How To | My Sunshine Music Box

Here is something you can make your little sweetheart for Valentine’s Day, a hand-crank music box placed inside a cute hand-painted wooden box. When my daughter (now 6) was a baby I always sang her “You Are My Sunshine” while I rocked her to sleep. My daughter and I still love to sing this song […]

How To | Painted and Embellished Kid T-shirts

See these two silly kiddles? They think they are so funny, acting all goofy while I try to coerce them to take a nice picture wearing their newly painted t-shirts.

How To | Mother’s Day Sunflower Handprint Card

May 6, 2011 by Alanna George Filed Under: How To, Painting Projects, Spring Projects

How To | Mother’s Day Sunflower Handprint Card

I worked with my kids this week to make this sunflower Mother’s Day card for Grandma from their handprints. I picked up a pack of sunflower seeds to stuff inside the card/picture so that they can be planted in Grandma’s garden. I think Grandma will be reminded of her grandchildren as she watches the sunflowers […]
