Ginger Bread House

Today Emily and I made gingerbread houses. It has been a really long time since I made one but we were in Twin the other day and once we saw them we couldn't resist. What I didn't remember was how LONG they take to make. It took us a solid 4 hours and I don't feel like I have much to show for it. It was really fun to have to try to be creative on my own. I only wish I had more patience. After a few hours I was ready to call it quits but at that point my house was still quite plain.

Christmas Trees

Today I had the urge to do crafts with my mom. After a little searching on Pinterest I figured out what I wanted to do. I went shopping and rounded up the supplies. It was a little difficult to get the cardboard to bend into a cone shape like I needed but after a lot of practice I got better at it and my trees became less and less lopsided. I even purchased my first glue gun!
