Paper Plate Pet – Craft Show for Kids {Free Coloring Sheets}

Amy — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 16:51:49 +0000

We have a new craft show for kids today! Watch Siena in her “I’ll Show You How” craft show as she shows you how to make a paper plate pet.

Remember, all crafts are from the brain of my five year old daughter. Believe me when I say, I’ve tried to give her ideas and she will have none of it… they must be her idea and original craft idea or she won’t do the show. ha! So bear with her, as some of this craft might seem easy for an adult, but it’s pretty hard for a kid! I think she showed great patience in this video. A good lesson for all kids out there!

First, she created a lion, which I thought she was going to show in her video. But she changed her mind and made a cat, because she had wrapped the lion as a Christmas gift for her Daddy. I was not allowed to open the gift to show her lion on the video, so I made my own as you will see her display in the video. Ha!

It’s always a surprise as what she will do next. I hope you and your kids enjoy her latest show!

If you can not see the video, view it on YouTube here.

I ? Faces “Pets Only” Photo Challenge

This week is all about the animals! I had to use my only pet model, Rocky Balboa. He was loving the attention. The puppy next to him was a prop my daughter thought he needed next to him:-) She put a bow on his head, but it fell off.

* I’m one of the Co-Founders of I ? Faces and doing this just for fun, no winning for me.*

Come on over to I ? Faces and share a photo with us! Enter Monday & Tuesday.

We also have a fun photo contest coming up where you can win a Tamron Lens! Don’t miss out on the fun, check it out!

I Heart Faces – Pet Week

Amy — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 14:52:06 +0000

This week is our first Pet Contest!

The winning pet face will be featured on our button. I can’t wait to see the cute pets! My cat, Rocky Balboa, challenged the other pets. He’s very competitive, but of course when I went to take his photo he was NOT in a very photographic mood. I did get him to hold still for this one. The bad thing about cats is they are not all that fun… so we had to do a fancy shot:-)

Have fun looking at the adorable pets who’ve been entered in our contest. This week’s kid’s and adult’s theme is “The Eyes Have It”. Pets can be entered with the “Anything Goes” theme.

Rocky Cat

Amy — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 21:06:04 +0000

In case you didn’t know, we have another family member. He is a 16 lb. cat named Rocky. (Named after the great Rocky Balboa)

Just for fun, I thought I’d feature the day in the life of a fuzzy, black and white, very fat cat.

Cool Cat…

I’d rather attack these glasses…

Rocky, you need to go on a diet!!

Friends…
