The 100th day of school is fast approaching, so Jacey’s teacher gave everyone a project to do. Jacey was supposed to create a collage of 100 items (all of the same item), to celebrate the 100th day of school. This is what we did!
A collage made out of foam–100 pieces in all! A garden and sky-complete with the sun, butterflies & a rainbow. Isn’t it pretty?

Taken with my cell-phone-it actually is more bright & colorful in person!
With Valentine’s Day soon approaching, I’ve been thinking of some cute crafts my girls and I can make. I also want to do something fun and creative for Jacey’s Kindergarten class (that we can do together). Here are a few super cute ideas I have come across. I think we might actually take a trip to the craft store to get ideas as well!
:heart: Hand-Shaped Valentines
:heart: Sweet Spot Hearts
:heart: Valentine Cards
:heart: Ace of Heart Cards
:heart: Valentine Hat
:heart: Crayon Hearts
I will post pics of any projects we do!
Recently, my girls and I made homemade crayons. Well, not 100% home-made, but we made crayons from broken crayons.
This is actually our 2nd attempt. Months ago I made them and used tin foil to line the muffin tin, and didn’t like the way they came out. They just seemed bumpy and weird. This time I bought this tin at a thrift store (to use specifically for this purpose) and just sprayed it with vegetable oil spray. Much better! I also didn’t use any cheap crayons. I got rid of those and only used the broken “good” crayons. That made a huge difference, too.
Here are some pics! It was fun-and the girls love using their multi-colored rainbow crayons! :yes:
I think next, we will try and do different shapes! Maybe find a “heart” muffin tin. Perfect for Valentines Day, too! :heart:
Looking for a way to display those Christmas cards? Here are a few neat ideas….
Creative Card Displays from My Lifetime
Christmas Card Displays from Family Fun
Display Ideas from BH&G
I really like these Ideas:
I also like the idea of displaying them in a basket with a pretty bow!
I am gonna make Christmas stockings for the family! I bought felt, yarn, and all the necessary stuff to create our own personalized stockings. I am going to do the sewing part, but will let Jacey help, too!
Okay, so I am not a “sewing person”…but I can do a little bit of hand sewing with a needle. It’s basically just creating a stitch! We’ll see how it works out. I’ll post pics when i am done with them all!
Here are a couple of links to check out, so that you get an idea of what I’m doing!
This one is an ornament type. Not what I’m making, but the same idea, as far as putting it together.
