    will remember this for next year though
    Happy to be back with the Greenies

    Obviously I did the glitter glue bit, but for the footprints I just sat her in the high chair, tickled her toes with a paintbrush and pressed the canvas to it

    I did these yesterday for my christmas cards from los. The babies sat in the highchair whilst I painted their feet - the they had fun with sequins and bits to stick on.

    Love the idea. will remember this one.

    Im doing calanders with hand prints, they are taking one home for parents and Ive found out how many grandparents each have and plan to send them with enough for them too - tho for one mindee thats 7 houses of granparents!

    was gonna try hand paint with the baby 5 mths but actually I think footprints maybe easier
