Like the rest of America we are struggling with money and needed to come up with an inexpensive option for Christmas. We have 8 nephews and nieces plus about 12-15 adults that we like to give gifts to for Christmas. We also like to get our cheerleaders something, and this year we have 37 of those. So as you can see we were in a bit of a pickle trying to figure out what to do to make it a great Christmas.
One of my friends suggested painting dishes. So off to Ikea I went. I ended up painting 12 4 piece sets for nieces, nephews, my three kids, and a family friend. I also painted 7 glass plates for the important women in our lives and both sets of parents. To add to that I painted 2 beer mugs and a wine glass. To top it off I painted 37 hot chocolate mugs for my cheerleaders plus 8 additional ones for the level 7,8, and 9 gymnasts at the gym.
Here is a slide show of some of the stuff I painted.
