Phase 2 of The House Behind The Trees ~ The downstairs #TeelsBuildaHouse

on
So we are starting the downstairs ... I HATE to say basement because we had a basement in our old home, where you opened a door and went down stairs separated from anything else. It was a finished basement complete with a bedroom, craft room, family/game room and we spent a lot of time there ~ our oldest son moved down there in jr high and stayed through high school ... until we finished the master suite in the attic then he moved back up to the bedroom floor with his brother and sister.  So here our downstairs is open to the rest of the house, you can see through to the outside from the top of the stairs going down because we have a wall of windows down there as well.  We really didn't plan to have a kiddo down there but since we are having to do a switch-a-roo with rooms (I'll explain later) he is moving home soon and will be downstairs. Anyhoo, our downstairs will house our main family room, our middle sons room, a full bath and kitchenette.  I thought it would be fun ...

Homemade, Unique and Useable Valentine Cards for Kids to Create and Share with Classmates

on
You Rule ~ grab enough rulers for each child in the class. Use craft or scrapbook paper and cut into 6" X 3" rectangles. Cut a slit in the end to thread the ruler in. Before threading, decorate the paper however you wish, thread the ruler and your set.

Rolo Pencil ~ A roll of Rolos and enough Hersey Kisses for each child in the class. Use Yellow and Pink craft paper and a sliver of tin foil. Wrap and glue the paper around the rolos to resemble a pencil, glue on a kiss at the bottom and add a sentiment card. The perfect, edible pencil!

Gold Fish School ~ You will need the big box of gold fish, small baggies for each student in the class, and ribbon. Make a sentiment card to place in each bag, fill with gold fish and tie with a ribbon.


Play-Doh ~ Get enough play-doh for each child. Create a label to fit the top of the container with a sentiment and glue.

Cheez It ~ Grab enough small Cheez-It bags for each child in the class. Print or make a heart sentiment and attach to the bag.

Pop Rocks ~ You will need enough Pop Rocks for each student in the class. Create sentiment to fit the Pop Rocks and glue in place.
