holiday craft fun

Yesterday, the kiddos and I went to a crafting party thrown by our friends over at Martha Stewart! The event was held at Pins and Needles, and it was all kinds of fun...

Walker was super-into the chalkboard fabric ornament craft (although I think his favorite part was emptying the bucket of chalk out onto the table over and over again)...
here we are working on some button-embelished greeting cards...

and a sweet smile from Jackson, a very happy crafter :)

It was such a lovely event and the facilitators for each craft were so great with the kids. We definitely left feeling inspired to have a more handmade holiday season this year.

Check out the following links to see all the details on creating the crafts we made at the party:

Do you get into the crafting spirit when the holidays roll around? What ideas are you planning to try out this year? I'd love to know! Since we're moving to an actual house soon, I am SO looking forward to having the space to be artsy/crafty/creative with the kids all year round, but especially during the holidays.

  4. I really like how your banner is out of focus for this site. That is a really great idea. I have to blog some days for husbands game site at Good Apps and you always help me get thru the day. You never knew you were influencing even the game market eh? :) Thank you for the inspiration!
