Magnet Boards

I haven't been busy blogging, but I have been busy!! This was a lot bigger job than I ever expected. Even though it is VERY active, I think I like the idea of all of these smiling faces on the wall as I sit here at the computer. We'll see if I get used to it. Organizing "our old office" into "our new office" was a lot bigger physical and emotional drain than I ever expected, but I think we are happy with how it all came together.

Halloween Projects

Even though I've been pretty busy, when I saw these cute ideas, I had to try them! I have one more in the works but am going about it very slowly...trying to keep up with the other things in life:)
These are the old spaghetti jars I covered in tissue paper and had the kids help put faces on. We put tea lights in them and Max and London LOVE lighting them up and eating around them at dinner. Ah, the little things:)


Then these are Ghost bean bags I made for Max's class Halloween party. I have to make a cardboard haunted house to go with it, but I think the kids will love it. SO easy to make and something I can reuse each year. Or just leave with the teacher. I'm running out of space in my house.

Hoppy Easter!

My friend helped me touch up the edges of the paper with some "chalk dust" and then she showed me how to embellish with buttons and ribbons and flowers. Makes ALL the difference I think:)

I had a little trouble with the scissors....

I couldn't wait to get started on the fabric mom sent me! Of course, I totally Charlie Browned the skirt I was making and it ended up as this dress. Please PLEASE don't look too closely at it...


By the way, getting a picture of this girl is quite impossible. Not only does she RUN away, she ZIGZAGS as she runs!!
