Winter Blues

How to beat them?

Crafting can be fun, and usable too! With SPring around the corner and all the Holidays that join it here is a great craft!

You need:
Toilet paper tubes ( or Paper towel tubes) cut into 1 inch circles
I like 6 per person
Tissue paper, magazines, even newsprint! Tear and cut into small pieces
White glue
Paint brushes
small containers

Mix a small amount of glue, 1 - 2 tblsp with a few drips of water and stir.
Paint glue mix in a small area and apply paper in a collage type format covering whole circle. Coat with glue all over. Let dry. These make fun napkin rings for your next dinner! Make enough for guests to take it home!

Valentines

Ok...No one is reading my blog. I am not sure how to correct that but will attempt to get it out there.
Valentines Day is fast approaching. We tend to overthink this day. A simple handmede heart shaped I love you is always the best! For the parent who travels, try sticking pictures in the suitcase!

The older child can make coupons good for free hugs, newspaper retrieval even for a date to watch a sports event on tv! Moms and Dads, even grandparents love these gifts. They are inexpensive and best of all, straight from the heart!
