Although we are in Valentine's mode I realized I hadn't posted on a few other goodies we put together.
I had folded them up and wrapped them in twine before realizing I had to get a few photographs...hence the wrinkle :)
The process is really quite simple. For the polar bear I cut out onto cardboard clipart I found on the the web (I picked something simple) and traced it with a fabric marker on the flour sack towels that I purchased on Amazon in bulk. I printed out the lettering and put that underneath and traced it with the same marker. Then Amelia used fabric crayons to color in the bear with the northern lights. You iron (to set the ink), you wash and then iron again. Ta Da.
We made the polar bear for pretty much everyone not living in Alaska. Amelia made a hand drawn one for her Grammy and her teacher. We made a stamped leaf for our neighbor and a stamped snowflake for her dance teacher that I didn't take photos of ... I will blame that on the flu :) Tied them all with twine and used a wood tag that I had on hand.
Her teacher stocking was jammed with goodies. We used glittery silver puff paint to write her name on the stocking.
Each of her classmates received one of these:
Finally, our Christmas Card (I swear I posted this!):
This is one she gave to her gym teacher that she signed personally :)
The photos are actually form last year's trip to the Reindeer Farm.
Enough of Christmas (gasp! did I say that?!...only 337 days left to go :) Will have a post on a bit of our Valentine's doings, as well as, other adventures next time.
