I got a SEWING MACHINE!! My Grandma gave me a real sewing machine for my Christmas present.

So, I started sewing... I made a new dress for a GIGANTIC Barbie that Grandma gave Sara for Christmas.

Book Markers
Pretty Book Markers

My mom found a website on how to make book markers. We spent a whole morning making all that we had supplies for. They turned out neat. We even made us some to keep. We went to church that afternoon and took enough to pass out to half the church for a Christmas gift. Everyone really liked them! I am keeping this idea in mind for fun gifts for teachers and kids at my school.

My Barbie House

Last year, Santa brought me a big Barbie House.
It did not hold up very well. It finally crumbled to the floor last week. So, my daddy went out to the shop and made me a new one. I LOVE it! I don't think this one will ever crumble. I bet it will last me forever! I hope to hand it down to my kids to play with. And this year Santa brought me some new furntiture to add to it! I am probably never coming out of my room again, except to eat and go to school!
