I am getting rather frustrated with having no backyard toys for her to play with and there is only so much coloring you can do on the sidewalk, especially when you are 35 weeks pregnant. So I decided to load her up into our truck and go garage sale shopping.
This is not something I normally do. I love the idea of being able to find some second hand items that are in good shape, but I never seem to find anything that is worth the time and effort it takes to load and unload a grumpy toddler from the truck.
Today, however, I felt like I should at least try. We need toys for the yard and with the renovations coming up we really cannot afford to spend much on them.
It was a glorious day. I decided that if I didn't see anything as I drove by the sale I wouldn't stop. I had my route mapped out so that I would not be driving all over aimlessly searching. And I had extra snacks and toys to distract A in the car.
The first stop we made I bought a very small little tikes play structure, for $6. I was so happy. It was perfect. Then at the third stop we made I found a little Dora lawn chair which A immediately sat in and refused to leave, which was fine with me since it was $3 and was in great condition. And we also found an adorable little play oven. I have been trying to decide if I should get a little play kitchen for a while and since this one was $5, it seemed like a steal.
Today I am working on a gift for Aaron for Father's Day. I recently found a post on a blog about this great website that I am trying out. I have made many digital scrapbooks and things using different websites as well as using My Digital Studio from Stampin' Up.
But this website seems to be reasonably priced and user friendly. I will give a full review once I have finished my project. Post to follow.
But for now I would love to give you some great links to felt food tutorials. Some I have already used to make A some felt food, and some that I am super excited to get to use. I hope you enjoy.
I will post some of the felt food that I have made as soon as I can round them up from where my daughter has stashed them.
