SALT DOUGH EASTER

Have Liam's friend that is a girl (got to get it right! lol) over next weekend
I have been promising her and her mother that we would do salt dough (they have never done it!!!)

so have been looking for some cute Easter ideas,
check these out...

I just adore these easter salt dough ornies from
Cobble Stone Farm

WHAT TO DO WITH ALL YOUR CHILDS ART WORK???

I have been having a massive clear out this week,
 I am very sentimental, but we have a house full of memories.





I have saved lots of Liam's drawings, they drive me mad but I can't bring myself to through them out.

So I had a light bulb moment, I have scanned them all into the computer
 saved then to a memory card so I can view them on our digital photo frame.

we can see them all, all the time!!!
(then I packed up the drawing and popped them in the loft, so still couldn't get rid of them, Doh!)


Anyway here are the other ideas I came up with to use your children's art work...


I also love the idea of scanning several favourite pieces
reducing them to miniature works of art and displaying them all together in a large frame

LAMBING DAY OUT

We have just return home after a wonderful day,
 watching the lambs being born in the glorious sunshine

I know some of you are thinking why???
but I think it's a fantastic opportunity for children to she these things.

We have been going since Liam was very young,
and I was pleased at his excitement when I said we were going again this weekend.



Liam even got to cuddle a day old lamb.
They're both so cute!

I will post some more pics later. X
