Sew Crafty Friday-Memorial Stones

Posted on May 16, 2008 by

    Shereen at Waiting for Him hosts Sew Crafty Friday.  If you have been following my blog for a while you may remember back last year when I posted about the loss of some beloved pets.  I had planned to make memorial stones for each one, but after completing the first one time got away from me and the project was set aside.  Last week I was able to make the stone for my cat and … Continue reading →

Free School Book Resources

Posted on May 15, 2008 by

I thought I’d share a few website finds especially helpful for older children.

HS Planning & Update

Posted on May 12, 2008 by

During these months we concentrate mostly on those extra subjects like music, art, language and other subjects we consider fun.  I have been working on planning out my son’s high school years so that we have a game plan all laid out.  This past Tuesday, the skating … Continue reading →
