Christmas Crafting With Iris

It goes without saying that Iris and I have been doing a bit of Christmas crafting! I had some small canvases that really needed to be used …… so I thought that if Iris painted them, they would make a lovely Christmas present for doting Grannies, Granddads, Aunties and Uncles etc……
IMG_6621……. needless to say she was a natural and needed very little encouragement to seek out her inner creative spirit …….
tasting….. which did involve just a tiny bit of tasting!!!
Copy of IMG_6634…….. however, I am not going to talk about the cleaning up, let’s just say, that in the end, a bath was involved and quite a bit of scrubbing!!!!

Awwww see this just makes my heart sing!! You are very blessed Helen! I am always too busy working to spend some crafty fun with my grand babies (Alfie 3 & Eilidh 4) and come the weekend it's cleaning and shopping!! But life is too short so who cares if the washing up needs done, do what makes you happy!! That's it, grand babies are coming to grans at weekend and we are going to have some crafty fun! That is as long as Alfie doesn't destroy everything before we get the chance, he's just a typical wee boy, into everything! Lol!!

Enjoy Helen, such happy times!
