Random Goodness TuesdaysChristmas Crafts!

I'm hoping that my daughter calls me tomorrow to tell me she was chosen to rent a 5 bedroom home. She needs the space. Maybe not THAT much, but it's a much nicer house than the three bedroom homes she has looked at! I would love for her to have plenty of room for the kids and not be cramped.

Random Goodness #1:

I can just see this big fella, the Frost-Free Snowman sitting in the corner of her living room this Christmas! How fun would that be!? Family Fun has so many cute projects!




Random Goodness #2:
When I was a preschool teacher's aide, I was in charge of doing crafts. I also was the craft coordinator for MOMS Club (in a Dallas suburb). I created a craft for the kids to become gingerbread men and they took them home for ornaments. They were similar to these found at Oriental Trading.

I used brown paper bags (free from grocery shopping). I used fiberfill to make the bodies a little plump. But instead of putting their photo in the tummy, the photo was the actual face. They were So Cute!

Just flip the front piece over and glue the face of the photo into the face area of the gingerbread man before assembling. I do not find any gingerbread online made like my craft. I wish I had a photo! I inserted a folded piece of ribbon at the top before gluing the front and back together. I used craft paint with a pointed end to draw the decor on the body. I added a little red ribbon to the top/side of the face on the girls. It's a Very Fun Project!





Random Goodness #3:

I saved the Gem of this post for last. Here is a beautiful creation by All Things Heart and Home called Tiny Tickles of Joy. This was a project for Fall, but changing the paper out to a Winter or Christmas theme is perfect for the Joyous Season we are about to enter. Head on over to see her great tutorial!
