Easter Lilies

How cute are these?

Lately, my new favorite magazine is Family Fun. There are loads of good ideas in there that make me wonder why I hadn't thought of them myself.

Their craft ideas are the best, for the following reasons:
They're...
  • Quick
  • Cheap, and
  • (best of all) EASY!!
Take these for example. We traced William's hands for the white part of the lily, used green straws for the stems, and green leaves for the paper. That's all folks! It's just that easy.

The best part, William was occupied for a good hour helping me put these together. Mostly, he used the hole puncher to punch one thousand holes in a sheet of green paper. But when it was time to trace his hand, he was up for the task.

Hey Martha Stewart..you're.doing a great job at everything. Now that the kids are at that stage for arts N crafts, it'll be loads of fun. There are sooo many things to make with them, Your setting yourself up to be President of the PTA in a few years.
The pictures of William looking at the cute flowers are just precious. Just love those curly locks. Hope he does.
