And last but not least my very favorite project (see here and here for others)...The Little Leeson's Grocery StoreI really wanted Santa to give all 3 kids something with "wow" factor, but wanted to make sure it was something we would get lots of use out of. My inspiration came from the Leaps and Bounds Grocery Store, but for several reasons I knew I would not be bringing that one home.I unlisted the help of my wonderful hubby, convinced him this was a good idea, explained my vision and put him ... 
Doorway Puppet Theater
Continuation from Santa's Workshop post.Doorway Puppet TheaterI got this next gift idea from HearthSong and knew immediately this would be a perfect gift for Aubrey. I am always thrilled to find toys that don't clutter up the house (ie. take up too much room or require lots of parts) and that allow her to be creative. However, I didn't like the price or the design so I decided to make my own.It really was an easy project and it came together quickly (about 2-3 hours total) and it is completely ...

We used a paper plate, green paint, construction paper, glue, red pom poms & red ribbon to complete this project.I let Aubrey paint the plate green while I cut out the holly leaves. I had originally cut the plate first, but then realized ...
Frosty the Snowman
We have been doing several Christmas crafts & this was one of our favorites. I will also always remember this craft because it has a funny story to go with it (although it was not funny at the time!)While outside collecting branches for the snowman's arms my lovely almost 3 year old decided she needed to lock the front door. Needless to say I spent the next 10 minutes outside in the cold trying to coach her how to unlock it, yelling at her do "unlock the door, NOW!" and wondering what on earth ...
