two weeks ago, during spring break {the same day that lisa had my car locked up at the thrift store} i found maddie a desk.
small. industrial. cheap.
it fits right between her bed and closet and she adores her little nook. she has piles of little things to cut and glue and sticker and collections of pens all organized just right. she sits for hours here making and then displaying everything from hand drawn rainbows to pictures of one of her bff's.
the reward for setting this all up is that the other day she showed me this little book drawing with maddie. pages of things she has created and every page is grouped by family; farm animals, insects, shapes, rainbows, etc. it's not quite done yet so she hasn't given me permission to share the inside, but once she does i will run here to share... it is too precious!
but i do have this to share, a little sneak peek of an april kr layout i finished last night. this one combines both add-ons {hen house & two-by-four} with a few bits from the main kit. i have a few more sneaks coming later tomorrow but right now i'm off to make some peet pot easter baskets thanks to lisa's fab tutorial on the kr blog this past weekend.
happy thursday!
xo
ps : gigi just posted some wonderful links to kids spring craft activities on the kr blog {{here}}. super cute!
ahaha As I was reading that about your daughter's little book and then looked at the pic (not knowing it was an April sneak at first)...I was like, "wow! for someone so young, she sure can sew straight!" hahaha
Then...I kept reading! lol
Too funny!
Have a wonderful Easter!
