Holidays with Top Tips

I entirely got so distracted with the Holiday and the 16 person reunion typed Holiday Vacation to Florida, I've forgotten that there is a Tuesday this week!  I regret not posting earlier, however, I don't regret the time I've been enjoying with my family!  This Post is to make sure you all are kept up on the happenings over at Top Tip Tuesday this week and to show off some of the gifts that I've given this week to some very special family members.  The artist  is my hubby and the ingredients are a little random.  Having no craft supplies to speak of and no table is very difficult but where there is a will there is usually a way!  I hope you enjoy them and play along with our challenge:

This is BB Houghton the III (made for my mom, sketch by my hubby)

For my Sister in Law (sketch by my hubby)

My nephew is red haired and loos not quite this enlongated but really close

This is exactly how my neice looks!

Top Tip Tuesday Challenge #66 - ANYTHING GOES

Well, the candles were both tear jerkers this year, and very popular at the craft sales for preorders as well!  This can be done with any photo or sketch with tissue paper and a heat tool.  I've gotten loads of requests for a tutorial too so keep an eye out for that as well! 

Doesn't have to be christmas inspired - just anything at all!

Teddy Bo new graphics

Happy Holidays!  Just wanted to take the opportunity to get that out there before I entirely forget!   The only reason I would forget is because the 16 of us in my moms house have been thoroughly enjoying ourselves.  We get to wake up with a two year old and go nigh night with hime blowing us kisses too!

I wanted to place my Teddy Bo today so it would be present for the rest of this week and you all could check out these great new graphics available in the store.  These graphics would've come in so handy about 8 years ago when my girl got her braces off.
