Christmas Gifts

I did manage to make a few Christmas gifts these past few weeks, I did a family crossword for my kids with their last names, their names, theirs kids, family and Love! Added buttons for some of the things that they like. I had Sunflower buttons that I had gotten for Andrea, but put them away so I wouldn't miss place them, so now I am on the hunt to remember where the safe place was! I have a couple of others that have to be added to David and Amanda's I hope they like them! They were made on oil paint canvass, I just paint them with watercolors and acrylic, and put a finish when dry, then added heart stamps, this time I remember to take a photo of the names so I would know where to put the letters! I found the tiles at Goodwill stores, thrift stores, in our basement we had 2 games, just the game boards no tiles, where they went to God only knows! 


Family Crossword
This is a tree I made from some of my mom's buttons!  I think I will give it to my niece, she tells us her apartment is smaller than a Studio size and has no room for a tree, this might be perfect! 

Button Christmas Tree
As for my stitching I still haven't picked up that darn needle yet! I am hoping after the first of the year things will change!

Enjoy the Day!
