Plastic Spoon Wreath

 

 

I saw this on another blog and loved it! Hers looks much better than mine…I was in a hurry and should have spaced the spoons so much more symmetrically.

 

I used about 55 or so spoons. You can use different colors, but I liked the white against my newly painted walls.

To get started you need  the spoons and a glue gun. It is pretty simple to do!

I tape wax paper to my workspace so that clean up is easy!

A couple dots of glue…hard to see in this picture.

And keep gluing!

It will work itself into a circle. I think that the further you place the spoons the larger the wreath.

Finished product and so easy. I took ribbon from my bow making stash and made this cute little thing to hang it with!

Safe Racer & Stem Fair

 

It is no big secret that I am one PROUD MAMA! I think I have the two most awesome kiddos ever. They both recently attended the STEM Fair. Caitlyn won from her school for the SafeRacer car. They were to design a car from recycled materials that would safely carry an egg.

Her little car was so cute.She was chosen as the leader for her group of four. Here are a few pictures from the competition.100_2601

Chris won the First Place in  5th grade Science Fair for his school and was chosen to represent them at the STEM fair! He did such a great job. He had to spend 2 hours away from us being judged and answering questions. Was very proud of him!

Spring Break

 

Yeah I know a little late!! We headed to Kentucky to visit my family for Spring Break. It ended up being the perfect time. My mom’s birthday was Friday April 15…I arrived there on Saturday! Happy Birthday Mom! Tristan was with his grandparents. So it was the perfect time to get away and enjoy  my family and my boy and girl!

I took Chloe with me and she was an awesome traveler…I have to back up and introduce her. She is my sweet little girl and I so adore her!!
