A Million Pairs of Mittens (part 1)

Hi!  So I  haven't blogged in a bit cause I've been busy making all these mittens.  And this is just for my son's kindergarten class.  I have yet to finish up my daughter's class.  I made 22 pairs of mittens for my son's class.  I first saw this on a Splitcoast Stampers tutorial.  I had some leftover inexpensive felt and lots of white yarn.  I did end up buying more felt, yarn needles, and something called Liquid Stitch from Walmart cause I don't yet know how to use my sewing machine.  So all the mittens were first glued around the edges (wait 24 hours to dry with something heavy on top) then hand sewn.  My daughter helped sew too! 

The Spellbinders mitten dies are super cute.  There are small ones too like the ones I used above to stamp the child's first initial and the year using Just Rite Stampers.  I crocheted the handles too, just a simple chain stitch and tied them on so it can be hung like an ornament.  The rickrack die is from PTI. 

We placed large candy canes in these mittens. 

We assembled all the goody bags tonight.  My younger son helped too.  We also added a small paddle ball toy that I bought again at Walmart when they were having their Halloween sale.  I bought a pack of 6 for just a quarter.  The colors are all Halloween colors like purple, orange and green but hey, it's so cheap!  My older son colored all the tags for the bags and wrote his friends' names on them.  I used PTI's Tiny Treats again.  The Tiny Treats series of stamps are so cute and fun for the kids to color.

The Trevor stamp is still up for grabs if anyone wants it.  Just leave me a comment saying you want it and will give it a good home.

Thanks for reading and hope you're having a great week!

Apple Notecards for Teachers

Hi!  Made some notecards for my kids' teachers for Xmas.  Same idea as last year!  But the teachers receiving them are different.  I used each of the apple designs from PTI's Teacher's Apple stamp set on cream cardstock and envelopes.

Wrapped up 12 notecards and envelopes for each of the teachers. 

I stamped their names beneath the apples using Just Rite stampers tiny alphabet set.

I've had the above stamp for a few months now and I haven't used it yet so I'd like to give it away.  I don't think we have that many readers so I'll send this stamp to the first person that leaves a comment on this post (not including Cheryl, of course).  Sorry, but I think I have to limit this to the US only.  Hope someone can put this stamp to good use.

Thanks for reading and have a great week!
