Grandson Weekend


This week must have been "grandson" week. On Friday, I got to have my 22 month old twin grandsons. They helped with this project by posing for "no shoes" pictures (they'd have been very happy to pose for "no clothes" pictures too, but I didn't have a use for those at this point).


Then on Saturday, my 12 year old grandson came over and helped pretty much finished up the project and a couple others. For a great tutorial on the "remove your shoes" project go to How Does She . . Alison does a great job explaining the steps!

We my grandson mod podged on the paper, stuck on the shoe stickers, mod podged over it all and let it dry ( sort of - I'm not one that has much patience for that part of a project). Then came my part - I put the pictures in, drilled the holes and put the string through.



He also mod podged a picture of him, his sister and the twins onto a little canvas that I had.



I had a picture of my mom taken when she was about 16. I do not know why, but it was "torn" out and I've always wanted to do something with it. At the Dollar store the other day, I found a funky shaped plate that said "tractor picture" to me, so he took care of that little project for me too.



Then we moved to the messy stuff. I had purchased these topiaries at an after Christmas sale for 1.00 each.


We protected the bottoms with bags, sprayed them with spray adhesive and stated putting on the moss.



It got very messy





but I think they look good!


All in all, I'd say it was a good day's work! (So we went out to lunch!)
