Summer Fun Container

I have seen alot of really neat Summer bucket lists of fun activities to do all summer. I really wanted to make one too and I realize I am a little behind on this project! BUT my son isn't even in school yet AND here in the PNW its not really even summer yet, well weather wise! Anyhow I finally finished my summer fun container!

I put our fun "to dos" into three categories that are based on how much time each activity will take! Anything that can be done in a short amount of time is printed on white paper, activities that requires the whole day are printed on blue paper, and activities that require preparation are on yellow paper. I am very excited to start doing these activities with my son!

I have been holding onto this canister for a long time waiting to use it for something!



So I cleaned it up and modge podged some cute scrapbook paper to it. Then I added stickers, ink, and stickles to decorate it!



The back is not covered yet but I plan on covering with some pictures from doing the activities! So I will share that part at the end of summer when we have done all of our fun activities!

Bottle Cap Magnets

I saw this craft on Martha Stewart's website (http://www.marthastewart.com/article/bottle-cap-magnets-and-thumbtacks) I LOVE finding a craft where I have all (or most) of the "ingredients" already at hand! I made a set of three bottle cap magnets for my friend using some images of her favorite icon, James Dean:


I also made a set in my sons name! We are working on spelling and I love to put his name on everything so that he will continue to work on spelling his name!

Altered 6X6 Scrapbook

I have decided to make my friend a scrapbook of her wedding (from September) for her birthday this month. I found a nice green color 6X6 scrapbook but wanted to add something to the front. I got these frames at walmart a few years ago and decided to figure out how to put them together!



I pulled the back off the frame, modge podged some scrapbook paper on the frame, and modge podged the picture and frame to the front of the scrapbook!

Paint Can Action Figure Organization

I was searching online for ideas for organizing boys toys and I found an article about different tubs and buckets for storage. I loved the idea of using empty paint cans to store little action figures. I got three empty/clean cans at home depot. I decided to try chalkboard paint for the first time too!

So I taped off little squares:

And the final product! They turned out really cute and best of all Jaden loves to dump them and fill them up! They hold a ton of little guys too!

Glue, Goldfish, and Stickers!

We made a picture of the aquarium and Jaden put goldfish and stickers of seahorses (because that is what he sees when he goes to the aquarium!) I tried to get him to draw his family at the top but he wanted me to do it so I showed him how to draw stick people!


Here are the stick figures up close. Per Jaden, there is Mommy wearing a bracelet, Daddy with a hat, cousin R holding a blanket & crying, himself eating a PB&J sandwich, cousin C eating just peanut butter, and our dog!
