E's Valentines

I've said it before, and I'm sure I will say it again...I'm addicted to Pinterest! I saw so many cute ideas for candy-free valentines, I had to try it with E. I gave him a few options of toys/items to give all his friends, and OF COURSE he chose cars (don't know why i bothered, as i knew this was going to be the answer). But, I love his thoughtfulness - he didn't think the girls would like cars. So I asked him what he thought they would like, and his answer was hair bows :)

A friend made these absolutely FABULOUS gift bag tags! She is a wizard in PhotoShop!!!

E helped put all the items in the bags, and then my friend's 17month old daughter helped me staple the tags on them while he wrote his name on the back (yep, he's a lefty!).

I think they came out perfect!  Other than the picture loading sideways :/

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day!

Sight Word Search

E, my 'godson', discovered my word search book a few weeks ago. Every week when I pick him up from school, he looks in the book, tries to find a word, and gets discouraged. So...I decided to make him his very own word search book, using the sight words his teacher sent home.

First, I created 2 tables per page. It was the first time using Google Docs, so I think they turned out ok, considering.

Next, I cut each page down the middle, and stapled together to make the book! (don't know why the picture loaded sideways, but this is my first time blogging :/)

I hope he likes it! If he does, I will make more with themes - colors, written numbers, dinosaurs (his FAVORITE!!), etc.

New Beginning

Welcome!

I have joined the ranks of Pinterest addicts, and in order to upload some of my ideas, this blog was born.  I am not a mother, photographer, or writer. My experience with children is limited (but blessed) to 3 years at a daycare, and 6 years (as of today) watching a friend's son.  But hopefully you will find some of these projects useful.

Thank you,
Liz
