First Fairy Garden of the Season

I can barely wait to be gardening in full force! It's still too chilly here in Kansas to plant most things, but these pansies should be fine. This is one of the first fairy gardens to "spring" up this year....keep checking back, there are bound to be more (lots more!) to be found out and about.

Rumor has it that my Fairy family in the rock garden will be getting new neighbors this year...a Gnome family is moving in. How exciting! As soon as they get settled in, I'm sure they would love to have their pictures taken!

Our Beautiful Granddaughters

Just a quick "hello", and I wanted to share this wonderful picture of our granddaughters.

They almost look like sisters, but are cousins. Alli is 3yo and Nichole is 1 1/2yo.

I have a busy weekend planned full of crafting! The house will be all mine, since Kevin will be at Guards all weekend. I will post my finished projects next week.

My Easter Planner

Here is my version of an Easter Planner. It's the first time I've made one of these using manila folders, so it's not as elaborate as some I've seen, but none the less...I like it!

Here is a blog with some easy to follow instruction:

My First Rudolph Day!

Well I have been impatiently awaiting this day for a while now! I got to my computer and turned on ChristmasRadio.com, while the daycare kiddos watched Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer before breakfast!

This is the book I flipped through today. Just little quotes and what-nots about Christmas traditions and stories.

These are the simple paper plate wreaths the kids and I made today. We decorated them with fun foam holly leaves, red pom pom berries, and finished off with a bow. In December when we give these to the parents, I will place a picture of each child in them.

Welcome and Enjoy!!

These are two of the "taggie blankies" I have made.

A simple, quick and rewarding project. These are the perfect

size for little hands to snuggle. The loops are handy for

attaching "link-a-doos" and small toys to.

Here are two "EyeSpy" bags. Another simple project using

two like sizes of felt, clear vinyl, beanbag filling and small

objects to hide inside the bags. This will keep the little ones

busy in the car, at the Dr.'s office or just at home.

Here we have the Valentine's Day goody bags I made

up for the Daycare kiddos. Breakfast for the day was

some yummy yum yum Valentine cinnamon rolls.

I hope everyone will be inspired by some of my creations.

I love to create gifts for others to enjoy.
