Rainy day idea

Is it raining outside? 
(it has been here...for days and days)

Are your children telling you they are bored?  

Mine are

Well here is something that will keep them busy 

for a little while

years ago my mother had heard that if you go to your local newspaper they will give you the end of the roll of paper....that thing has lasted me 10 years.....

So we start with a big sheet of that paper and have your 

child lay down on the paper and trace them with a pencil and then re-outline with a sharpie....

next it is all up to them....they need to color themselves in....

I'll have to ask my little friend's mom for an updated pic.

I know some of my bigger kids and even I got in on the act and helped her color...it was fun!!  

Can't post anything new yet

I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in a while....but we've had a little glitch....my camera's memory card got accidentally wiped out.....well maybe not accidentally... but my instructions weren't completely understood and hence there are now no pictures on my memory card.  :-(   

Hope to post soon....having a friend recover photos for me.... keep your fingers and toes crossed.

Decorated Flip Flops

So...right now Joann Fabrics they have a lot of their

summer craft stuff on sale....the flip flops were 70% off 

and the stickers

were 50% off...

I told the girls to wipe the flip flop straps with Windex 

to get the oils off,

so the stickers would have a better chance of sticking.

A little bit of a tricky business...getting them straight

Cute!!!

And easy!!!

Cute Fringy T-Shirt

get a t-shirt that is a little bit bigger....

Cut off the collar

Cut the sleeves off 

or leave them on and cut the hem off and

stretch them and make fringe there too...

Mark where you want your fringe to start

(do this by trying on the shirt and marking it

with a pencil)

Start cutting and pulling the strips to stretch them....

they kind of curl up....so cute...

This can be done with thrift store shirts or garage sale shirts...
