I am working diligently to get ready for VBS. I am preparing crafts for 125 students this year. I can't wait! I am so excited!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsPP649D_YZZZjUWIZj5G6bY6koxStw6qe8Imj_Z01-DgGQ43rpjcsOwzzeVwyWYYVrQE7RYMWtmynbBc1JqlftzQYTywkAB8qmQQ9KB1_5ORG4P7SqFjhpn1eONMm668zSLWVV-xF4aU/s1600/083.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsPP649D_YZZZjUWIZj5G6bY6koxStw6qe8Imj_Z01-DgGQ43rpjcsOwzzeVwyWYYVrQE7RYMWtmynbBc1JqlftzQYTywkAB8qmQQ9KB1_5ORG4P7SqFjhpn1eONMm668zSLWVV-xF4aU/s200/083.JPG" width="200" /></a><br />
Night three of VBS is when we present the ABC of salvation. We will be making airplane bobbleheads/ bracelets. The students will decorate them with ABC.<br />

I just started the first job(away from the home) I have had in over ten years. I am not sure I am going to make it. I am exhausted, flustered, and really concerned that my brain has no capacity to do anything outside of the home. If only I could just stay home and cook and craft.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today I want to show you what I have planned for day two of VBS. The theme is God's power over circumstance. The story is Daniel in the Lions Den. We will be making pilots prayer log and lion magnets. Enjoy the pictures I have posted below.</div>
<div>

<br />
The magnet was made using a four inch fun foam circle and a smaller fun foam circle. Glue rotini pasta on large circle to create the mane. Put a face on small circle (I used foam pieces). Put magnet on back and attach verse of VBS theme on front.<br />

The prayer log is super easy and inexpensive. Cut a manila folder in half horizontally (this will make two logs). Cut copy paper in half to fit inside. Use a hole punch and punch two holes at the top of book. Attach with twine or ribbon. Allow children to decorate covers. </div>Queen Bee (AKA Patty)http://www.blogger.com/profile/03885046741818460006noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220810132763913683.post-70103561440361036042012-05-24T04:32:00.001-07:002012-05-24T04:32:41.300-07:00Graduation Cards<br />

We are knee deep in graduation season. We have been bombarded with graduation party invites this year. I think our family has received twenty-seven announcements . This does not include the ones just my teens have been invited to. When I went to the store to purchase cards, I only liked the really expensive ones. Knowing our budget could not afford over twenty $5 cards, I decided to make cards.<br />
<br />
I purchased a pack of ten square blank cards with envelopes for $1 and a pack of graduation stickers for $1, and so far have made five cards that I am very pleased with. I still have enough supplies to make five more! Ten cards for TWO dollars!!! Yippee! Take a look at my finished project below!<br />

I have been doing quite a poor job at keeping up with the blog. I totally missed crafting with my children on mothers day. I had gotten quite the bug and was intentionally trying to get well. Fortunately for me they continued crafting without me, I will post some of the gifts they made me soon.</div>

I am now in full Vacation Bible School mode. Our church is using VBS materials from Lifeway this year, so we will be seeing lots of aviation crafts. I only end up with ten minutes for each group in crafts so I have to keep it simple. Here are a few of the things I have been working on.</div>

My oldest daughter, who is now eighteen, loved Shel Silverstein poetry books when she was young. She still occasionally checks them out from the library. My Seventeen year-old's favorite childhood book was <i><u>Goodnight Moon</u></i>. He wore out several copies, because we had to read them so much. My Nine year-old loved the book <i><u>The First of Octember</u></i>, by Dr. Suess. We had to hide it for awhile because he had huge dreams of building a play set in our backyard that was modeled after the book. My five year-old's favorite book is T<i><u>he Story about Ping</u></i>, by Marjorie Flack.<br />

Did you know that April 8th - 15th is National Library week? The library is one of my favorite places. It is a fun and inexpensive place to go, that is provided you get your books and movies back before they are over due.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We have learned so many neat things at the library, not only from the books, but also from the activities they offer. My children have taken classes on balloon animals, origami, insects, and much more all at our local library. This week I will be featuring books and some activities that we have experienced at our local library.</div>Queen Bee (AKA Patty)http://www.blogger.com/profile/03885046741818460006noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220810132763913683.post-59185442551928155192012-04-07T18:56:00.001-07:002012-04-08T05:02:24.704-07:00Rice Crispy Cross: Jelly Bean Prayer<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<br />
The Easter Egg hunt was so much fun. My nine year old found so many eggs that it filled the basket and he was putting the overflow in his pockets. He even found a price egg. My five year old found many eggs too, but his basket was bigger so they all fit fine. He was very happy to get the candy his older brother who just go braces could not eat! No pictures because unfortunately I left both my camera and phone at home :(<br />
<br />
<br />
We later had a lot of fun making cross rice crispy treats.<br />

