Memories... thumbprint people

So I have been trying to de-clutter my craft room. My sweet husband likes to tell me often that I am a bit of a pack rat and that I hold onto everything. I don't agree with him, I keep things that are important to me and that have memory. Lately though I've been trying to figure out a way to hold onto the memory but reduce the amount of physical space that things take up. So that lead to the idea of photographing special memories to post on my blog. Then when I turn my blog into a book, they are all there. I was excited to start the process but it does take time, so I plan to do a little bit every week hopefully!

This artwork was made by my awesome nieces and nephew one night when they came for a visit I usually like to do some sort of hands on craft activity when they come over, even if it's just drawing or coloring, they seem to look forward to it. This particular week we decided to make thumbprint people, the kids had a blast and they turned out super cute. I would recommend clicking on the images so that you can see the detail some of the pictures have, the kids were quite creative. I love Georgia's little people, it's neat to see how kids start to draw people, with arms and legs coming right out of their heads, it's fantastically cute!

This especially made me smile, this was an example given in the craft book we got this idea from, and Sarah re-created it as me and her uncle Brandon, what a creative kid!

You will have to email me those.....I'm doing the same with all the kids artwork etc. that they bring home....I don't have the space to save so I'm taking pictures. I think I will put them on a blog and then into a book....
