough so the fumes would not infiltrate the cookies. Also, Molly made some gorgeous pillows this year.

2001 - Picture Frames
Picture frames made out of boxes and other sundry items, containing pictures of the kids when they were still cute. This was one of our earlier decopage attempts.

2000 - Straw Ornaments
We took bynches of straw and formed them into Christmas ornaments.

1999 - Paper Stars
This is the earliest Christmas craft that I can remember. We took colored wak paper and folded them into complex star shapes. A lot of work!
