She's Crafty!




(Tay's first picture that actually resembled something a couple of months ago. =) )

Now that Taylor is into doing crafts and drawing, I'm finding that I'm running out of room on the refrigerator for all of her artistic masterpieces. I've even been giving them away as "thank you notes" every once in a while, and have even used them as wrapping paper for birthday presents. But I decided I'm not going to be the mom who saves every macaroni necklace and every scribble that Taylor makes. I'll definitely treasure some special ones but for the others, I've decided to scan them and toss them. They make lovely screen savers and I've even printed some out as 4x6 photos and stuck them in a photo album. I figure they'll last longer that way and it's quicker than scrapbooking. Take a look at some of Taylor's work.


Tay loves these! It's a picture of a haunted house and you put all the stickers on it any way you like.
I was impressed by this caterpillar.



Another cool sticker page











I wrote numbers on the back of the ice cream scoops and she glued them down in order. makingfriends.com has some cool and free printable crafts.

Way to go, TAY! Those are awesome! And I think I may just join you in that scanning scanning of the artwork method. Still waiting for Spencer's to resemble something. ; )

Very cute. I just tossed a bunch of stuff Flynn's done over the past few weeks. No room for all the crafts, that's for sure!

She's so good at crafts. Definitely save the best ones. Plus if you end up publishing and printing out your blog into a blurb book you'll have a bunch of pictures too of a lot of the crafts. We are the same way with Kyle. There are just too many. So we keep a few (probably still way to many). Since my bro's on a mission, we send him a lot of drawings too.

I would say that she is more of a picaso then Rembrant, but the girl shows talent! What a great idea to scan in all of her masterpeices and just print them out on photo paper. What a great way to keep them.
