Great last-minute toys. We’re all cutting back, right? So here are some links to free paper toy downloads. I suppose that it’s more environmentally friendly to print paper toys at home rather than buy some plastic junk from China.
I will admit that there will be a Hannah Montana microphone under our tree this year. We’re not totally sure how our four-year-old discovered Hannah Montana, but she did and she loves her. I guess it could be worse. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to make my kids happy without making myself vomit. When I told my older daughter that we were going shopping for a birthday present for her sister she asked if they had plastic toys at the store (they did not). My kids will probably grow up to have some strange plastic toy fetish.

LOL on the Hannah Montana thing! We are currently in Webkinz land here–the love affair shows no sign of letting up anytime soon…
Just found your blog through Rhonda Jean, and I love it!
Is there any way you could direct me to where I might find the embroidery pattern you used on the linen towels from the giveaway? I assume it’s machine embroidered? It’s absolutely gorgeous! It appears to have a ‘raised’ texture which I am really loving. Thank you!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I love the vintage lacing cards.
