button art

Have some extra buttons and fabric laying around?  Turn them into art.  My first button art project was of eggs for Easter (I don't have a picture).  Then of course, because I can't let a good idea go to waste I decided to extend the idea to The Fourth of July and made these button stars.  More holiday button art may be in my future or not.  We will see how far I stretch this one good idea....

sticker charts

At our house we pursue obedience and good behavior in every avenue possible.  One thing that has been particularly successful has been the use of sticker charts.  Madelynne completed one in October and got to go to the store and pick out a new toy.  It took her from about May to October to earn all the stickers, so she worked really hard to earn the Littlest Pet Shops she picked out.  Since Madelynne needed a new chart I decided now would be a good time to introduce Jackson to the wonders of the sticker chart.
