Longtime readers know that every Christmas I have a "theme" that I carry through that year's gift wrap and Christmas Cards.

This year my theme was "A Woodland Christmas". I was inspired by my collection of plastic deer... and the fact Aaron could make mushrooms and acorns on his lathe.

gift

I was able to use the Woodland Creatures craft supplies from Martha's Craft line at Michaels.

Here is what the wrapped teacup candles looked like. Quick and easy to put together. Here are some more pictures of how I put them together.

Here is what Aaron and I made for Christmas gifts this year.

gift

Aaron turned the acorn and mushroom ornaments on his lathe and I made the teacup candles.

teacup

I found the teacups at yardsales and flea markets throughout the year. Here are pictures of how I made the teacup candles.

acorn

Aaron stained the top of the acorns and mushrooms and added the hooks to finish them off. Here are a few pictures of Aaron making the ornaments.

mushrooms

I love the mushrooms. I have plans for him to make more for me to paint. I hope our friends like their gifts this year!

radio

While we were on our beach holiday, Aaron and I celebrated our third anniversary. While I stuck strictly to the traditional third anniversary gift of leather and gave Aaron a new pair of leather flip flops... he got me a radio. 

Recently we replaced our big stereo with a small iPod speaker dock. Without the stereo I couldn't listen to any local radio stations. I wanted a little radio that looked cute on the kitchen counter, so I could listen to NPR while I cooked. Aaron found this really nice, retro looking Tivoli Model One radio. It's perfect. (of course with the oven still sitting in the dining room it's listening to NPR while I paint the kitchen walls)

I make no secret of the fact that I am spoilt rotten. For Valentine's Day, Aaron got me Mariebelle chocolates (while apologizing for not making the chocolates himself) and a Paul Frank Pugly watch.

What I really loved though... was the work he put into packaging the gifts. He actually made the gift tags by gluing patterned paper inside craft paper and used a hole punch to cut heart shapes through the front. And check out the ribbon! (which I immediately hoarded away)

I was amazed. All these years of crafting in near proximity of him has paid off!
