This weekend, while Chris was away at a conference, I carted the boys off to aunt Kate's for a girls crafting weekend and we make these family rules canvases. Kate went for a simpler, sanity saving version but I decided to go the difficult route and cut out all of these strips of paper as seen in the original inspiration version. I think her canvas came out super cute and looks a tad more polished than mine--which came out a tad bit wrinkly from the Mod Podge and a couple of the lines are a tad bit difficult to read on the pretty papers I chose.....oh well, here is the final product............
Those hard to read rules are:
everything is a gift from God...take care of your things
too much TV is BAD.........too much READING is GOOD
keep your promises
I've got some extra paper so I might put new strips on it one day and redo them so they are more readable but that day is definitely not today!
I think it will live here on top of the play kitchen so David will be able to see it every day and learn all of the new rules by heart..........well a mother can dream........
I love it! Making rules fun, you sure are a 'crafty' mom. Your doing a great job, keeping the boys (and mom and dad) focused on all the right things.
ReplyDeleteI am really proud of the fantastic way your training Henry and David. They are sure blessed to have a mom who loves them like you do.
Hope your week is filled with love and blessings!
Dad
