A New Tradition

In an earlier post I showed you my fabric that I purchased in TX.


This fabric is now pillowcases to start a new tradition in our family. (Trina's idea) Each family will get one. Then when someone has a birthday they get to use the pillowcase for that month or week or whatever depending on how many birthdays they have in that month. Here they are in a bad picture!


I wrote: Happy Birthday Love Nana along the edge.


I followed a tutorial here. It was VERY easy! I hope this is a tradition that will be carried on through generations.

Halloween Goodie Bags

We don't really do much for Halloween.  At some point I hope to see the kids all dressed up, but we usually don't see them on Halloween.  I don't really decorate for Halloween, but for fall instead.  Being in the country means we don't have trick or treaters either.  So, I decided to start a new tradition for our grandchildren for Halloween.  I made each one of them a goodie bag with his/her name on it.

(There are only five in the picture because I gave Chance his on Saturday.)

Of course Clara's had to have a little something "girly" on hers!

Because of all the fru-fru I put Clara's name toward the bottom.

You can see Nate and Payton's names on theirs.

So, I plan to fill them each Halloween and have them give them back to me before the next Halloween. 

I'm really not going to focus on candy, although I'm sure there will be some in there.

 I can envision sending them off to them when they are in college.:)

What Halloween traditions do you have?
