Spring Topiary!

March 15, 2010 By Brandy 25 Comments

  Here is a fun springtime topiary that the kids helped me make this week. We were able to use supplies that we already had from around the house to make it a no cost project. I love those! Supplies: Styrofoam ball, dowel (you can see it has been used for something else before...same with the ball) Easter grass (we used the stuff made from paper) paint pot floral … [Read more...]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

We are the only ones in our family who live in Ohio, or in the Midwest for that matter. ALL of our family lives in the west and in Alaska, so we love making little reminders to send showing how much we love and miss them!

You’ve Got Mail!

January 14, 2010 By Brandy 22 Comments

I saw these cute mailboxes at Target in the $1 section, and with Valentine's Day coming up I thought that the kids would have fun making little notes for each other. The kids love getting mail and now they can send and receive it all the time! They were SOOO excited to make these. They couldn't wait to start getting letters.I told them that we probably wouldn't have time to make them that day. … [Read more...]
