Twins--Friends from the Start

For those of you who didn't know, I (Sarah) have been working as a nanny for about 5 months now. The kiddos I watch are boy/girl twins, and they are 9 1/2 months old (and SUCH good babies)! They have so many toys and clothes and everything else that I had no idea what to get them for Christmas. So I know they won't appreciate this at all now (how considerate am I? lol) but I made them a frame for Christmas!

Some of my absolute favorite moments with the babies are when they are eating, because they randomly stop to smile at each other. So I was obviously very happy to catch this sweet moment in a picture!!! It took me a while to come up with a saying to add to the frame, but "Twins...Friends from the start" just seemed perfect because they really are the best of friends. :)

To make this frame, I used a silver metallic paint for the base (this picture doesn't doesn't show just how shiny the paint really is) and rub-ons for the letters (time consuming, but super easy!). I also found this pretty blue floral print for the edge of the frame and I LOVE it! The whole thing was relatively easy to make, but I'm actually pretty happy with the outcome and can't wait to give it to the twins and their parents! :)

In other news: the Peanut Festival went well, we had a craft fair at a school where our cousin Christen just received a full-time teaching position!! (We are SO proud of her!), and.....Heather and I are officially college graduates!! Heather is going to grad school for Occupational Therapy so will be super busy for the next couple years, but me? I should have plenty of time for crafting and blogging now, so expect to hear from me more often than once every few months ;)

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas,
-Sarah
