Happenings--

We’ve been working on all kinds of projects around here. I think the warm weather does that…the weather is pretty and it stirs up ideas and energy.
I’ve found some really great “thrift store” junking treasures. I’ve wanted Jaxon to have wooden toys…like blocks and cars etc. (As if we don't have ENOUGH TOYS already!!!) I thought about slowly building up his collection and “lo-and-behold” I found him all sorts of treasures there other day. For dirt cheap!!!! But of course…I had to wash them to get possible germs off! Ha ha!

The wood appears wet…because it had just been washed and partially dried! And yes here they are…drying after a good scrubbing!!

This little doll/stacker is his favorite. He takes all the pieces off and then puts them on again. Except we had to take the smaller red pieces away…they seemed a little small and a possible choking hazard. She only has one “piggy-tail!”

This one was just too cute…we had one growing up and he loves to pretend he’s talking on the phone!

I have no idea what I’ll use them for. Probably storage containers. Jax thinks they are fun toys!

Cute Modge Podge Mother’s Day Gift…

My SIL came over and we made these sweet, cute canisters for our MIL. She bought the set at Hobby Lobby (50% off this week) and printed random pics of all the grand-babies to use.

We glued each pic with Modge Podge...and then went over each canister with a few layers to seal and protect.

They are soooo dang cute!  You could also paint labels such as "Flour, Sugar or Tea" and my SIL even thought about labeling them "Cookies, Candy and Kisses." And maybe even some POLKA DOTS! There are so many ways to personalize a project like this! This is an easy project…and a great Mother's day gift! Especially for "Grandmother" Mother's Day gifts!!