The boys are going to give these to their friends at church. We made them by pressing rice crispy treat mixture in a cross cookie cutter. Then we presses jelly beans in the cross. Finally we put them in a bag and attached the <i>Jelly Bean Prayer.</i><br />

I love to make pot holders with my children's hand and feet prints to help celebrate holidays. You can buy two pot holders at the dollar tree for just $1.00. I love this Easter chic I made with Benjamin. I had made a bunny with my seventeen year old when he was four.....I hope I can find it!<br />

These Easter lilies made from tracing Benjamin's hand on white paper impressed me a little more than it did him! He thought it was a girl craft. We made a vase out of a baby food jar, put Easter grass inside. I then put the poem on the outside of the jar! This could be used for mothers day too!<br />
<br />
I found these craft ideas from this wonderful site! <a href="http://funhandprintart.blogspot.com/">http://funhandprintart.blogspot.com/</a><br />

<br />I was in a Bible study recently and we were talking about the importance of spending time daily with God and Scripture memory. Many of the women admitted to struggling with carving out time for this important discipline, but yet I noticed we all have time to be on facebook and update our twitter accounts. What if we were intentional about giving God our first fruits?<br />
<br />
My nine year old just enrolled in the national Bible Bee. He is very excited about scripture memory and learning more about God's word. I am looking forward to seeing how he grows spiritually through this experience.<br />
<br />
My nine year old was reading the Bible with his five year old brother. He was explaining that if you could not find the book of the Bible you are looking for, you just need to look in the Table of Continents. My five year old asked me later, "Why does the map have seven continents, but the Bible has a lot?"<br />

<br />Little hands and feet have always fascinated me, but it was not until I had my first child that I really marveled at them. Seeing my daughter's precious hands and feet for the first time made my heart flutter. I counted each tiny finger and each chubby toe, and held them gently in my hand as if trying to preserve that moment forever.<br />
<br />I still love hands and feet. I often preserve memories of holidays by making hand and feet crafts with my children. My youngest son and I made this Easter craft with both his hand and feet. It was quite messy and a lot of fun! <br />

I love Palm Sunday. Yesterday the halls of our church were filled with children cheerfully waving Palm branches. It always brings a smile to my face. The celebration carried over to our home. When we got home my nine year old wanted to reenact the bible story that he has just heard a few hours earlier. He assigned us each a part to play and we were soon a family of inspiring thespians. My husband was to play the donkey. My nine year old played Jesus. My seventeen and five year old had the parts of Peter and John, and my nineteen year old daughter was to play the Jerusalem crowd. I was the narrator. Things seemed to be going quite well until my five year old had a major melt down because Peter was not allowed to ride with Jesus on the donkey. Other than that we had a wonderful time of reading the Bible and playing together.<br />

One of my favorite Easter traditions is Resurrection eggs. I was given a set of these years ago when I was an assistant to the children's director at a church in Oklahoma. My children have had great fun with these eggs over the years. It is a miracle we still have all the pieces! <br />

Bubbles, four leaf clovers and dandelion bouquets make for a wonderful Sunday afternoon! I kind of dread my youngest child growing up, because it will mean the end of a beautiful smile behind a bouquet of dandelions. That dreaded day when someone tells him that the flower he so sweetly and eagerly picks for me every spring in reality is just a weed. Until that day happens I will happily put them in a vase and display them on my table with pride, because to me they are the most beautiful flower in the world!<br />

After about fifteen minutes of looking for a four leaf clover my youngest son triumphantly shouted he found one. When I rushed to his side to see his treasure, he erupted in giggles and declared "April Fools."<br />

<br />
Last week I went to a baby shower and I wanted to take a special gift. I love to make gifts, but I needed something quick and easy. I, like all good crafters do, turned to the internet to spark my creativity and I found this wonderful idea from: <a href="http://southernfrieddreams.blogspot.com/2011/03/diaper-tricycle-tutorial.html">http://southernfrieddreams.blogspot.com/2011/03/diaper-tricycle-tutorial.html</a>.<br />
<br />
Thanks to her great tutorial I was able to make the fabulous gifts pictured below!<br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been dreaming of starting a blog for months. It is insane of how many excuses I could come up with not do it. I almost gave up just because I could not come up with the perfect layout and design. The layout in my head looked much different than what I could get the computer to do. Computers and I are barely on speaking terms....but we will leave that for another post. I am very excited about what this blog with become! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I love to craft especially with my children and I look forward to sharing some of the things we make together. I want to constantly remind my readers to Bee Intentional in the fast paced world we live in we often over look what matters most. Many of the best intenions go unrecognized!</span>Queen Bee (AKA Patty)http://www.blogger.com/profile/03885046741818460006noreply@blogger.com0
