AWESOME Written All Over You ~ Valentines Printable

I hope you have enjoyed all of the Valentine printables this week! Next week is another favorite series of mine, Forever My Valentine… remember that one?? The one where we get a sneak peak into the love life of random people?? Ha, yep! But more than satisfying any nosey-needs we might have, all of these posts should inspire you and give you some great gift ideas for Valentine’s Day. Oh, and I almost forgot… ANOTHER fun series will be running all through February, every Sunday (starting in 2 days!) It’s an inspirational series all about love, and what it is. I’m excited to share it with you! It’s been on my mind for months and it’s finally time to get it out there.

Now, back to printables…

‘Of All the Fish in the Sea…’ Fish Valentine Printable

Besides my kids being obsessed with Capri Suns, my kids could eat Goldfish Crackers all day long. I’ll buy goldfish crackers for my baby to munch on in church, and before Sunday even comes, my older kids have found the stash and they’re completely gone. Also gone, mine and Dan’s private stash of beef jerky and Whatchamacallits.

So, how about a fun Valentine printable revolving around Goldfish Crackers?? I know my kids would love to receive one!

Hi! I’m Sharon, and I’m a newbie here on Or So She Says. I run my own little blog, Lemon Squeezy, where I showcase some of my photography and designs, with occasional free printable downloads. In fact, here are a couple now! I designed this first printable to be used at the Thanksgiving Grown-up’s Table. The other is for the kid’s table. Set it next to the plate with some crayons and keep the kids entertained! I had my three-year-old color one tonight and he was very proud of himself as he practiced coloring within the shapes

Snow Globe Ornament and DIY Ornament Roundup

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at my house! When you’re a crafter (especially a craft blogger), you have to get a head start. Don’t worry, I haven’t put up the tree or anything… yet. Anyway, I’m so excited to show you this snow globe Christmas ornament that I made. Doesn’t it just make you want to light a fire, snuggle up, and listen to Christmas carols?

I made it using a clear plastic ball ornament that I found at Hobby Lobby. Unlike a regular ball ornament, this one splits in half so you can fit bigger things inside of it. So many possibilities! The little house ornament and the fake snow came from Michael’s.

Read all about how to make this fun snow globe ornament and get 9 other ornament crafts from my blogger friends!

Spider Web Halloween Shirt for Kids (she: Jessica)

I’ve got a really fun and cute Halloween craft for you today! It’s a spider web Halloween shirt made with spider web lace. So cute, right?! I might need to make one for myself!

To make the shirt you will need:

a plain shirt (I got this one in the Target clearance section for $3.00! Awesome!)
spider web lace (Try to get some that doesn’t feel really cheap. You are going to be ironing it, and you don’t want it to melt.)
fusible webbing (Wonder-Under/Pellon 805)
parchment paper
black thread
orange ribbon

Family Library & DIY Pretend Library Card (she: Kristina)

Besides raiding the fridge and climbing everything in sight, my daughter has started getting into imaginary play lately. Since she’s the oldest, I’ve tried to be creative about some things I can make for her.  Last week it was a gas can for her cozy coupe car, and this week I took a stab at…

Handprint Apple Tree ~ Fun Fall Art Project For Kids (she: Brooke)

Hey, it’s Brook from Blissful Roots again. I’m going to have to jump on the fall bandwagon and say, “I LOVE FALL!” It’s my favorite time of the year. My mom always loved fall, all three of my boys’ birthdays are in the fall, there’s Halloween, pumpkins, apples, leaves, fall baking- what’s not to love? So, today in honor of fall I have a fun autumn art project for you to do with your kids.

I’m not quite sure where I came across this idea, but I’ve been doing it for several years with my boys. Even though they’re getting a bit older, I think they still get a little excited about making this art project every September. Actually what they really love is the squishy, gooey feeling of the paint on their arm, hands, and fingers. We’re usually trying to avoid paint on body parts, but not for this activity. This is a perfect fall art project for kids!
