So as I mentioned the Treasure Hunt proved to be so much fun that there were a couple of girls in our family who did not want to miss out on anything, so we started a family one that they could be a part of, which over the years has also grown to include more family and friends.
For 2011 the Family Treasure Hunt list was:
1. Stripes
2. Bunting
3. Cupcake
4. Elephant
5. Paper Project
6. Felt
7. Scandinavian
8. Forest Friend
9. Gingerbread
10. Something Vintage
11. Reindeer
12. Camel
So as before, I will begin by showing you the gifts I made...

This is a little Brooch and I also included a whole heap of felt flowers which I cut out on the Ezy Press die cutting machine thingy that she can use for her own embellishments.

This is soo cute, I just love him. It is a pattern in the Scandinavian Stitches book by Clare Youngs - I really like her style and have three of her books.

Pattern by Pauline McArthur was in Homespun
And...
Something Camel coloured. ( that would be the brownish bit on the back )
I asked Annie if she would like an actual Camel or something Camel coloured or both?
And she said " Is that a trick question?"
