Felt Tree!

Adalee loved her tree. It was really easy to make also. It takes about 1 hour.

All you need is:
1/2 -1 yard of green felt
Several pieces of whatever color felt that you want the ornaments to be.
3 pieces of the felt with sticky backing.
1 piece of yellow felt for the star
White display board  ( folds up on both sides)

Now just trace your Christmas tree out with a white crayon so you can easily see it. Cut it out and hot glue it to the display board. Then cut out the presents using the felt with the sticky backing. This made the presents permanently on there.. nothing on the presents is removable but that was only by choice. I glued on the bow and the dots just to keep the presents in tact. Then you just cut out the ornaments, i just used circles and stars because it was easy. I used cups as templates and a cookie cutter for the star stencil. Felt sticks to felt so you can take the ornaments on and off as many time as you want! Here is the end results.. not perfect but who cares it is cute!

 We made it last night so when she woke up she could play with it.. there was a lot of squealing involved! She loved it and has played with it several times today.

ENJOY!

Not Private

Well i was going to make this blog private but it is way to complicated! So i might just put watermark on my photos or whatever it is called.
 The reason i wanted to start a blog is so i can actually remember the stuff that goes on in the Robertson household. Also i am loving pinterest and i am always trying new recipes and i want other people to try them also because they are yummy so i will be posting recipes here as well. I will also be posting some crafts. I am hoping for a sewing machine (hint hint) for Christmas and if i get one then i will be trying my hand at sewing.I just bought the stuff at Hobby Lobby tonight to make Adee a felt Christmas tree to decorate so hopefully it turns out. Braxton is much better at drawing so i am waiting for tomorrow when he will be home to help me. Stay tuned!

The beginning.


 Well Well.. i can't promise that i will keep up with this blog but i defiantly want to try! So an update on what is going on in the Robertson household. Adalee is 18 months now.. and running the house already. She is starting to talk really well and can say many 3 word phrases. Her favorite word being NO. She is really starting with the attitude but Brax and i just laugh. Braxton graduated in April 2012 and is working at Costco. He is currently the Food Court supervisor. I am still at Costco also. They recently opened a new store in Spanish Fork, UT so i work there and Brax is in Orem. I work morning merch and things are good. Braxton is going to go to Law School and i am excited for the new adventure and excited to see where we will end up. And here is a picture for your viewing pleasure!
