Craft Fair Fun

WOW! Have I been MIA or what! I can't believe I have gone so long without a post. Life has been so crazy and between workshops, classes, kids, husband, and work I just let my blog slip my mind. Sad I know and I promise to try harder to be more consistent :) A local pastor and his wife want to take a trip to Romania and the community has come together to help raise funds to send them on a journey that will touch many hearts! I was asked to donate some handmade items to sell and here is one I came up.
 

How cute are these little guys! Santa's Elves :) I just love them!
