Can anyone out there give me crafty ideas on what to do this year. She is already asking "I wonder if Mrs. Claus is going to make me something.

Have you thought of making her a beaded necklace to wear or a Christmas ornament to have on the tree. Design her a shirt for her to wear?

If she likes baking the mixes in jar. Soaps or snowglobe soap that has a toy inside, scarf, ornament with paint inside that will streak. I agree pinterest may help, there are tins of ideas. Hand painted picture frame, can be an easy winter scene for a picture from this winter. Mod podge anything.

How about a snow man kit? Were making them as neighbor gifts this year- just add snow. We just bought a new house, and when we started planting found tons of small landscape rocks-were painting those black like coal. Add a fleece scarf, felt hat, buttons, and felt nose and you have instant fun for snow days.
Just google snowman kit and you can find tons of blogs/instructions.

I made one for my 11 year old granddaughter to see what she thought of it, she loved it! So I'm making a few for some friends for Christmas. The more buttons and layering the better.

I wonder if she would like a fancy pretty wreath for her door. Get a round wreath form and a dollar store boa or 2 (depending on the size) and wrap around. Its so cute! I did it for my daughter. You could glue on flowers or anything else you wanted to.
