Christmas 2008

WARNING: If you are expecting a handmade gift from the Woog this year, wait until after Christmas to read this post!

We haven’t done and official Woogie Wednesday in quite a while so yesterday we devoted the entire day to it. We worked on Christmas gifts for the Woog. Next Wednesday we’ll do some baking for her gifts too since she loves to cook. We started out making gift tags, so she drew a snowman and wrote her name:

Then I scanned it into the computer, resized it and printed it out (I’m only using yellow paper because it was left in my printer from our Christmas Cards) and got all the supplies together:

Then I let her rub her pencil around the entire back for the transfer:

Then I transfered her snowman and name and carved it out while she played with all the carved bits and ended up making a huge mess (so glad this is in my studio!):

Then we inked them to see if I needed to carve anymore:

And them the stamping began:

Then, we worked on the gifts. I found some unpainted wooden frames at Hobby Lobby several months ago and spray painted them with chalkboard paint. Then she signed the back of each one and drew a heart on pink paper and glued those on. Then I made the chalk holder with ribbon. We then took a mini photo shoot out back for the picture, printed those and then she dream on each of the chalk boards before we wrapped them. This is one that we made to keep and I drew on this one:

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
