Crafty Creation "C" for Carson

Hi friends!

How are ya'll doing?

It's only Wednesday,

but it's already been a busy week here.

But, I'm never too busy 

for a crafty creation.

Right?!

This crafty creation is for my cousin's son, Carson.

He just celebrated his first birthday this past weekend.

Since I was at home sick all weekend,

we missed the festivities. :( 

When James found out we missed the party he said

"Well YOU might have been sick, but I wasn't!!!"

Needless to say Carson might forgive me

for being sick, but James won't.

Oh how that child loves a good party! 

Now on to the fun...

the gift.

I started with a "C" from Hob Lob.

I painted, modge podged, sanded, decorated,

antiqued and then modge podged some more.

Until this...

became this.

I just couldn't help myself 

and had to make a matching card.

Once everything was good and dry,

I used my Crop-a-dile to attach twine as a hanger.

Finally, a cute gift demands cute giftwrap. :)

Since I'm practical and crafty

his gift included a cute pair of camo shorts too.

So do tell,

do you wish your name was Carson

and this was your gift?!
