Valentine Envelopes

Posted on February 5, 2012 by geoffrey

I am not one for the $1 store variety of Valentines for my kids to give out. So generally we make the valentines exactly what we want (which I will show in a later post) and print them as 4×6′s at Wal-Mart or Sam’s Club. Sam’s Club ended up being 13 cents each. However, 4×6′s don’t fit in the standard envelopes and besides — they are so boring. So, this year, I designed the envelopes too, and I am sharing. Below the pictures is a PDF with all 4 designs, don’t try and print the pictures, they aren’t the correct dimensions. Print the PDF at 100% and then cut them and fold them on the lines. Hope you enjoy!

Be Blocks

Posted on January 9, 2012 by geoffrey

This was a craft for the 12-13 year olds. We came up with this.

Start with the blocks — I used 2×4′s. They are inexpensive and easy to come by. A full 8 foot board will run you just $2-$3. Cut them into squares/cubes. (A 2×4 is actually 1.5″ x 3.5″ — keep that in mind).

Super Hero Capes

Posted on March 30, 2011 by geoffrey

My boys (and girls) LOVE Super Hero capes.  Because I had a hard time finding images that I liked, I made some, and will share them with you. It’s a PDF, and you can choose which pages you want to print. Having the their cape be their initial rather than an off the rack version makes them feel loved and special, and I encourage you to try it! Even if you have NO sewing skills, you would be surprised what even a flour-sack dishtowel with the paper pinned on will do for a 3-year-old’s energy level. Good Luck and Have fun!
