Homemade Christmas 2011

I made this collage of tickets stubs for Rick for Christmas.

I also made him this accordion book about his brother. He loved it and cried. Kelsey also cried that morning when we brought it to Lynn and Russell's. His presence is still sorely missed. :(

The last thing I made him was a playbill book. I took a regular sheet protector and sewed ribbon to it so that I could slide the playbill on one side of the ribbon and the tickets on the other side of the ribbon without them moving and without having to tape them in place. Although I do have a few domestic traits, sewing is NOT one of them so I was extremely pleased with myself. Some of you may be saying, "calm down, it's just a straight stitch, you're not that cool." To you I say," bugger off", yes, I am suddenly British. :) A straight stitch for me IS an accomplishment.

 I took pictures of some of the playbills so you could see the different pretty ribbons I used.
