Making it special

Making it special...it does not have to take hours and hours. I cut my boys toast with a heart cookie cutter. I spread lots of butter and added a few heart sprinkles.

"Oh, Mom, that is so cool."

We started the day out with LOVE.

And isn't that what it is all about...Love!

What simple things have you done to add a bit of LOVE to someones day?

What to say

"I just wanted to thank you for being there for me"

Can you think of anyone you know who may need a bit of encouragement. Grab a pen and card and write them a note thanking them for being part of your life.

How about sending a card to someone for no other reason than to let them know how special you think they are?
Brag about them.

Winter Birch Trees

I recently found a great blog Art Projects for Kids

We just finished our Winter Birch Trees and are ready to share with you.
 We used canvas...painters tape and blue craft paint.
Tape a border around the edge and design your trees using the tape. Use strips to make branches. Add a moon or a star.
 Paint over the tape. To add texture, sprinkle salt on the top of the paint while still wet. Let dry. We let ours dry over night.

 Rub the salt off the picture and carefully peel off the tape.

We enjoyed this project. 
Have fun creating!
