CRAFTS FOR KIDS SITES AND ATC SWAP

We had another wind storm a couple days ago.   Let me tell you, the winds here are really strong. I was trying to put my RV 10' by 6' rug which had blown across the yard into my trailer and could not even open the door!  

There's a layer of dust/dirt on everything in the house and the only rain we had was 'mud' rain. What's mud rain, you ask?   Well, there's so much dirt blowing in the air that when the rain comes, it's full of dirt...thus, mud!


CRAFTS FOR KIDS.
Now that school is out in most areas, I thought I would share some of my favorite craft for kids sites.  

When the kids are 'driving you crazy' and you're ready to 'pull out your hair', check out these sites for ideas of things to do with your children.

ATC SWAP
The theme for this swap was British Royals and rather that focus on the actual Royals, I decided to focus on British Royal Celebrations:  Chelsea Flower Show, Royal Ascot (horse racing), Swan Upping (counting the mute swans on the River Thames) and Beating Retreat (closing camps at the end of the day using a drum corp)





Have a great day tomorrow...

See you tomorrow...
