We had some fun in December. We made crystal snowflakes, super cool! HERE are the instructions.

And in the mist of all the Christmas hub-bub, my Dan Man lost his first tooth!

He ran into Sissy head on and it knocked it right out!

I Made him a quick felt tooth bag using the idea from HERE. I usually make a tooth pillow but this was too cute to pass up, plus it was QUICK!! (This picture was taken with my phone so its really bad... sorry) The white felt tooth opens at the top for the tooth and the money (or gold doubloons as Dan Man calls them) go in the big pouch. It's a drawstring so it closes up tight. I used strips from an old t-shirt for the strings instead of yarn.

Here are my neighbor gifts... I made my traditional "chow" but this year I got hooked on the origami boxes from the tutorial I found HERE. My bags fit perfectly in the boxes!! I also made wreath ornaments, since our theme was wreaths this year. They turned out really cute. I used wooden spools and buttons. (you can kind of see it on top of one of the boxes.) I used strips of Christmas scrap booking paper to wrap around the spools. I tied a bell and a red ribbon on the top of the ornament.
Fun Fun!
We loved the snowflakes, we are planning on making more for our January "snow" theme in school.
Hope everyone had a Happy Christmas!
