Notebook covers with craft paper


My children wanted to cover tablets and have their very own notebook.  So I let them chose and design it.  You can find some ideas here.

 As for me I use modge podge or double stick tape.
Have fun!

Child's cape

I made this Captain America cape for my son since we could not find the red one that you can obviously see we have found.

Here is the helpful site that I followed to make it.  It was so easy and simple.  I made mine double sided and used snaps for the connection.

More on my Garden

Pinneaples
Pinneaples take several years to fruit.  Mine finally have a flower coming out.  Yay!

My compost box/box garden
It was doing so well it ended up being my box garden.  Anything I grow in it goes wild.  The Hawaiian chili pepper plant took off and I have too many for my taste buds.  The Kalo is also taking root and I harvested some leaves already and made a beef stew.

(M-ala: means garden)

New Box Garden
Since my previous box garden did so well, minus the bugs, I decided one more would be great.  This time I have poison for the bugs.  But the way our yard is there is no flat surface.  So my husband built me a beautiful rock wall from the rocks in the yard after digging out the grass and made a wall.  He is great!

New Compost
And since the box compost became the box garden, we decided to invest in a real compost and we love it.  There is no back log of compost able material anymore.  Our worms are nice and fat.

Floor do over

We excitedly ripped out the carpet.  We had five days to get it all done to surprise my mom.  this would be her Christmas gift.

My kids loved the new big space to play in.

And since the carpet was out, we decided to fix the leaky roof too and change out the drywall.

So here is the new drywall.

The new floor before we put everything back in.

It was so easy and fast.  We used the no glue flooring.  All you need is double stick tape.
So easy and fast. My mom loved her surprise and it is much easier to clean the kids mess after each meal.

What I have been up to!?

 I haven't been up to much according to my pics.  But I did make my kids Halloween costumes and crafts for my primary children and Faith in God girls.  Even threw them a party.


But by far the greatest thing I did was have this bundle of joy.  He was born Dec. 4th at 8lbs 8 1/2oz and 21 1/2in.

It's a boy!

That about sums it up.

After which we redid our dinning room floors.  To be viewed in another post.
