Crafting with my Niece

My niece Alyssa loves to craft. She had been asking about using embossing folders and stamps. This summer has been super busy with my first trip to convention and all, but today I was ready to craft with her. She is so easy to craft with. I just pulled out some of my old patterned paper and solid paper for her to use and said go to town.

Cutting paper layers was not Alyssa's favorite part. Guess I won't have someone to do my paper cutting prep, but she did say she would glue stuff for me. I'll have to remember that. I think Alyssa also has some new craft items to add to her birthday and Christmas list. :)

All about me!

Cailynne's first project of the year.  She has to do an 'All About Me' collage and do an oral presentation.  She finished early and has been practicing what she is going to say for the past 2 days.  Did I  mention she just started school this week???!!!

Check out the finished project:

Those crazy socks are so Cailynne!  She pretty much wears crazy socks all the time, they just might be covered up with tennis shoes and pants.

A special moment in Cailynne's life?  Her brother being born.  Awwww...{snif}
