Ballerinas

Little Ballerina

Little Ballerina, dance for me,

A delightful scene for anyone to see.

On your tiptoes ever so light,

You dance with magic through the night.

Across the floor you flow with ease,

Little Ballerina, dance for me, please.

I watch you glide with splendor and grace,

As a smile of innocense beams on your face.

Prancing about with magic in your feet,

A wonder to see like an angel so sweet.

Little Ballerina, dance with flair,

Swirling and turning through the air.

Hands moving with the music as you go,

A fantasy to see with a magical flow.

Dance upon dreams that play in your mind,

Upon the dance floor miracles to find.

Feet moving so graceful with ease,

Little Ballerina, dance for me, please.

Aubrie and I made these together....

We had a wonderful time!

Handprint Ornament

Handprint ornaments make the best keepsakes. Pulling the decorations out year after year and seeing just how tiny my kids hands were way back when makes me smile. These ornaments are super easy and work well with hands or feet.

You will need:

2 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 cup water
ribbon

1. Put the salt and flour into a mixing bowl and add water.
2. Mix the ingredients well. The dough should be firm.
3. Knead the dough until it's smooth. Pull a piece off and roll it into a ball.
4. With a rolling pin roll the dough into a circle about a 1/2 inch thick.
5. Press your child's hand into the dough.

6. Poke 2 holes in the top of the ornament.

7. Bake in a 200 degree oven for 2-3 hours. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool. Add a ribbon to hang it and you have the perfect keepsake ornament.
