    Nick wanted a race track that cars could be side by side and one that didn't fall apart all the time. So I made him one. It will set on a child's card table.

    2013 tree ornaments. Trying to teach granddaughter that all spiders are not bad spiders. It's really fun each year to look back at how the kids have grown and of course remember some fun and silly times as the tree is decorated.

    You are SO creative Donna!

    I LOVE the racetrack. My grandson would love it too!

    And the ornaments are just precious! You've actually given me an idea for the ornament I want to make out of my son's picture....the one I posted where he's garbed in that balloon Christmas tree? I've been trying to figure out how to turn that into an ornament without reducing its size to fit into a regular ornament frame, so that you can't even see the detail of the tree!

    I'll just cut around it so it's a tree shape, laminate it, and hang it on the tree that way! Thanks!!

    Donna your talents are never ending. Nick is going to be delighted with his race track and those ornaments are really something special. If I were an arachnophobe then I'm sure you could cure me with the one you made for your granddaughter. :-D

    The racetrack came out great. I bet his eyes will light up when he sees it.
    Cute ornaments... even the spiderweb one :stew2:

    Well done, Donna.

    Nick is one fortunate young fellow.

    Super like the 'spider lesson'.
