Independence Paint

I've wanted to make 4th of July shirts with the kids forever. I found everyone shirts for under $4 bucks! I found several designs online and then let the kids pick, they all picked a different design and they did a great job painting them.

Kathie

I have visit taught Kathie McFarlane for the last 3 years. And I am so glad. She was Sydney's nursery leader and she was always so sweet to her and she just loved my girl. What momma doesn't love someone who is good to their child?? Often Sydney and I go visit her and even when my partner comes, if Syd knows I'm going to Kathie's she wants to go to.

Kathie bought her this little tea set that she can paint and play with. We hadn't even left her house yet when Sydney was asking when we could go back.

Painting her tea set.

We sure love Kathie!!

Sydney crafting

Sydney loves her little friend Bailey Cutler. LOVES her. She kept trying to talk about her, so we worked really hard and now she can say Bay-eee. And she doesn't stop talking about her, asking to play with her... seriously everyday, a hundred times a day she talks about Bailey.
We got this book from the library about Princess best friends and she told me that Bailey was her best friend. At the end of the book they make BFF bracelets. Sydney ran to our cupboard and pulled out the beads and asked to make Bailey a bracelet.

Then she told me I needed to make a surprise (signing) bracelet for her. Haha. We had too much fun though and they turned into necklaces.

Crafting

My cute friend Briana is getting married in a couple months. She was one of my young women once upon a time and now she is my adorable hair dresser. I love her. She asked Heidi to help her make this craft. And Heidi being Mrs. Amazing said- easy breezy--then of course she got it all ready for us to make.
The boards order: Bri, Me, Heidi, Niesha

Craft day :)

Heidi and I got our craft on a while back.  We made these adorable little signs to give away. I love them!

An Early Birthday Craft :)

My Fara friend bought me this adorable craft kit for my birthday! So sweet. And super fun. We spent the day together crafting and I have an adorable decoration to show for it! 

Princess Camp Leftovers

Are so much fun!

Crafting Girls

We had the Cutler kids the other day and Sydney and Bailey had a little crafty/coloring time. :)

 

Christmas China

Another fun idea that I can't take credit for. :) I saw this on my friend's blog.

For FHE I had all of us draw on our own white plates and make Christmas China.

The kids loved it. We'll eat on it Christmas Eve.

Crafts

Heidi & I hosted Bunco together and really it was just a grand excuse for several craft days! :) We made crafts for Bunco, crafts for gifts and crafts to keep :)

And we had lots of fun in the process.

I love this Heidi girl! She can do just about anything with a saw and is a fantastic friend!
