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.

Little Clay Bowls.

Little clay bowls  I created these simple textured clay bowls, and I'd love it if you created some too! Take some clay and mold them into a round bowl shape. I used air-dry clay for this project.  Allow it to dry completely overnight. Then take some paint and mix a few colors together and paint each bowl. I'm using these cute handmade clay bowls to store some of my jewelry in them.   Enjoy~ **Hello to all my readers, and welcome new readers. It's such a pleasure to have you come along on my journey.

Transform your old wooden craft project into an adorable bunny floral arrangement through upcycling. This fun DIY project repurposes old items from a previous craft into something new and beautiful.  Today, I'd love to share how I took my Bunny plaque, which I purchased last year from Dollar Tree, along with a wooden crate box from a previous craft, and created a new display.

I reused my burlap ribbon ...
