Kid's Crafting

It's a fact that kids love to do activities...especially together.  Their creativity comes to life when you get them started and let them go!  While school is out, you can purchase {or make} these fine blank cards and envelopes {usually in the dollar bin!} and the kids can create their own cards and letters to give to loved ones.  You can even show them how to make a mobile for themselves or if they have a baby brother or sister in the house.  Stamps and stickers can also be purchased or made for an extremely low price!  These paper projects make very little mess and is easy to clean up. They will have hours of fun as will you seeing them create and grow...Enjoy!

Materials needed:

~Store-bought envelops and cards {Dollar bin}

~Card stock if hand-made

~Stickers can be purchased by the hundreds in the dollar bin at     Target or Michael's

~Embroidery floss {purchased in bulk is cheap}

~Hole punch

Don't Worry

Happy Mother's Day!

One of the things that good moms do is nurture and care for their children. But often, that care and concern can come with another thing that we all do, whether a mom or not. And that is WORRY.

Worry fills our minds with useless chatter that leaves no room for anything else. When this happens, we can become anxious. Perhaps you may have trouble sleeping that night?  And many times, we create more worry and anxiety ourselves and it begins to snowball.

Be thankful and do what you need to do to change a bad situation but be sure to give that worry up so your mind, heart, and body can rest.

Our Hobbies

We all have hobbies...some possess more than just one.  I love learning, collecting, researching and developing new skills. Some of these skills have proven useful in my career, and some are just for me to enjoy.  Perhaps you collect coins, stamps, or even shoes!  Or maybe for you it's cooking.  Recently, coloring has sparked an interest {even before it was hip}...verything from the quality of the pencils to the paper really makes a difference.  I've seen many of your hobbies {and life} interests here on blog.  And I think our blogs are the root of our hobbies and part of who we are. Here are a few of mine...enjoy!
