The project was originally a SWAP Project that I modified for a cute keepsake and reminder of the Girl Scout Law. My girls are 5-7 year olds since this was our first project I was unsure of their skill level. I wanted to make it as pain free and easy as possible for both them … Continue reading
This is the first year both kids wanted to paint pumpkins (which me very happy.) Last year only Booga painted a pumpkin and the princess’s pumpkin died on our kitchen table. The princess really wants to enter her pumpkin into a contest at school, she decided to paint the Lorax on her pumpkin. Booga decided … Continue reading

I thought this would be fun to make one or two puppets with the Princess, I had not planned on making every puppet in the book … Continue reading
Booga has a small obsession – okay a HUGE obsession with the artist Chuck Close. It started Tuesday when we visited the local library and I grabbed a NEW book on Chuck Close – Chuck Close Facebook. Little did I know this book would start an obsession. I looked through the book (relaxing on the … Continue reading
