Picture Puzzle

I found a really cute craft idea on http://familyfun.go.com. The idea is to make puzzles by taping craft sticks together and having your child draw a picture on them. When you untape the craft sticks, you have a new puzzle. Well, Brynnlee is more of an abstract artist. You really have to look hard to figure out what she has drawn. But I really wanted to make these cute puzzles, so I decided to use some cute pictures I took a few weeks ago. It was really easy, and they turned out to be very cute. Plus, Brynnlee likes to play with them!

Table Makeover

I love when a project turns out just the way I want it to! I bought this table at a second-hand store in Colorado Springs and finally finished it here in Okinawa. I think Brynnlee and Pressley will enjoy it.

Christmas Tree Craft

I got this cute Christmas Tree craft from Kids Craft Weekly. I thought it would be a cute simple craft for Brynnlee, and I was right! All I did was cut green and red card stock in to several triangles, and then we colored on them. Finally, I attached them to clothes pins, and we ended up with cute trees.

Kevin, Brynnlee, and I had fun making these little guys. And now our home has even more Christmas Spirit!

Brynnlee's Play Date

Today Brynnlee hosted her very first play date. We invited the Rogers over for a bit of fun. They were nice enough to invite us over to play, so we wanted to return the favor. We had a fun time with lunch, a snowman cotton ball craft, and a little bit of playing with Brynnlee's toys. I think we had a pretty good time for trying to get two two-year-olds to play together! I forgot to take pictures, but here is one of Brynnlee's snowman.

Sometimes I Make Stuff....

I am not very creative. Oh how I wish I were. I love to look at the craft and food blogs for great ideas. And even when I follow their instructions or stumble across a good idea, I often bumble it. But every once in awhile, I do create something pretty cute. Here are a few crafts I have made in the last month.
