Last Minute School Project

My grandaugher waited until the night before to tell us that she had a project due for school, so mom, grandma, and auntie all pitched in and helped her come up with ideas for her covered wagon, she did most of the work and together she was able to turn her project in the next day.

 

Found this while on Pinterst and love it. They are doing it with candy which is great but I would do it with a mixture of candy and non sweet items. The ball would be a great party game or something fun to do on Christmas Eve.

Happy Sunday!!

I have several orders that I should be working but just can't get motivated to go to work. I have spent about 2 hours looking at Pinterest and I found the perfect table and chairs for my dining room/kitchen when I move. 

It's rainy, gloomy, and cold here today, I actually love it but everyone else is missing the sunshine we had for a couple of days. I've been working on new things for the store and I can't wait for you to see the NON-scary monster booboo bags filled with rice in my store http://www.etsy.com/listing/98282842/on-sale-fleece-orange-monster-booboo-bag.

It is so hard for us when our children or grandchildren fall and hurt themselves but keep one or two of these in the freezer for those bumps and bruises and soon tears will turn into laughter.

It was so nice here yesterday we mowed and cleaned the yard, it has been rainy and cold for months but it looks like we are going to have another great day today.
I've also been working on something new for the store, I think it will be great for mothers day, bridesmaid presents, or teacher's gifts. I think they would be great as a birthday party treat bag filled with fun nail polish or make up for an older girl.

I'm visiting my grandkids in New Mexico and having a wonderful time. It is windy, dusty, and allergy season but that's March. I think we are going to dig up the garden and add some top soil so that when its time to plant they will be ready. I found this gardening site on www.pinterest where you enter your zip code and find out what and when you can plant.

Paper Mache Easter Eggs

Found these on Pinterest and fell in love with them, We are going to be making something close and will be adding them to www.itsthesmallthings.etsy.com in the next couple of weeks but thought you might like to try and make some with your children.

I've made a few from the instructions at www.notmartha.org and they turn out really cute, I didn't add the polka dots, just did mine in solid colors.
