High Tech Wrapping

I gave Campbell a robot kit (from Hummbird Robotics–so cool!), so I decorated the package in high tech form. Also decorated her Mom’s similarly…it was a Mini Jambox.

Shape Stretchies for Addison and Ella

Loved this idea from Skip to My Lou and made two sets for each of my oldest nieces. I watched Ella open them and she took to them right away!!  I had to put directions and pictures as sometimes my family is confused by my open ended gifts! 😉

Here are the directions to make these (thanks to Skip to My Lou): Shape Stretchies

Baby Blocks for Livia

I made everyone a gift this year for Christmas, thanks to Mom’s sewing machine and Pinterest. My first project was for my youngest niece, Liva. These are baby blocks with rattles inside. Each rattle is different. I used Easter eggs and various fillers to creat the rattles.
