Today's Quote

I am too blessed to be stressed!

As I mentioned yesterday, today was the kids craft class ages 6-8. Was so much fun, I had 4 incredible kids, each with its own personality and creativity. They loved it and I loved it too!

They did such a great job on their projects, promptly cleaned their area and helped each other after each project. What a great team work! Fantastic sense of humor too...

They asked me to do a card class next and I promise I would.

So the students completed 4 projects, a frame, a "Quote Bottle", a pen and a note book. First they picked their fav color in Acrylic paint and painted a 4x6 frame, we put the frames aside to let them dry and started on the "Quote Bottle", a little gift for the Moms, I printed a couple sheets full of inspirational daily quotes and had them cut them in strips, fold them and insert them in the bottle, like a Chinese cookie you see? plus they added their own quote too. Then they decorated a strip of card stock for the outside of the bottle and voila second project done.

The idea of the "Quote Bottle" was my daughter's, was a mother's day gift from her 2 years ago. What a great idea, kudos to Mafalda!

The frames were dry and so they proceeded to decorate them with stickers and stamped letters on card stock spelling their names and before you know it another project was completed.

Time for a break, we had brownies and a drink.

Back to work...next they decorated a pen, the girls with a flower and the boy with the crocodile from wild about you and 4rd and last project they decorated a note book to go with the pen.

And here are my little artists and their beautiful work.

The projects are purely their own creations, I gave them the tools and was there to guide them but there were no samples that they had to follow. I believe that kids should stretch their imagination with their own creativity! And was so cute to ear things like -oh I have a big idea, can I do this, do you have that???

They were so happy and had so much fun, made my day!

Well I am super tired and better go take a nap before going for dinner and game at a friend's house. Mafalda is babysitting, yeah

Is game night, Germany vs Turkey - do I need to say that I am for anyone that beats Germany??? ahahahah Go Turkey!

Have a great day!
