CLEANING YOUR HOUSE WHILE YOUR KIDS ARE STILL GROWING IS LIKE SHOVELING THE WALK BEFORE IT'S STOPPED SNOWING. ~dayspring~
We decided to make air dry clay egyptian necklaces tonight. They turned out a little larger than expected but the girls had fun. I made a pdf file of the paper necklace and put it on hslaunch to share; top of the right sidebar. You can color it in, use air-dry clay, model magic or whatever you would like. I really think the model magic would be the way to go. But, I didn't have any on hand. We are going to paint them gold and add color to them. I have to go out tomorrow to get the paint.
Tom had the idea to sculpt a griffin. He's not done yet, but he is doing a great job.
Tonight I decided to make quick gluten free, dairy free, and soy free scones. I used the Arrowhead Mills Gluten Free Baking Mix and found a recipe in which I changed. These turned out pretty good. The Aldi's frozen blueberries are perfect and plump for this recipe. I used the Enjoy Life Choc. Chips. They are huge! Katie is on her second one. There is a little bit of a taste in them that I am not sure of. It may be from the box mix. But for a quick recipe, these are perfect. As long as Katie likes them that's great!
We got the sheets ready to rip...
Got out the tea bags...
Soaked the tea bags and sheet strips in boiling water...
I dried them in the dryer (this is the book we used for this craft) It will be listed on the left sidebar this week.

Katie's cat mummy...she sewed her mummy's ears on by herself. Ana and I cheated; we used glue. ~smile~
