They hold a tissues pocket pack - ideal for this time of year! Several people have also asked for some measurements. I am in the 'changeover' generation who was taught in inches and centimeters so I struggle with both! Anyway, I worked this one out in inches....
She has to keep a Half Term diary so we decided to make one from scratch. I let her choose some sparkly paper to cover it and we stamped and decorated inside and added ribbons on the outside. We made a matching bookmark too.
After lunch we baked cookies and decorated a cookie jar for her Mummy. (And we MAY have eaten some mixture and tested a few cookies too! LOL)
Mia is a very talented crafter and I love to make projects with her. She has so many ideas and loads of enthusiasm. She gets so excited and at one point held up her diary with a huge grin and said, "I have the BEST auntie!" Well I think I have the best neice!
Do leave a comment and let us know what you think of our projects!
Well on my last post I showed the little boxes I taught at my February classes - but I didn't say what was in them resulting in a load of questions in comments and emails! LOL

I had my lovely little neice Mia over on Wednesday for the day. We did LOTS of crafting. During the day we made a half term diary, two cards, a book mark, a decorated cookie jar and we baked cookies. AND we still found time to go out for Chinese for lunch.

Here she is with the first card - and she is drinking hot chocolate with marshmallows!

ReplyDeleteMia has the prettiest blue eyes and smile! How sweet that you two love to craft together. The tissue box holders are adorable!
ReplyDeleteOh - and I was taught in inches first...and then in centimeters a couple years later (I think I was in third or fourth grade). Talk about confusing a kid! (I'm originally from Canada).
