February: Valentine's 2010

These simple hearts reflect the Easter Craft we did this year at Keisha's house, which I don't have pictures of. They are simply scrapbook paper cut into heart (or egg) shapes, then folded in half and either SEWN together, or in my case, glued. The ones I sewed together failed to hang straight. These can be all sorts of sizes and colors. Be free.

SUPPLIES:

Scrapbook paper

Scissors

Heart/Egg Shape for tracing

Glue sticks

String

December: Christmas 2008

Christmas Craft was with the family this year. We made these very darling, (very INVOLVED) advent calendars.

Using mini muffin tins, we designed each day with scrapbook paper, stickers, bows, buttons, bells and numbers. Then adhered those 24 calendar days to magnetic sheet. Sticking them on the tin creates a "pocket" inside to hide treats or messages.

This Crafting Day also included out favorite "family treats" from a few individuals. The most memorable, were the pretzel turtles, made with mini pretzels, Rolo's and pecans; then the magical rice puff treats with honey and chocolate. Yum.

SUPPLIES:

Mini-muffin tin

Magnetic sheets (with adhesive on one side)

Scrapbook paper

Circle dye cut (this makes it much easier..)

Decorations (ribbons, buttons, stickers, etc.)
