It’s official – we have had snow! I just love the first snow. It means that Christmas is on it’s way (or Halloween, depending on the year … but this year – Christmas!) I wrote about Christmas crafts for kids last year that are super cute and fun for little ones to make. This year…
Birch Winter Tree Art Project
I was given some lovely magazines lately – and I have really been enjoying them. But, like anything that stays in my hands too long, one of those magazines has been sacrificed to our crafting. This time as a birch winter tree art project! I must say, this winter art project turned out even better…
