Mother's Day is coming...

Yep... Mother's day is coming. Michaels has had events each night, this week, for free craft projects. I brought home a set for my kids to do, from the Sunday evening craft. It's a ceramic plate with spaces on the edge for ribbon to thread. It has a plastic cover sheet to put over a photo in the center of the plate.
Anyhoo... you might want to check into your local Michaels, with a kiddo you know. :)

I was sent an email with a blog I should check out. The blog is...

Just the best idea for Meghan to make something for the grandmas in her life. I did handprints craft often, when the kids were younger. I even did a scrapbook layout with just their handprints and no photos. I can now use one of those projects as a pattern for this art idea.

My thought is to teach Meghan a few stitch techniques. I already taught her a basic running stitch. (She made a purse and than stitched the SB layout for that too)
You can check that out here... (bottom photo of this blog post)

Anyhoo... I should get off and go help Sean clean out the gutters. The rain (downpours) have filled our gutters with crap (winter cleanout not done yet too), and now the kitchen ceiling has water damage. We think the gutter is allowing water to backup and soak the roofing materials. UGH!
