Fall Bouquet

Beautiful Fall "Pumpkin" Bouquet

My niece Terri made this really cute bouquet for her child's

kindergarten teacher....

So....you take a pumpkin pie pumpkin and cut a hole a 

little bigger than the soup can you are going to put inside

 (like the vase..)

empty all the "stuffin" out of your pumpkin

and slide your can in....

put a little water and 

add your fresh fall flowers....beautiful!!

Thank you Terri!

Color Matching and Motor Skills

This is a great way to combine color matching 

and working on your little ones motor skills.
Probably for ages 2-6 

Get all your supplies ready...

paint swatches from your local hardware store (2 each),

a glue stick, clothes pins from the dollar store, and 

scissors

take one of the cards and on each section draw

the outline of your clothes pin top and bottom 

and cut them out and then glue the 

pieces to the top and bottom of the clothes pin

my little friend Phoebe had so much fun pinching the clothes pins

Nifty Mail Box

Ease the travel woes for someone you love

You know how when you come home from vacation and

there is a stack of mail the size of Mount Rushmore...

Well my niece just made this wonderful little 

solution for my sister and her husband.

All the mail was sorted by the person it was addressed to....

so they didn't have to do the sorting. 

Each bundle was tied with a pretty ribbon and there were

little treats in there to make going through the mail more enjoyable.

Heather, used an old shoe box that she covered with pretty material 

to make it special...

I love this idea and wish I was ....first ....going somewhere wonderfully warm and exotic

and second.....I wish someone would do this for me when I return...   ;-)
