Christmas Crafts for Donuts with Santa!!

I was asked by a friend at my girls school to make some crafts to help raise money. Instantly, I thought, sure! that's a great idea. I can promote some of the things I've been trying to sell in my Etsy shop. I asked some friends what they thought I should make weeks before this things was scheduled. I was going to kick butt!!
Then life continued to happen, I procrastinated a little, ran a little low on funds and my mom came to visit! You know? The usual excuses I have!


A really good idea I was given was these coasters made from 4 inch tiles!! I told my mom what I was doing so of course while she was here, she decided these would be GREAT Christmas gifts for practically EVERYONE she knew!!!
So I stamped out roughly 80 of these things!! At least it was good practice for these!!












I had a couple other designs too but I can't seem to find the pictures for them!!
Again, story of my life! But it is 2010 so I am changing that!! :)
Next we have some simple little paper bag ornaments!





I also made some cute little kid aprons.
I bought a couple of pot holders and kitchen towels and put these puppies together in no time!





















I made a couple ornaments too! I just picked up some glass ornaments from Hobby Lobby and stuffed them with pieces of ribbon and 'sprinkles'!! (Rhinestones)
Of course while I was selling them I realized this was the money maker and I should have made more than 11!!! (one broke while I was filling it!)
The kiddos went crazy over these!! remind me next year just to make these!!















And here are the Hairbows for my Etsy shop that I NEVER got put up!!
But they sold out too! So that went well!














And this is the Beautiful After math that I call my kitchen!!! Let me just say, Sean is not too fond of my crafting. We ate at the coffee table for a whole week because I had this stuff everywhere getting ready for the Donuts with Santa thing!! I do have to say that it wasn't a complete waste though!! I helped raise $54 for the school and..........






A couple of 'Hotties' made their appearance!!! My heart palpatates a little faster everytime I look at these pictures!!
I did get my picture taken with Edward but I looked a little too 'crazed' to show it!
Yes, I am a twenty-something mother of four children and I HEART Edward!! Yes, I do know that he is a fictional character, but I love him nonetheless. And because Jacob was staring at me the whole 4 hours I was there I began to understand Bella's delima!
I can honestly say that I hate M's teacher right now!! Okay not really, hate is such a strong word. I just dislike her a little bit because she got to take Jacob home. Now, had it been Edward? I'd probably be serious about the hate thing!!!
