My Crafty Little Crea!
What a perfect crafting day I had today. My little granddaughter to be, Crea, came over and we made Floats! (I've no idea why she named them this but it's better than me calling them those little scrabble letter holders you decorate). She painted, and glittered, and glued and arranged and rearranged and then I manned (or wo-manned) the hot glue gun and she would get her decoration close, then a little closer and hand off to me to put in place. Here she is exhibiting her work.........
She's a serious artist and glad now she raided Barbi's closet.
And so am I .... isn't she adorable???!!!?
So we left her Float on display, and then made the other kind of floats - the kind with ice cream and root beer and talked about art!
It was a perfect craft day!
Should you want to buy one of these fabulous "Floats" regrettably Crea does not sell her work! However the oh so talented Barbi Queen Scrappy Jessi does right here in her Scrappy Jessi's Etsy store! Head on over to see some absolutely adorable stuff! Bye - I'm goin' shopping! Nancy
Just Adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious granddaughter to be. I bet she loved making that darling FLOAT!!! She looks like she is about 2nd or 3rd grade. I teach second graders, and have taught third grade for about 15 years. This age girl is the most enjoyable. They love to make anything and just create. I know my little girl students would love to make something like this in class, this would be a great first of the year project to get to know each others names early on. Your grandchildren are precious. I will be going over to babysit baby wes this week. Can't wait. I think I need a rootbeer float now!! HUGS Ginny
