  journaling: Elizabeth and Carissa had asked a long time ago to be taught how to sew, and like many things it kept getting pushed to the end of the list. I came across a sale on American Girl craft kits along with a bonus coupon at Michaels craft store and thought that they would be a good starting point. With the felt pieces already cut and illustrated instructions, the girls tackled the projects right away and before too long had their own hand-crafted creatures.

journaling: The girls auditioned for roles in the Springs Philharmonic Nutcracker ballet with Ballet Idaho back in August, and now rehearsals are finally in full swing for this Thanksgiving weekend tradition. Brenna is thrilled to be participating in this professional show, and Beth and Carissa are getting into their Big Mice characters which are just a little wild and crazy. Having their tap friend Iyanno in the same cast with them adds even more fun to being in the show. It’s a lot of work for two shows, but lots of fun too.

I saw these vintage Christmas images from SherrieJD and had an instant flashback to my own childhood. I’m pretty sure that a few of the images in these kits showed up in our mailbox over the years. I have a distinct memory of a year that I had one of those advent calendars with the little numbered windows and doors you got to open each day, and it was a Christmas collage that looked a little something like this. credits: everything at scrapbookgraphics.com:

and while I was working on the Christmas collage I ended up making some cards too.  credits: everything at scrapbookgraphics.com:

journaling: Elizabeth and Carissa’s friend Tricia LOVES frogs. She has a huge collection of them and is adding to it all of the time. Any time we see a frog, Beth and Carissa have to mention how much Tricia would love that. Tricia had a scavenger hunt party at the mall for her birthday and the girls had a great time hunting for the things on the list and buying something they loved. Of course Tricia got a few more froggy things with her gift money. ~May 28, 2011
