What is the difference between a fairy and a pixie.  Sometimes I wonder about these things.  But then again since they are both mythical creatures does anyone really know for sure.

Tie Your Scarf

When I was young I used to love to play with my Mother's scarves.  However I never seem to wear them now.  Probably because I don't really know how to make them look great.  After seeing this video I think I might just be able to do it ..

School Photos

Yesterday my Granddaughter came home from school with here school photos.  I don't remember them every being done this early in the year, but then again it's been a lot of years since my children were in school.  One other thing that surprised me was that this was only the first one.  Her school does photos twice a year, once in the fall and then again in the spring.  My first thought was that doing photos twice in a school year was a little redundant.  But, kids grow so fast and change so much maybe it really isn't a bad idea.

Item of the Day

To keep track of your little one and how he/she has grown over the years this school house frame is the perfect way to showcase all of those school photos.  This metal frame has room for a total of 13 small photos.  Frame sells for $20 and is a great keepsake.

Ceramic

Every day we're learning something new about ceramics.  Our first pouring attempt was okay but not great.  With the lessons we learned from that we are going to try again today ... Wish us luck.  The potter who's piece is the item of the day today doesn't need any luck, her pieces are always beautiful.
