Holiday Craft Source

When I was young one of my favorite activities was coloring.  When my son was young I gave him some coloring books and we colored together once in a while, but he never really took to it.

There are many free coloring pages you can print out on the internet. I think it would be a great idea to print out some coloring pages, on whatever theme you choose, and then have the kids color them, date and sign them and put them together into a little booklet to treasure.

Here are a few free coloring links for St. Patrick’s Day to get you started:

• At  Craft Elf:  Shamrocks and Happy St. Patrick’s Day .
• At Kaboose: Jolly Leprechaun, and  Leprechaun with Pot of Gold
• At Funschool: Name that Leprechaun and Pot of Gold.
• At Activity Village.co.uk:  Smiley Shamrock, Happy St. Pats and More. You will need Abode  Reader to print these pages out.
• At Coloring.ws: Happy St. Patrick’s Day and Pot of Gold on Rainbow .
• At The Coloring Spot: Four Leaf Clover and Leprechaun with Pot of Gold.

So, get those crayons and markers out and have fun coloring together.

Happy Coloring!!

I hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Year’s. I can not believe that 2009 is already here. Time seems to go by very quickly, at least for me.

My husband and I had a quiet Christmas. I made supper on Christmas Eve – Turkey and all the trimmings. My son came home as well as some of my cousins from Regina.  On Boxing Day we went to Regina. We had dinner with my Brother and his family. Later in the day we had  supper at my mother-in-law’s.  Then in the evening, we went to see our Son play a show with the band “The Jumpoff”. My son plays electric guitar.

On New Year’s Eve we went over to the local cafe here in Pangman, Saskatchewan, Canada, for the New Year’s Eve supper, and then spent the remainder of the evening watching movies.

Now that the Christmas holidays are over I am gradually getting back to my normal routine. One of my goals is to post more often, and also to share more of my patterns and projects that I have made.

I thought today I would share with you pictures of our 6 cats.

Happy New Year. I hope that 2009 is a good year for you and your family.
