DIY Time

Have a little time on your hands this summer and want to do something fun with the kids?  Here are a couple ideas:

Ashley Ann made these great paper bird paintings with a couple canvases, scrapbook paper and Mod Podge.  Don't you just love the paper she used?  {Of course it's Amy Butler}.

One of my favorite parenting blogs is Made By Joel.  He's amazingly creative with his children and I can't believe what he comes up with.  What an amazing dad!  He whipped up this paper city with vehicles for his children to play with.  He has downloads available with his graphics, but you can always have your children help you create your own unique city too.
