Well I've been busy sewing my little fingers to the bone. LOL  I have finally finished the puppets.  I made 3 of each one.  So that all the younger kids will have their own set.  I stitched them all by hand in an old fashioned kind of way.  I thought it would look cute.  That and my sewing machine has decided to puke and dh hasn't had a chance to look at it.  I also made the crayons.  I think they turned out pretty cute.  I picked up some Christmas coloring books from the Dollar Tree to go with them.  I plan on putting them in the stockings. 

Here's some picks of the puppets and crayons.
