Last night I wanted to do something fun with Brittany. So we went up in our craft closet and brought down the finger paints. We must have 8 different colors. We got her tray and she handed them to me one by one and we made a little pallet of colors. It was actually really cute watching her go to town on a piece of aluminium foil. At first she was so careful wiping her fingers each time she used a color. Well then it begin to get wiped on her shirt and paints. Let’s hope the stain remover will help get that out of shirt and paints. She had fun in the process so that makes it that much more adorable.  Read more...

This morning my kids were at each others throats. Brittany and I have not really done anything in a week so I decided that since it was cold outside today would be the perfect time to work on a story with some activities. It is winter and well it feels like winter with it being cold at times. We don’t have much snow though. That is something we have been lacking this winter.

I had to do something with my daughter today. My walls are looking so bare with all my Christmas Crafts that have come down. So today we made two of the hearts. All you need for this craft is vinegar, paper, and colored tissue paper. My daughter kept saying that it was stinky because of the vinegar. She was rather surprised at the magic that happens when you use vinegar with tissue paper. She was so proud of her art work today.

Welcome to Day 24 of the 25 Days of Christmas Crafts. Today’s craft is a really nice keep sake gift that you can hang on the wall all year long. Ours is a little unfinished yet but I wanted you to see it anyway so you can get an idea. I should have made it a little bigger though with a little more space around it so I could have put Britt’s name and year on it. With a small hole in it so I could hang it up.
