Scrapbooking Pages Using Supplies I Have on Hand

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a craft de-stash challenge.  I knew this challenge was the perfect opportunity to motivate myself to finish scrapbooking all those photos I had on hand from this year before my batch of photos arrived from our vacation.

I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing.

      I just know I work so much better with a deadline; I am not a procrastinator unless I'm left to myself. ;)

    I love these pages! I just started scrapbooking, so I'm always looking for inspiration and what supplies I'll need. What did you use for the letters?

      Thank you! I use my circuit to cut out my letters; but when I was just starting out I mostly stuck with stickers.

    Your scrapbook came out really nice. I bought some but never put any together. I think this is definitely something I have to start doing soon since my kids are getting bigger. I'd love for them to have their own. Thank you for linking up with us at #OMHGWW

Friday Favorites: Shelter in Place Week #2

Image
My kids have been pretty content to connect with their friends on-line but I am slowly beginning to realize just how much I relied on quick errands out, seeing our friends a few times a week, and just being able to leave the house to help keep my sanity in check.  You can bet we are out hiking and out in nature any chance we can get! On the plus side we are flying through our schoolwork... but if we're finishing up most subjects in next week or two I am kind of at a loss as to what we'll be doing after that.



We put aside some of our schoolwork on Friday monday for just a bit so we could head out on a hike while the rain was holding off.  The boys did complete their schoolwork for the day afterwards and Ian ran a lesson on Ph.  I then spent my afternoon on Amazon trying to get some supplies that I just can't seem to find around here (and really didn't fare much better on there either). Word came through that the governor was shutting down all non-essential businesses a…

Friday Favorites: Trying to Keep it "Normal"

Image
One good thing about homeschooling and all thse new Covid-19 regulations being put into place is that we've pretty much been practicing social distancing for years.  We do venture out for shopping, to meet up with a few friends, and to go hiking but we rarely encounter large groups of people in our day to day lives.  I have been trying to keep on keeping on as normally as possible.


I am loving my latest book and had such a hard time getting anything else done Friday afternoon after a quick very early morning run to the grocery store.  The boys and I did manage to get their schoolwork done for the day and cleaned all the bathrooms while catching up on all the laundry. But mostly I sat in my room reading.


What was not a favorite was that we got a message that Alec's shadow day has been put on hold since the school is closing starting Monday the 16th and they don't have a date for when they'll be back in session (much like all the other schools).  They'll keep us po…

Whipped Topping Dyed Easter Eggs

Image
The focus for this month's Pinterest Challenge was all about spring with a particular focus on Easter and gardening.   While we don't do much for Easter, my boys have always enjoyed dying Easter eggs.  We look for ideas on Pinterest each year for new ways to color eggs.  


I saw this pin for dying Easter eggs using shaving cream and thought that looked like a lot of fun.  However, I wanted to make sure our eggs were edible afterwards and so we decided to try the same technique using cool whip and food coloring. 
We gathered together our hard boiled eggs, a container of cool whip, and our food coloring.  I also had gloves on hand for the boys to use so they wouldn't dye their fingers too.  

They wanted to try out all sorts of different color combinations so we put just a bit of cool whip onto a small square of waxed paper, they added whatever colors they wanted and used toothpicks to swirl them together... like this:


Then they rolled the egg around until it was colored.
