Fall Tree

Another simple no-brainer project...

Trace arm/hand on brown construction paper.

Glue onto white paper (or grey in my case)

Let child fingerprint leaves onto tree with paint.


I

Footprint Ghosts


Pretty simple... white acrylic paint, black cardstock.

Paint feet.

Press on paper carefully.

Draw on face.

Voila!

(I laminated them because I want to keep them around for years)

Lately...

I've been scrapbooking...





Destination: Mars.... Journaling poem from Purple is a Fruit: Parenting poetry from the heart (more here too)

Sometimes I want to put you in a spaceship
and push "Destination: Mars"
and wave goodbye to you my sweet
and pray for those unsuspecting Martians.
But then you smile
and laugh with me.
And I say oh okay
you can stay.
Those Martians don't deserve you anyway.





Oops... my "e" got disconnected.... LOL!
