Christmas Blog Hop

Tis the season to be jolly...and what better way to pull it off than with a Christmas blog hop.

Ashely, The Blog Princess is our hostess today and the place to begin. She has a drawing on her site so make sure you start there and find out how to sign up. 

If you just hopped over from Liz's Blog, then you're in the right place and I am excited to show you what I created.

I was asked to make some Texas decorations for a Christmas teacher's appreciation luncheon so I got my mind a'thinkin and these are what I came up with to celebrate Christmas Texas style.

I found this SVG on line so I cut it out with my Cricut. I hand cut the hat for the coyote and added glitter to the moon and cacti to make them look like Christmas lights. I have the words "Happy Holidays Y'All" around the outside.

The cowboy nutcrackers were the free nutcracker file last week from SVG Cuts. I drew a nutcracker mouth and found the bandana on line to print out and cut out. I created the cowboy hat in Inkscape. I used the same hat for the goodie box and just added the foam candy cane.

I was missing a few of these when I went to clean up. I was told that the teachers liked them so much that a few took some to make the pattern so their students could make them. That's a candy cane in my hat. I filled these little boxes with m & m's.

Here is a close up of my nutcracker cowboy.

Here is a side view to show his lasso. I made the lasso with jute from My Life in Arts n Crafts.
