Every year we go to an Apple orchard and we pick out our pumpkins. We go as a family and it is so much fun! We even take Grandma. After I get home I make a small scrapbook of the event. That way every year we have something to look at and see how the kids have grown

Time for winter to arrive and your stuck in your house and there is nothing to do. Time to learn some new things. I got started because my friend sent me information on making some flowers out of yarn so I sat there all day and night to get this figured out an this is what I ended up with. Flowers that you can use on bibs, scrapbooking, paper clips, hats and anything else that you can imagine. Here are some of my works of art. You can always count on a friend to get you in to something.

You and your kids

Love to also make bracelets and necklaces ect. So sometime my daughter and I make some for teachers, friends, family , or any one that would like one. Here are some fun ones. You can use the clasp or the ones you can just pull on.

There are going to be those times when you need to give a baby gift and you want something that is more personable. Here is a little something for anyone who is learning and wants to make it just for that person. Go to any store that has material and get some a material that you like out of paper make your own design of how big you would like it. Cut it out and make sure to make slits at the neck line and any corners that you have before you sew it inside out. Turn it right side out and stitch it closed. Add some velcro and stitch it When your done you will have something that is made just by you. There is nothing more special at a baby shower than to get something from someone that thought about you and your baby

It is that time of year when you want to add something fun to the many things that you give to your childs school teacher or that special person. I used the things that are around my house and made this fun bucket. I used a hot cocoa container, black paper, a card that was cut out like a haunted house, ribbon and plastic ghost and pumpkins that were glued all around. Then you just add your special things to the inside and make it yours.
