From China with Love

Here are the adorable packages that contain our Christmas presents that Heidi put together over in China and sent home with Kylee. Heidi didn't have wrapping paper so the night before Kylee left, Heidi stayed up the WHOLE night sewing and creating alternative packaging for the goodies she was gifting us. She was definately resourceful using leftover fabric from her pillow-sewing projects and clear vinyl and reusable grocery bags from the Jenny Lou grocery store in her neighborhood.

(When my girls were growing up I wanted them to be dancers and seamstresses, neither of my daughters cared too much for either of my aspirations. Cameron actually showed the most interest in sewing but it was mostly to alter his jeans or mend his snowboarding clothes. A few years ago I went to the Bernina sewing machine store with Heidi when she bought her very own really nice Bernina sewing machine... for scrapbooking! So to see her finally sewing actual sewing kind of projects is very rewarding and exciting.)
