Reminder of the Important Things in Life

As I went to let the dogs out this morning, I noticed something odd. The toy that Little Man threw in the pool yesterday caught my eye. There sitting on top was the cutest thing! It was a frog sitting there- just hanging on for dear life. I took some pictures and gently lifted it out to safety. I think that was a subtle reminder for me to keep taking notice of other things in life and not always focus on myself. Keep looking for others in need and be there for them- to help them.

Quilled Pointe Shoe

My daughter took Pointe this year at dance and being the end of the year, I wanted to make a special thank you card for the staff. I drew the outline for the shoe and then filled the spaces with 1/8 width quilling paper.

Another Ornament for Christmas

I found some more ornaments in my closet of craft stuff while cleaning this summer. Obviously my cleaning didn't get very far being so delighted with my new discovery! I found a cute clip art a while back of some holly leaves, so I thought about how I could do it inside the ornament. After a few minutes, I was ready to start. After gluing two leaves together, I gently pushed them inside. I then used a plastic butter knife to keep them lying flat and let them dry. I then added the third leaf.
