Colorful Coffee Filter Heart wreaths.- Simple craft post

Who says Coffee filters are just for packing coffee grinds in... This simple, colorful, and fun craft is great for all. “Creativity is contagious. Pass it on.” — Albert Einstein Materials needed: -Coffee filters -Round plastic lid (I actually used a plastic lid for the back of our wreath). You can also use cardboard.  -Scissors -Paper (this will be used for creating your hearts). -Tape -Paint (we used watercolor paint). Start off with gathering your coffee filters.  You'll want to tape off the bottom of each coffee filter. Doing this will actually give it some shape.  Next, apply paint to each coffee filter. I found that using watercolor paint made it easier to apply paint on each filter. Next, take each filter and tape it to your round plastic/cardboard piece.  If you are wanting hearts on your wreath, you'll want to take some paper and create hearts. Paint them, and also you can add some glitter.- This is optional. 

Sweet little hearts garland.- A simple craft post.

We love art in our home.  Creating art and displaying art. This simple craft project is fun for all ages. Materials needed: -paper -watercolor paints -water -scissors -tape -heart shape cut out (I actually used a cookie cutter to trace my heart). - sewing needle -thread (I used two colors). First, start off with your paper and watercolor.  Create your art. I used a variety of colors. I wanted soft colors. So I went with light purple, pink, and a lighter blue.   Remember to have fun with it.- You can make stripes, dots, and much more.  Once you are finished, allow some time for your art to completely dry before moving on to the next step. Next, you'll want to grab your heart shape cut out, or a heart-shaped cookie cutter. You can also use a heart stencil for this project. I had a heart-shaped cookie cutter, and figured that would do the job!  Trace a few hearts over your watercolor art, and once you have done that,

Think Positive. -Replacing negative thoughts with positive thoughts.

Someone says you can't achieve your dreams Oh yes, you can! Let me let you in on a little secret...you can do anything and everything you put your mind to! There's no need to prove anything to anyone. - But always remember you matter, and so do your dreams. Go chase your dreams!  So you think you don't matter You sure do matter!  You are here on this earth for a reason. -Get out there, and shine!  You want to try something new, but you think it may be too challenging Give it a try. Honestly, you won't know if it's challenging unless you try. Hey, and remember a little challenge is good for us. - Take on that new challenge.  You're not pretty enough To who? Remember this, you are beautiful, inside and out. Try this, take a few sticky notes and write something positive about yourself on each of those notes.  Place them on your mirror. Each day read one of them. Soon, you'll see just how much those things matter. You are absolut

May we always smile.

I'm finding more time to rejoice in simple moments. So much has been going on lately. This month my husband and I will be celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary.- We're both very happy and amazed at how much things have changed over time. Our family has grown. -More laughter, hugs, kisses, and more time to make beautiful memories.  This month also marks one year of a close friend's passing.- It actually is still very hard. I'm finding that if I think of all the happy memories, and her positive outlook on life, it makes things easier. I think about her often. - She was beautiful inside and out. I've been staying busy.  We're currently going over our weather unit study. Our daughter seems to be enjoying her time learning about clouds, rainbows, wind, and all the other elements of weather. Our little sweet pea has been coloring and exploring books, and play dough. Her two top teeth just recentl
