And it normally rhymes. It is so much fun reading the clues out loud before opening the gift and trying to guess . . . :)<br /><br />Best,<br />SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04904001311262731237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919085430036876974.post-35383094988706973332009-12-14T20:49:07.716-06:002009-12-14T20:49:07.716-06:00Thank you so much for all your kind comments as we...Thank you so much for all your kind comments as well as the link!

But what it actually looks like outside of my head, I don't know. Hee. I'm thinking smallish, but that'll be tricky to stitch. Which is where felt makes sense because you don't have to worry about fraying... and about then, my head usually explodes!Lenettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342070002060603966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919085430036876974.post-16170912701091696992009-12-12T12:50:23.571-06:002009-12-12T12:50:23.571-06:00Hmmm, that was a rather large comment I just left....Hmmm, that was a rather large comment I just left.

FUN!<br /><br />Loved the “mom I’m bored” activities!<br /><br />Wow at those bookish wreaths. Such a simple idea, but how NEATO!<br /><br />My daughter would love the simple ball ornaments. I suppose I’d have to do the ribbon, though, which would bother her (because, you know, she has to do it all!).<br /><br />What a CUTE little felt fairy house! I wish I had limitless time!<br /><br />I love my ergo (I have a waaay old one that’s been used by a handful of other moms before me), but it would sure be fun to make the Mei tai just so I could pick out a couple different types of fabric. <br /><br />Yeah, I don’t make cakes very often, either. And when I frost them…I just kinda make it up as I go along. I made some cute crayon cakes when BJ was a baby. I’ll have to pull out those old photos and see if my memory of them being cute is too far off. LOL<br /><br />I loved this quote from The Simple Dollar: “great gifts come from caring about people as individuals and thinking deeply about that person, not from just trying to find something so you can knock another person off of your Christmas list.” Wow…that’s so very true. And yet when we wait until the last minute, it doesn’t show much respect. I’ve learned that the hard way,unfortunately. :(<br /><br />What a cute and easy-to-make (print n' cut) baby manger!<br /><br />Man, that’s a HUGE list of tag options. In my family we often use old Christmas cards. They’re usually thick enough to be a sturdy tag and yet also very pretty.<br /><br />I really like the fun with fonts. Most people don’t realize that they probably have free access to their local college or library’s die-cut area. I’ve also enjoyed using fabric for making neat bulletin board fonts. But you have to laminate the fabric, first. Then when you die cut, it’ll last for years and years for re-using if you take special care of it.<br /><br />On the felt/fabric question, do you mean to use on a felt board or for hand puppets or something else? My friend made these last Christmas. I’ll see if I can find her post on it, but you can probably see exactly what she did just by the picture: <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/teachertools/Winter2009?feat=email#5414417174736161490" rel="nofollow">CLICK HERE</a> (let me know if you can't see it and I'll email it to you)<br /><br />:WARM HUGS:2Shaye ♪♫https://www.blogger.com/profile/10473467039770299975noreply@blogger.com
