Lately...

Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children. 
-- Charles R. Swindoll

Morning-Creating art.

Sunny day- A stroll through the neighborhood with her lamb

Putumayo Kids- Hooray my Cd arrived! I'm part of a moms-meet group online,
and as one of my rewards, I chose to receive this CD.  It includes some songs from around the world.
So we have been dancing and enjoying our mornings.

Block-building, and some hammering as well.

I've started a new journal. -

Life can sometimes get somewhat hectic. -When it all seems to calm down, and our days seem a little longer, and a bit more peaceful; I enjoy the moments I spend with my family. This year; will be much different from last year. I'm always ready, and happy for a change. It's the cycle of life. 

I've been slacking a little on my blogging. -With sunny days, long walks, clay sculpting, block-building, book reading, and some journal writing.- I'm a little behind.  How have you been spending your time?  

**Thank you to all my lovely readers, I appreciate all of you. Also, I'm so happy that you all enjoyed the printout I provided for pretend Vet play. I'm so glad you all enjoyed it.**

    Hi Stephanie, I love the quote and the photo of your daughter's stroll with little lamb. Your mom's group sound wonderful. I joined a local neighborhood group when my children were younger and I got a lot out of it. The CD sounds fun. It's great that you're enjoying time out in the sun! Enjoy your day.

Easy Floral Decoupage Idea for Faux Pumpkin Display

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a simple and easy floral pumpkin design you can create quickly. Today, we will make a faux floral pumpkin display using decoupage and a few additional designs. I'm reusing a foam pumpkin that I bought at Dollar Tree. If you’re ready, let’s begin creating an easy floral decoupage faux pumpkin display! Quick video tutorial **Materials needed:** - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Floral napkin - Faux pearls - Faux flowers - Craft knife - Scissors - Mod Podge Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin. I used my craft knife to go around the top section, creating a hole at the top. Using a paintbrush, apply acrylic paint to the pumpkin. I chose to paint mine black. Next, use scissors to cut out a few flowers from your napkin. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before cutting out the designs.   Once you have your floral designs cut out, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge to the pumpkin. While the Mod Podge is wet, add the floral napkin c...
