I have personally been eyeing their Happy Day Necklace, Tague Seed Bracelet and their Large Cow Horn Hoops.  So fun!

For this weeks planned craft we went with something super easy.  I mean beyond easy.  Q-tip Shamrocks and the wee Kelleys loved it.

Here’s what you need:  Traced shamrock, green paint, scissors and q-tips.  That’s it 🙂

I let each kid have their own set of small cups with different shades of green paint.

Then they started their q-tip dotting on their shamrocks.

Once the shamrocks dried (which I again used my hair dryers to speed the process up) they cut out their shamrocks.

And voila…beautifully painted shamrocks to rock for St. Patrick’s Day.

Sol went for more of the “all over” affect for his shamrock.  I think they’re all pretty great.

I like our crafts easy and this is definitely an easy one.

And a quote from Harper today completely made my day…actually my week,

“With my markers, I can change the world.”

Hope she never forgets it!

Have a great weekend.
