FREE WOODWORKING CLASS' FOR LIAM

We have just been to our local B&Q as they are having "kids can do it" class'.

This week he made a set of domino's and box.

He was insistent that "he" could do it and he did!

This is the first time Liam has attempted any wood working, and he made a fabulous job too.

What a great opportunity to try something new, and be let loose with a saw LOL.

And the best part is the two hour classes are FREE!
The aim is to give the children a head start on skills they may need in later life, that are no longer taught in schools. I picked up alot also!

Key holder next week, then apple bird feeder, mug tree and magazine holder.

Have fun with your family!!!



VALENTINES TRADITION

This is a tradition we have done for a few years now,

 the photo's below are of the first year we did it,

I think Liam was five or six.

I cut out lots of red hearts out (big enough to write something on them)

I leave the stack on the landing with a pen.

Then when Liam is going to bed he writes something he loves about me on a heart and sticks it to my door.

Then when I go to bed I write something I love about him and put it on his door.

The messages are so sweet....

CHRISTMAS SALT DOUGH ORNAMENTS

I have just been uploading photo's for the Valetines treat bags

and noticed I had some of the Christmas salt dough still on the camera, my bad.

We have got some more, will get them out and share soon

MAKE YOUR OWN DOORWAY PUPPET THEATRE

I have been asked to make a puppet theatre for a friends child.

They live in a small house so I thought a doorway theatre may be the best option.

They are hung by using cutain tension rods so no marks on your door frames.

I love these colours....



and matching case.... nice touch!

I love dandee's idea of them lying on the floor so they can use other props and not have to hold everything.

My friend has a toddler also, so he could have a play too, but will adapt it alittle me thinks.

This makes for a fun family show on a rainy day.

Will post some pics soon!!!

THE FUNNY THINGS THEY SAY - MEMORY JAR

Here's something I wish I had started when Liam was little,

because he has said some really funny things, and I can't remember them afterwards.

 Never the less we are going to start now so we can save these memories that get forgotten.

Children say the funniest things.

Magical thinking

A jar of funny quotes from Liam,

as I can never quite remember exactly what he said that made me laugh.

PIRATE PARTY

Liam had a pirate party for his 5th birthday, and this was my first themed party

here is what we did, plus some extra's for inspiration.....

as I wasn't blogging at the time so didn't think of taking photo's of most things)

I think you have to go for a black, red and white colour scheme, but.....

A black, pink and white looks fab for girlie pirate parties

Now check this out......

PRINTABLE VALENTINES DAY POST IT (STICKY NOTES) LOVE NOTE

I seem to have a thing for post it (stickey notes) at the moment.

When you have the opportunity to leave a little bit of love for someone, anyone, do it.

They will be encouraged to share the love.

You print out the page, and then place a sticky note in each square. (Make sure you center them really well.) Then you run the page through the printer again, and this time, it will print the heart and speech bubble right onto your Post-Its! (You can reuse the page to print more notes on...just add more sticky notes!)

LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND!!!

 

Don't forget to check out my other Post It Notes post's.

2011 CALENDAR - NEW YEAR NEW CALENDAR IDEAS

Each year Liam normally make me a special calendar.

I buy the slip in photo calendars and then he draws a picture for each months theme.....

but this year they haven't sold them :(

So I have had a look around but I am not taken with the massed produced ones.

I have had a look around the web and found some fabulous ideas.....

As you know I love our post it note Christmas Tree and I love this too!

A Post it note (sticky note) calendar (this is made on a notice board,

from real simple magazine.

A human calender

This is fun with a capital F!

I would have to make them alittle longer under the date as I wouldn't want to write on my friends faces. LOL

Blackboard / chalkboard calendar

from etsy.

 This calendar wall decal incorporates a black / chalkboard vinyl that you can write on and erase.

It is applied directly to the wall.

Another blackboard calendar

This is paint onto the wall.

Just add different percentages of white paint to the blackboard paint to achieve the grey tones.

So cute snake

But don't think I could cope with all the lines from dates for appointments crossing over everything else.


We May adapt this to a long snake that goes across a long page and back again,
so I can just have arrows above and below the dates.
