Color My World Crayola

Who doesn't love to color? I know I do!  Its peaceful, relaxing, fun, and a great time for kids to learn.

This year was Alyvia's last year of Pre-School.  We have been going to Little Sprouts for 3 years, we love Mrs. Wheeler.  She is a great teacher, friend, and mom.  Over the last three years I have come to know her outside of school, she is now one of my best friends.  I wanted to make her something special for Alyvia's graduation and to celebrate her achievements.  (PJ will attend Little Sprouts as well but not for another year.)  I made her this picture so she could hang it in her class room.

Thanks Mrs. Wheeler-you rock!

Warm and Cozy

Yesterday I went to breakfast and shopping with a good friend, we have not chatted in a while it was very nice to catch up.  We are going to plan a trip to NYC together with some other friends, since I have never been. 

Friday we had a snow day, it was nice to stay warm and cozy with the family for an extra day.  While home and the kids napped I looked up simple projects I could complete.  I found this really cool scarf on Martha Stewart.com called the "No Knit Scarf"...I could do that.  Here is the link: http://www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/yarn-crafts  Off to Joann's I went, I got a big fluffy pile of cream colored yarn.  Last night with my hubby at the CU basketball game and the kids in bed I went to work.  It was really easy! I am really happy with it, I am sure there are things that I would change if I did it again, but for a first time-go me!

The supplies (doesnt the yarn look warm!)

I taped it to my mat to keep it steady and tight.

All done, very cool!

Happy Sunday,
