You come up with one amazing thing after another, have you considered putting all these great ideas together and writing a book?

Oh I love this craft and I love the “sloppyness” of the whole thing. I also love Bug’s sparkly craft shoes!
I think this would look cute on the baseboard or around the bottom of the tree.

I might try this one with my kids. Thanks for sharing!

Love the craft project, the lesson Bug taught you about patience, and the photo she took of you on the stairs. *A fingerprint as a softening filter – brilliant! You’re an awesome Mom to Bug! You’re both lucky and blessed to have each other!

I like to wear my red sparkly shoes when I do crafts too, haha. Bug is adorable! Maybe you guys should get some craftin snuggies so that you don’t get paint on your white coat. You are a brave woman.

I think its great to hear the whole story-because in reality crafting/painting creating with kids can be a bit trying at times, particularly when its a shared project! You guys did a great job.

I think it’s adorable! And Bug is too, of course. I love your teamwork and the things you do together. It makes me very hopeful that I might someday have kids of my own and be able to do fun things with them too!

You may not notice it, being so crafty and all, but for the two of you to work together and make something that looks like that is pretty impressive. I think Bug is going to grow up knowing that she has the power to make things.

Bring it to my house! We’re trashy and homemade like that. ;-) Plus I already have the SAJ gallery going on.

(I just realized that anyone reading this, not having been privy to our earlier conversation, will think that I am calling you or your craft trashy and homemade. Oops and oh well.)

Granola bars are in the oven now, and they smell delicious! I’ll let you know how this recipe turns out.
