I think out of all of the seasons, fall has to be my most favorite. It's evident by the colors in my home. I love fall colors and this time of year.
I love cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, I love squashes of all kinds. I love a hot cup of tea on a chilly evening and warm soups with steaming biscuits.
I love rain and the smell of rain-soaked leaves on the ground. That earthy "fall" smell.
I love burning my candles
So, naturally I was excited to get a few fall craft ideas to do with Robi.
Now, mind you - I have yet to find clear contact paper. We probably have it here...I just haven't found any yet.
And most of our craft stuff is still packed in the garage somewhere.
But here is what we did:
I cut out some pumpkins and leaves and colored them with markers. Then I took the paper that I colored the pictures on - where the markers went over the edges - and colored over those colors with a yellow marker...to sort of blend all those fall colors together and the made collage paper out of it.
I cut the center out of two of the pumpkins, put plastic wrap in the center a few collage papers, and then ironed it.
It actually turned out okay.
Robi didn't help with this - he wasn't really interested in this part of the project.
But he did like this part
He was very impressed with these being on his window.
Oh - and we have a new addition to our family. Meet Luna.
We've enjoyed a lot of outside time with her!
I love shadow pictures
Luna loves having a huge yard to run around in
And Robi loves chasing her
The postman came on his motorcycle
And Robi was downright impressed
He is all-boy...through-and-through
And Andrej? Well, he was having fun playing in his stroller and taking in all the action
I don't dare let him crawl around -- he puts EVERYTHING in his mouth...rocks, sticks...earthworms...
But he wasn't missing out on any fun. He had a great time, too.

I love the pictures! The boys are so cute. Also, congrats on your new addition.Our new addition didn't work out, but I'm hoping to replace them (kittens that were sick) soon.
Cute decorations too!!!
I've always loved doing crafts with my children and now with my grandchildren. God gave us all those creative juices and we just feel better when we let them flow. Looks like you had fun. Bless you, Gail
Looks like so much fun! Mine is all boy too and I love it! :)
Aw, those pictures are so much fun. As my children have gotten older, I miss making those fun fall decorations!
I have never heard of clear construction paper--so now I want to see if I can find it. Usually for things like that I use what you did or old page protectors that I am not using anymore (or that have torn and cannot protect a page).

Thank you!! I linked up with you and added you to my weekly link list.
What a great idea to use page protectors!! I have tons of those. I am going to try that for a Christmas craft. Thanks for the great idea.
Thank you. :) It is fun doing stuff like this with them. I know I'll miss it too, when they grow too old for this.
Don't you just love boys? They are so much fun.
I loved doing crafts as a kid....I love being able to do this stuff with them. :)
Our's didn't either in the end. She was scared of the kids and we were afraid she'd bite them one of these days. We'll try again in the spring. :)
