Count down Calendar

We created an advent calendar today, counting down the day until school starts. She is so anxious to get started hopefully this will help her see how many more day as well as other things we have going on. First I had her draw a big apple tree while I cut the apples. She cut the leaves for the apples while I glued the all together. I wrote the numbers on the apples and ended it with one special green apples which represents the day we start school! As well as the numbers on the apples, I wrote other things we have going on. She gets to take one apple down a day. She was pretty proud of her project!


Two more weeks....

Kaitlyn's First Krafty Tutorial!

Kaitlyn loves making cards. She usually just makes them for me, or Ken or her penpal. I was making a bunch of Christmas cards and she wanted to as well. So I told her she could make cards for her friends at school. She loved the idea! So here is her card tutorial:
1) Have mom cut the card bases 2x3 and the patterned paper just shy of 2x3
2) Adhere patterned paper to front of card base


3) Admire all your hard work!

4)Cut and adhere triangle's (to look like trees) to the front, back inside, where ever the heck you want to!

5)Stamp Sentiment on inside of card (without getting all inky)

6)Write the name of who it goes to, and sign your name


7) Proudly give them away at school to all your friends! Hope they enjoyed them as much as she enjoyed making them!
