Handmade Christmas presents

I figured since it's been three weeks since Christmas I can post some pictures of some of the presents I made.

I made my niece, Macey, a church bag. There's a bag, a clipboard, an eye spy bag, and a crayon roll. There was some other non-handmade stuff in there too. I didn't take a picture of that :-).

I made a few scrabble tile pendants. Here is the one I made for my sister, Kelsey. Her favorite color is orange.

I made a cute cover for an advent book for my sister's family. I got the sheets for the book through Super Saturday at our church. I colored the pages of the book too. I just finished the cover for my binder. But I haven't started coloring our book yet.





I already posted a picture of the pillows I made for my nieces, Loke and Alyssa. But here they are again a little bit closer.


I made a crayon roll for Kaylin. Santa gave it to her in her stocking. I won't be able to get away with putting handmade stuff in her stocking next year :-).





I made a super cute photo album for my grandparents. It's an altered business card holder. I had my cousins send me pictures of their kids, I cropped the pictures and added each kid's name to the bottom, I put them in the book in age order so that it will be easy to add pictures as new kids are born. I'll probably make them a new set of pictures next Christmas.




So there you have it. Now I need to come up with ideas for next year! I already have a few things in mind...

Kylie wants a pillow and a crayon roll! If I give you a list now, can you make all my Christmas presents for next year???
