I made these cute binky clips for my binky loving baby. I found the idea and the tutorial here. They are SO simple, that I decided to make a few more to match her different outfits of course. I have also made some for my friends who have had babies. I bought all of my supplies at Ben Franklin Crafts, but have seen them everywhere. I also only used about 13 inches of ribbon instead of 15 like they had suggested, because I didn't like how the binky would drag on the ground sometimes with the ... Read More about Baby Binky Clips
70 Things We Love About You…
When my mother-in-law turned 70, we wanted to give her something a little different. We had all her children, their spouses and her grandchildren write down a list of things that they loved about her. We gathered them together and typed them all up so that we had 70 different things. I typed up each statement and then we cut the paper into 70 strips, each strip containing what was said and by whom. I decorated a brown paper box (found at Robert's) and covered it with scrapbook paper using Mod ... Read More about 70 Things We Love About You…
Love Pillow
We started a new tradition this Valentine's Day at our home. I made a "love pillow" to help the kids do kind but anonyomous things for one another. The rules are that if you find the pillow on your bed, then someone has done something in secret for you.

When you have completed it you put the pillow on their bed. It has been pretty fun ... Read More about Love Pillow

Finger Puppets
A decade ago I made these finger puppets out of felt for my first child to entertain him in church. Although they are a little worse for wear, they have helped us get through many church meetings and have been used by all of my kids. They are so simple to make. I just bought a variety of colors of pre-cut felt squares (from JoAnn's I believe). Then I looked at pictures of cartoon animals to give me some ideas of how to shape the individual animals faces. I cut out 2 upside-down U shapes and ... Read More about Finger Puppets
