My daughter is already home from school for winter break, and it’s freaking me out a little bit. But it was nice that I got to create some little gifts for her classmates and teacher before the rush of the holidays was fully upon us. I made two little things for the kids that your […]
Make Easy Picture Frames for Gifts with Elmer’s Foam Board
I like to give the grandparents something each year that’s related to the Bit or that she made. Last year everyone got a calendar full of pictures of her, but I just didn’t feel like doing that this year. I thought it would be great to give them each a picture of her, but what […]

Holiday Art
