We're making cupcakes (with sprinkles) and homemade playdough (scented and dyed with kool-aid) and we're crafting like crazy.
Don't you want to come over?
Alfredo's feeling so much better and we are celebrating that with lots of fun. He's napping now but we whipped up the cupcakes before he went down (with promises of frosting fun and taste-testing when he wakes up!)
While he's napping, I'm working on a swap project and having so much fun with wallpaper Karla gifted me at Silver Bella and angelina fibers (which you can get here). The style of the swap is vintage so I decided to sew an antique lace overlay over the shimmery angelina fibers. These photos don't do them justice...I love how it turned out.
And when we're done with the cupcakes and playdough fun, we're going to make these into turkeys!
I'll show you when we're done. Don't they look like fun already? If you want to play along, it's just as easy as it looks. Trace your little one's hand and cut that shape out of patterned scrapbook paper...then grab a handful of googly eyes, little orange triangles and little red ovals and meet us back here.

Amy,
you both are living the good life. I DO want to come over. I miss those days with my children, they are all grown up now. We were very crafty and both kids are now creative and think outside the box as young adults. You are forming a wonderful boy. How lucky he is to have you in his life!

Amy, Do want you to know I am planing on the matchbox. I ordered a little supply and it's not here yet...but we still have time! Hope it will come tomorrow! The thoughts are all in my head...
Classy papers for your turkeys. I love it that Alfredo gets to use the "good supplies."
Just popped in to see what you were up to and to say.....
Happy Thanksgiving!
