Making Cards

We have lots of Birthdays and celebrations coming up, so Artie and I have been busy sticking, gluing and drawing. I love homemade cards. I love handmade cards by Artie even more. He loves sticking the stickers on best. I have been collecting cheap stickers for a few years (thanks to being a teacher). I am even more inspired to collect them now that Arthur is starting to get interested. I think you can never go past stickers and bubbles as presents for young children. They provide hours of entertainment and are so simple and inexpensive!



We used some crayons as well. Although, I don't think a certain 15 month old is quite ready for them yet. We had some interesting coloured nappies that afternoon! I cut some pictures out (from an "In the Night Garden" magazine) for him to choose from and we used sticky tape to attach all the collage elements. Artie had fun playing with (and eating) all the things I brought out and I had fun 'finishing' the cards up for him. And I am sure all the recipients will have fun admiring their beautiful cards!

What we've been doing

We are off on a holiday to New Zealand in a few days. So hopefully soon I will have lots of holiday snaps to share. We can't wait to chill out and have some quality family time. 

We've been busy. Busy, in the normal, everyday kind of way. Where the days seem to whir by in a flash. Artie has been growing and learning so much. 
I will let the photos do the talking for me. Enjoy.
