{gotta have the right tools}

***
It's been crazy windy here for a few days now. Our house is kind of on a hill a bit and it feels like it's coming apart at times. The wind even keeps us awake at night. The draft makes it chilly even inside. And... Yesterday I saw the very first snowflakes. There wasn't many of them - I just saw some flying in the wind. No white ground yet at least. Brrr! Winter is on it's way.

I love going to teachers' stores. The one close to us has toys for the kids to play with while you browse around. Very smart of them to do that. Sometimes I take Sienna there "just to play" but I always end up picking a thing or two at the same time. This time I picked up two activity books. They are super fun and what an easy way to come up with a quick activity when you need it. We already made this lace up squirrel craft. Sienna colored it, I laminated it and punched the holes.
I love all my crafts tools: a laminating machine, a self healing mat (for x-acto knife cutting), a light box (for tracing), Making Memories eyelet & other tools set, a printer that makes copies...
Sienna loved using her very first own crafts tool too: safety scissors. She kept cutting & cutting & cutting paper.
Too fun!

  3. Aivan ihanaa kuinka jaksat askarrella Siennan kanssa. Pakko myöntää että itse oon hirveän laiska siinä. Muksut keksivät onneksi puuhia ominkin päin, tänäänkin täällä on maalattu sormiväreillä ja tulipa ikuistettua pieniä kädenjälkiä. :) Erityisesti tytöt on meillä innokkaita puuhastelijoita ja näpertelijöitä.

  4. Ai niin ja vielä lisäys, että meille on huomenna luvassa SANKKAA LUMISADETTA jonka myötä koulukin ehkä perutaan. En ole ollenkaan valmis lumentuloon vielä!
