Day 040 - February 9th


Tuesday was a day I was finally able to do something Crafty for the week!!! I was holding on to Genesis' little Santa Suit from Christmas, knowing I wanted to do something special with it. I'm glad I waited around, because I got this shadowbox on sale at Michael's plus had an additional 15% off coupon, so it was around $15 or so. I put it in there with his little Christmas slippers that my Mom got him (they say My First Christmas) and a 5x7" print of his Portraits from Olan Mills, a green bow, the "H" ornament from Kevin's Mom ("H" for Hendrix) and a little folded dollar bill in the shape of a heart, also given to him from Kevin's Mom. I found a little yellow foam star and wrote "Christmas 2009" and put it at the top. I wanted to put silver tinsel around the border but I must've left that out at my Moms or something. I'm kinda glad I didn't try to put that in there, cuz this stuff ended up filling it up rather well. I'm not too sure about hanging a shadowbox on the walls of the apartment, as they are rather heavy, but hopefully I can find a good place for it eventually.

Side Note:: I'm also debating on doing one with his little halloween costume, pictures from trick-or-treating, and cutting the face off of his little pumpkin bucket we used for candy. Not sure about whether I'm going to do it or not. I'll hold off for the time being, but if I do it later on down the road, I'm sure I'll post pictures!!!
