Countdown 2025 Days 9 & 10

-
I am a little late posting this because life has been lifeing lately. It's that busy time of year when work is finishing up for the and all the Christmas activities are starting. I started writing this post on the 10th and didn't get around to finishing it so here goes. 
Day 9 I got two dragonfly napkin rings. They are so pretty and they feel very solid and good quality. Dragonflies are special to me, we used a dragonfly as one of the main characters in our Tidy Planet Adventures book series, his name is Doug and he is a lot of fun. 
On day 10 I got this cute coffee cup. I like it a lot but it is very small, maybe it's an espresso cup but in this house it's going to be a doll cup, because Little Miss' dolls like Gilmore Girls too!

I have 3 doors left to open, I am making it last by opening an advent calendar surprise everyone other day. Saty tuned and I will share more Gilmore Girls goodies along with some festive crafts we've been doing. 
Happy Holidays!

DIY Minecraft Nerf Gun Target

We have been having fun with nerf guns in the backyard this summer. To change it up  from Nerf Gun battles we decided to make some targets to practice on. Materials: Cardboard box Paint pens  Duct tape  Measure the targets, one big circle in the middle, four smaller circles around the middle target. Cut out the circles, measure about a 1/2" from the edge and cut the contour of the small circles. Measure 1" on the center circle and cut the contour. Draw a character on each target. We chose a creeper for the middle target and pigs for the smaller targets. Place the target in their perspective circles, measure twine to hang each target in place. Duct tape the twine to the target and the targets to the support. Tape all the shapes to their respective openings. Add point value for each shape.  It's  time for target practice! Happy crafting!
