Pinterest Wins for Christmas!

We had my oldest sister this year for Christmas. Which means gifts for her and her husband and their 5 children. Since Dustin and I bought a house this year money has been a little tight so I decided to make their gifts with things that were relatively cheap to collect and or make with. Here is what I made:

I found this picture under Chisa's Pinterest Board labelled "Things for my Someday House"
I thought... I could make that!

So I looked up a link on how to make paper flowers and away I went with some paint etc. Here's my finished masterpiece..... 
She loved it!

Then I made some soft blocks for her newest addition Archer. He was born exactly a week before Caleb. It was based on this tutorial that I also found on pinterest. 
Here's the link

I pulled out the scraps of flannelette that I had and this is what I made: 
I think they turned out pretty cute!
Then for each of her girls I made them their own pop tap bracelet.... inspired by this photo on pinterest! 

Here's a link to some instructions

These are mine... The purple was for Rayann the Blue for Felicity and the orange for Aurora

For Gage I made a tie... from yet another Pinspired post

Here's a link to the site
Gage's tie!!
I had a blast doing homemade gifts.. even though it came to crunch time with Caleb's due date a few weeks before Christmas. I need to give a huge shout out to my wonderful sister Brittney for sharing her sewing machine and her time with me. Love you to the moon!!!
