Fairy Gardens

Punky Scraps had a scrapbooking challenge to use this picture.

I decided to scrap one of the weekly crafts we do with the kids.  This week we had made Fairy Gardens for our yard.

I used the picture as inspiration for the layering, the colorful dots, and the circles stitching.  Be sure to go to Punky Scraps and see all the layouts created.

Instagram Friday

This is some of my week Instagram style.  I am linking this up to the Instagram Friday linky party in the sidebar.

 I worked from home yesterday, and Brookie worked hard all morning taking care of this little guy.  I love that she loves her babies so much.  

 I found this little beauty while I was out for a walk.  I couldn't help but get a pic.

 My hubby and I have started a new morning ritual.  We get up about 20 minutes earlier than we used to, so we can sit and drink some coffee and talk before we head out for the day.  It is becoming one of my favorite times of day.

Brookie (our youngest) asked Memphis (our oldest) to make her a pink rabbit before he left for school on Monday.  This is what he came up with.

Toilet Paper Roll Owls

I saw these really cute owls in Family Fun Magazine, and knew we had to make them.  

 My 3 kiddos designed, cut, and colored.  I worked the hot glue gun.

 My oldest didn't like the idea of making an owl, so he came up with his own idea.  A bat.  He knew Dad needed to spray paint his pumpkin (I'll try to show you the completed pumpkin tomorrow), so he asked him to spray paint his toilet paper roll black for him.

 From left to right:

My 7 year old son's bat.

My 2 year old daughter's owl (with lots of help from me).

Mine (I couldn't let them have all the fun).
