Mommy Daughter Craft Time

Since Miss M was little I have always let her play with my craft things. She has created many cute scrap book pages with my left overs and what ever other art things she could come up with. SO it should be no surprise to me that she loves to make cards! And I think she does a pretty swell job at it too.

Miss M created this cute Friends card by once again playing with my left over scraps. I thought the idea was so cute I had to make my own! We have had several more late night craft nights and look forward to MANY MORE!!

A little of this A little of that


Just some of the crafty things I have been up to lately. The cards were for K's Japanese class. The hair bows were for a birthday gift and just for fun.

On My Wish List

Now that I have FINALLY started using my Sizzix side kick (thank you Mostess Mommy) I now would love more accessories to go with it. I wouldn't mind a Big shot now too! I took a little visit to Sizzix.com and saw that they have a Hello kitty big shot!
I have always loved Hello Kitty and now Miss M loves HK too.
Found here and there are even cute die cuts too. These are kind of cute too (click HERE).



anyway - super fun. I like "window shopping" some day I will have that big wonderful craft room.

What else we have been up to


Not only am I a bit addicted to the silly farm town game on Face Book, but just about every evening after we put the girls in bed, Keenan sits at the dinning room table to study and Jesica and I pull out the crafts. At first she wasn't so sure about making cards but as you can see she has become quite the little card making (her's are the safari collage). I've had this knack for showing my sisters how to do things and then they just run with it. I love her cute cards! To make me feel better she said, "Um I make 4-8 cards a night and you have done over 20." Ok so I am a little bit faster at making them, but I think that we both make pretty cute cards! Plus it's fun to watch all our Tivo'd shows while we make our crafts. Sometimes we stay up way to late, but I guess we are trying to get it all in before her baby comes.

I have also been making more hair clips for the girls. Now that Miss A finally has hair long enough to put pony tails in its fun to add cute hair bows. (she has started to leave them in a little longer too!) And with all the fun bow choices, I don't mind that Miss M wants her hair done in a pony tail everyday. I even enjoy adding one to my pony tail.

Keenan is doing great in school and really enjoys it. He is almost done with his CNA 10 week course, then he start the fall classes. He also really enjoys is Japanese language class he decided to take. I am very proud of him and what he is accomplishing!

So Glad I have Little Girls


So that I can make Cute things like this for them
AHH, and I am obsessed,
I LOVE making these hair clips!
(nothing against little boys... it's just, how sad would it be if I had little boys and made them wear all these hair clips!)


(the cute red and green polka-dots were made by my Mother-in-law SO CUTE!)

I want to point out, the dragon fly clips (under the orange bow clip) Miss M made those. She is very proud of her self. And I must say, she is mean with a glue gun!

Also, I have found time to make some of these.
Wish I would have thought to take pictures of the ones I just gave away...


It's a good feeling to have a hobby that helps me relax.
hmmm, what to pick up next. Maybe I should try that Sizzix machine I've never used.
Or how about that sewing machine I've used less than a handful of times...

I Heart Valentine's


Actually, I think I heart holidays. I really like to decorate for them all.
This year Miss M is REALLY into Valentine's. She goes into my or rather, OUR craft room and makes some everyday.

* She does spell Mommy with an EY, it's her new thing, it's more fancy that way. And after discovering that her name comes from Bob Marley, she has started to sign things,
Love, Bob*


Today, I got this in the mail!
(and Miss M got a CUTE dress from Gymboree - I'll have to get pics of her in it)

thanks mom!!
When Miss A woke up from her nap and saw it. She was all squeals of delight!
"oh gook MommAH, gook it, gook it"
(I am MommAH, and Miss M is ma-ma)

I wish I would have gotten her reaction on video. The other thing I wish I would have recorded today - Miss A discovered my maxi pads. Unwrapped a bunch and stuck them all over herself.
It really was picture worthy!

And
today as I was catching up on my goggle reader
(because it is too stinkin' cold to go and do anything!)
I saw some cute Valentine's stuff...

If I had another baby I would want it to be born in February.
and I would make things like this
