Decorating for Easter…better late than never!

In the last couple days my crafty side came peeking through.  It’s been hiding for a couple months now.  I blame the pregnancy because it’s really not like me to avoid my sewing machine or anything else creative.  Especially my camera.  But it happened.  In that time I have organized the heck out of things […]

Valentine Mailboxes

I love making these little holidays special for the girls.  This year, I found the cutest little mailboxes at Target, which are being sold as a Valentine item, but they could be for just about any time!  They were just so adorable.  First, Chloe bought one for Willow.  She brought it home and decorated it […]

God’s Love Heart Banner

This year at church, I was in charge of making the Valentine craft with the kids.  I like for these crafts to be something the parents actually want to put out each year  to decorate with or at least don’t want to toss in the garbage can.  I found a couple different ideas and put […]

Time Out

I would love to tell you that all of my children are pure angels.  I can’t.  In fact, it seems that lately they are over the top in misbehavior.  I can only assume this is because of Christmas and the craziness that sometimes accompanies this blessed holiday.  I find I am using time outs a […]

Cinnamon Ornaments

I love cinnamon ornaments!  They are so much fun and they smell so yummy!  I remember making them in 4th grade and for some reason I have such a great memory from doing that with my class.  I’ve thought about it here and there since, and this year I found the recipe.  Needless to say, […]

Check out this post, featured this week on the DIY Dreamer! We are always looking for a fun little craft in our house–something that each of my girls can do.  I stumbled across these super cute little turkeys in my search.  I wasn’t really looking for them at the time, just checking out all the […]

Scrapbook Paper Envelopes

I am re-posting this tutorial because these are so great!  This tutorial is so much fun!  And the kids can easily do these.  My girls and I made them recently after I searched our office for envelopes in which to mail some fantastic artwork, but found none.  But what I did have was TONS of scrapbook paper […]

Felt Board Autumn Tree

Felt boards!  Aren’t they fun!?  I used to love them when I was a kid.  My kids love them too although I find I need to keep it interesting.  They prefer their little wooden toys they can hold in their hands.  So, with the changing of the seasons I made some adjustments to their felt […]
