Mother’s Day Craft: Gift Booklets
I am pleased to have Tanja Cilia back with our Mother’s Day craft for this week. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and please post if you try this project.
What you need:
-
A4 paper, coloured or white
-
Glue
-
Transparent tape
-
Good scissors
-
Old cards
-
Old Magazines
-
Wrapping paper
-
Stickers, glitter, and rubber-stamps (optional)
Method:
-
Go through magazines and find pictures, prayers, quotations, puzzles, that you like.
-
“Cover” one sheet with wrapping paper on either side.
-
Bind the edges with tape, and set aside.
-
Fold each sheet, including the ‘cover’, in half.
-
On each page, stick a picture and a recipe, or quote, or puzzle; the latter may overlap the former.
-
When you are ready, attach sheets on top of one another down the centre to form booklet; attach cover last.
-
Find letters from feature articles that spell out the message you want to convey, and use as necessary.
-
If you want, you can decorate further with stickers, rubber-stamps and glitter.
-
It is vital to include the occasion and the year on the front of the card, and optional to include the name of the recipient and the date.

It’s probably a little early to be dreaming about snow but with the muggy weather I had today, I’m almost ready for winter. Well, almost ready…okay, not really, but the thought of winter made me think that it would be an excellent time to share my recipe for Whipped Snow.
This is a fun little recipe [...]
Welcome to part two of buying a layette for your baby. If you have been with me for a while, you will probably remember the first post about buying a layette. I know that usually this is just one article but since I am writing a few points about every item, I decided to break [...]
It has been a while since I wrote a cheat sheet for That Parent Place so I figured it was time to do so again. Right now, I am the proud snail-sitter of about 10 snails. They will be going back into a nice spot in my yard very soon, not the garden where they [...]
