Three Things Thursday; Holiday Card, Candy Bar Cake and Quiet Books

Hi everyone! Are you all as crazy as I am this week? With everything from Holiday parties, playdates, school work, handmade Christmas presents, housework and making meals...does it always feel like nothing ever actually gets done?? Or is that just me?

#1

I am usually SO on top of Christmas cards, getting the pictures, getting them made, writing out a newsletter and mailing them by the first of December at the latest.

This year not so much.

I just barely ordered them, and I think the only people who will receive them will be Grandma's who absolutely need them to get through the Holiday, for everyone else...here is what you would have gotten in your mailbox if I was just a little more organized this year...

My new years resolution will be to get a bigger head start on all of this stuff next year!

#2

I am making quiet books for all three of my little ones, and have just about finished the second one. It's a ton of work, but I think they will really like them.

Get this...the pages are pot holders that I got 2 for a buck at the Dollar Store!

I saw the idea on Obsessively Stitching, and just made it my own. I just sit up after they go to bed watching Christmas movies and sew tiny little felt creations. I'll have to show you the finished products...if they ever get finished that is! : )

#3

Last year I made my mom and step dad this candy bar cake to put their gift certificate in that we got for them.

Tomorrow I will be sharing a tutorial on how to make these super fun cakes over at Good n' Crazy, oh who by the way is having a giveaway right now for a super cute and cozy pair of children's pajamas! Go over there and enter, and then come back tomorrow to see her guest post, and my tutorial ! :)

Happy Beginning of Crazy weekend before Christmas, and I hope your to do list is smaller and more manageable than mine!

Keep it cute! -Tiff
