Sleepy Days

Today is an overcast, rainy day. I love these days because everything seems to slow down and all I want to do it sleep. I will be so busy soon with the holiday season so it's nice to just hang out in cozy pj's with Nellie (my new dog!).
Christmas is coming soon (I didn't forget about Thanksgiving! Christmas is just my favorite time of the year). I am preparing fun tutorials for gifts, ornaments, and decor. I love it all so much!

I did a fun photoshoot on Friday. I would really love to start my own little photography business soon!
Halloween! I got together with some of my friends and we ate pizza and candy while watching Psych (only my fave show of all time). What did you do?
White Rabbit is currently under construction. I'm completely re-designing it! It should be up soon, once I find the time to finish it. ;)
My mom found this cute little dog in the street and she took it home. It's been living with us for a few days. She is literally like our other dog, Zoe, just tan colored. Zoe has never been great with other dogs (I call her socially awkward) so she's been jealous whenever we play or hold the other dog. We're not sure if we'll keep the new dog or not. It's so weird having a second one around!
That's what I've been up to recently! I have had the craziest two weeks so sorry for not posting much. xoxo

Kid's Tree Craft

Last month I was asked to do a craft for the kids at my church. We were telling the story of Zacchaeus (the little man that climbed the tree, remember?) and I decided to do a cute tree craft!

 This is a simple project that could easily be a "thankful tree" for fall, too! You will need: scissors, scrapbook paper, white cardstock, brown construction paper, and a glue stick.

Start by preparing all the supplies. Print out this file onto your white cardstock (optional). Cut out a leaf shape to use as a stencil and trace it onto the back of the scrapbook paper until you have traced as many as possible. Cut the leaves out. (I used almost 20 leaves for my sample to show the kids, but most of them used only 5-10. You will probably only need one sheet per kid) Then, cut a trunk shape out of brown construction paper. I just drew this simple shape:

Pull out your glue sticks and let the kids get to work!
