Celebrating Ella's Birthday ...

September 9, 2015

Ella wore her new outfit to school ...

that

she received for her birthday ...

She loved it ... !!!

Before heading to school ...

the boys gave Ella a big hug and kiss ... plus opening a few other little gifts ...

James gave Ella the Pokemon card ...

that she really wanted ...

After school ... Ella wanted to help decorate her cake ...

putting on lots of sprinkles ...

We had spagetti for dinner ... then it was time for Birthday cake ...

we lit the candles ... sang "Happy Birthday" and waited for Ella ...

to blow out the candles ...

Ella then opened up a couple cards that were delivered to the house ...

One happy little girl ... !!!

It had been a few busy nights for the grandchildren ...

so it was perfect to stay home ...

and do some new crafting ...

Once again my dear friend Dagmar ...

shared this craft of making Paracord Bracelets ...

At first the grandchildren were wondering how the heck...

were we going to make these ...

With a few instructions ...

they were on there way ... creating these bracelets ... !!!

(This kits give you the full instructions ... using the box as a guide for length ...

paracord and buckles ... to make eight bracelets ...)

They were in a creating frenzy ...

they loved it ...

I must say it was a very enjoyable ... quiet evening ...

with helping them with any issues that arose ...

Craig made the orange, red and green paracord bracelets ...

James was creative and made a multicolour bracelet ...

While the children were in school ...

it was my time to try and make a Paracord bracelet ...

I was amazed at how easy it was ...

I was ready to show them how to make them ... !!!

Craig, James and Ella are all into creating ...

with Perler Beads as well ...

Making designs on a grid ...

then covering them with parchment paper ...

for me to use the iron ...

to melt them ...

making sure all the beads were sealed together ...

We had a lovely evening crafting together ... !!!
