It's all about mom...

With Mother's Day fast approaching, the kiddies and I embarked on yet another journey into "craft corner". Grandma from Ontario gets the first edition, as we have to get it in the mail for a timely arrival. Grammie from Halifax will be next, in time for our get together at her house on the "big day." I have a couple of great craft books that have truly beautiful items in them - it's always exciting to see what we'll try next.

First up – cards. Luckily I have lots of pretty scrapbooking papers leftover from Emma's dollhouse makeover, so that selection went pretty smoothly. I assisted in some cutting out, but for the most part, the kids were on their own to create at will. Minimal fighting ensued over scissors and markers, so we came out pretty unscathed.

Next up – our lovely tissue paper bouquets. All the petals are made from hearts (very appropriate for Mother's Day) so mommy spent her time cutting and cutting... We poked them through some sparkly pipe cleaners, shaped them, added some glitter and leaves and behold... a gorgeous bouquet of flowers for the centrepiece of the day.

Next occasion... Father's Day... Tissue paper tie perhaps?
