I am making santahat purses for my 3 grandnieces,but don't have any idea what to make for my 7 year old grandnephew.

I was wondering about a wallet or something along that order.

Any ideas?

What's he into? ....cars, trains, planes? Are you trying to make him something functional or are you looking for a keepsake?

I have a 6 yo. He would love a Christmas ornament personalized to his interests. He'd love it even better if I bought the stuff and let him make it. For instance, he'd love all the makings of a train ornament or a space station. He'd also enjoy something decorative for the outdoors. Bells or anything that makes noise like a windchime, a thermometer for checking the temperature, or any thing that moves like windspinners or various yard ornaments that move.

Here's what I've made for one of my GS's (he'll be 7 at Christmas) and it wasn't very expensive to make. I found an old hubcap at a YS (25 cents), got the cars from the Dollar store, and the clock works from WM, used E6000 glue to attach, it's easy to make and it's a cute wall decoration.

I too agree on the 'game' during an adult party-with the exception of one quick one that has always create laughter in lg parties I've done. Simply, you have each table of seated people split in to 2 teams (the one, two manner), then have all of the 'ones' stand together in a circle on the dance floor. Ditto with the two team. Direct them to remove their shoes & throw them into the center of their circle. Once done-you or the emcee-step into the circle & mixes them all up in a pile. On the count of 3..everyone must scramble to find their shoes, put them on & the 1st team who completes the race...wins. I also had a caricature artist on hand who worked for a minimal fee for those who wanted one done. Something else I did was set up an area for a photographer to take pics of couples, or buddies at the party. It could be a well set, candle lit table for two-toasting w/champagne glasss-or something funny-like the 'boss's desk with a swivel chair and a side chair-posing the couple with the man sitting in the swivel chair, feet upon the desk & the gal taking a memo. A placard on the desk in big print says:"IT's MY TURN"! or something funny! Pics could be passed out later in the evening as souvineers.

We definitely need a plan with dimensions. My first thought is to put the fridge & freezer on opposite ends of that back wall with the range centered between them. You'll want a pot filler, but it shouldn't be a problem as there's already water there for the fridge. Put the microwave and warming drawer in the island, and leave the sink where it is. This way you don't need to move any walls, or mess with the floors if you don't want to. And I would definitely remove that crazy soffit over the island! :-)

It sounds like those people may have two 36” over/under Sub Zero fridges. I had one in my former home...was still going strong at 25 years old, when we sold the house. In our new home, we put in a 42” French door SZ. Once again, terrific refrigeration. Not a lick of trouble after 4 years, unlike other brands complained about on this forum. I expect this fridge will be the long lasting workhorse our former fridge was. A big plus...Sub Zero has the best customer service in the industry. Since you stated that you and your husband are willing “to spend some money,” I urge you to find a store, where you can check them out.

Hello! In this situation it's best to do an asymmetrical gallery wall much like the photo below. If the art work is not perfectly aligned and centered then everything will blend together and the vent will be the last thing people look at! Good luck!

First, I would love to know, what is a Santa Hat Purse?
Have you considered making a special pillowcase? I made a Christmas Snoopy pillowcase for my Nephew and he loves it! He actually uses it year round!

Good ideas! The clock is really neat and I think the pilowcase is a fun idea, too. You can really make them to suit any season or anyone's interests - there are so many great materials out there.

Thanks, Barb, nice to meet you. I cannot believe it took so long to discover this site. One year I made a wreath with a cardboard bottom. (from Pizza) Cut a small hole in center. Glue different cards on and then wrap small boxes like Christmas packages. Glue to cardboard all around in different directions. Attached felt bow and hang on wall or door. Tiny boxes I used are from Aspirin, spices, ointment, well, you get the idea. Decorate boxes with different color Christmas wrap and different type of bows such as raffia, yarn, tiny bows. Let your imagination run wild. Have received lots of compliments on this project and what's great it cost you next to nothing.
