So Thankful. . .

for fun little projects that have carried me quickly through these last few weeks of pregnancy. Baby (name still undetermined--we're starting hit panic mode!) is due March 8 and so we are down to just a little more time. And I'm still working away on a few more fun things. . .which helps the time pass a little more quickly and it lifts my spirits so much to be creating.

Made this little book a couple of weeks ago. Really struggled with how to put it together, but I ended up being happy with the results in the end. It is just a little thankful journal with tabbed categories to write thoughts in.

I also have made a couple of birthday count down calendars. They are so so fun! One is a sneak peek that will be auctioned off on the blossoms blog next week and the other is the one that already sold. If you can't tell, they are a muffin tin with magnetic covers for the holes that hold treats or trinkets to be received every day before your child's birthday. Fun stuff! Even though I'll take this baby at any moment, I'd really like to get a few more projects off my table before. . . either way, life is good!

Darcee, I didn't realize your due date was so close! I know you don't want to go over your due date, but March 9th is a great day! (Vaughn's b-day!) Good luck with everything! Can't wait to see pictures of your new one!

Can't wait to hear the news that your baby has come! Maybe you should use your muffins tins to count down the days til the due date! Such cute ideas and such creativity! I think I might just have to copy them!!!

Hang in there and don't worry, a name will come! Good luck with the delivery!

All so cute as usual. Can you teach me... I always think that when I scroll through your blog and ooh and ahh at your talent! I have been wanting to make a book like this... what a great thing for your kids to be able to have when they are older... we LOVE count downs here! I will be looking for it on blossoms blog! Thanks for sharing your talents!
