We made a fun art project this week. I'm very excited about it!  Jessy got to paint for the first time. The funny part is, she didn't like it at first on her hands (the original thought was fingerpainting until that made her hands dirty) so we switched to a brush.  I did hold her up in front of the mirror before sticking her in the shower... she cried.



You just need a 12x12 canvas
Brushes or sponges
Washable Crayola finger paints
Vinyl Stickers

You can get the vinyl sayings at most craft stores or cut your own if you have a cutter/printer.  I had her do her masterpiece and when it was completely dry placed the vinyl.  I'm going over it with a polyurethane coat to protect it.

Weekend Recap - Last Day for the Beauty Bundle Giveaway

We had a great weekend.  We actually got a date night which was awesome.  I love having a reason to take the time to do my hair and makeup.  We checked out a new restaurant in town, had some great food.  Of course watched some football yesterday (Go Hawks!)

And you can bet the makeup I'm wearing is the same stuff we're giving away this week... Make sure you've entered HERE.


I finished up a few projects that I had been working on.  I made a feather wreath for Baby J and she loves it!  She points to it every time she walks in her room. I love how it turned out... unfortunately the pictures just don't do it justice.  I also made a kissing ball, I just haven't found a place to put it yet.



The feather wreath is so easy to make.  Just get two boas and a foam floral ring.  I used a 12 inch size. Hot glued one end and wrapped!  So easy.  After Christmas I'll just switch up the ribbon and leave it in her room. After all shouldn't every girl have a feather wreath?


The kissing ball and foam ball (Mine was 4.5 inches) and hot glue moss onto it.  So simple its ridiculous. I attached the ribbon using a paper clip. Just made it a U shape and poked it into the foam.

And of course we made some Christmas cookies while daddy was away at a meeting.  I gave her the eggs to play with.  What?  OK so maybe not the best idea but I like having my girl be able to learn by doing and what's a better way to learn than crashing two eggs together?  You should have seen her face...



Hope you have a great week!
