April 2 Paint Puddles Class!

We have ONE more class before Easter...now you don't think we could do "this" holiday without a POT character, do you?   LOL

I just HAD to do some little pot bunnies, all dressed up for Easter Sunday, holding their announcement boards!

This week you have a choice from one of these bunnies..the little boy is dressed up with his bow tie..and the little girl has a cupcake wrapper dress!  Their ears are felt, i will have these pre-cut for you.  If you could see the backs (forgot to take a pic)...they have a fuzzy little bunny tail!  You can choose from many different colors and different ribbons and cupcake wrappers!  Of course..."some" of this is a little difficult..so between you and me...we will do the finishing touches after the kiddos do their expert painting techniques!

I also have a few bunny spoons left...

and we have plenty of Easter Pots left, with a clothespin to attach an Easter message.

As always..i really NEED to know HOW MANY OF WHAT you plan to do!!!! OH!..and also...i know this is being "picky"...but if at all possible...send me an email by Saturday or Sunday night!...OR EARLIER!...i know, i know...i am not getting this "up" until FRIDAY...so i DO understand a busy, interupted, hectic life!  Thanks ahead of time!

We had two new PP-ers this last week...so Becky (who brought them)...and each of her guests got each of their craft selections for $3.50 each!   YAY! 

I hope we can continue to grow..when we grow..i hope to add more hours/days!

Don't forget to let me know!!!

And thanks again...each of you are a blessing to me and the children are beyond darling!  I am blessed to teach creativity to all of you!  It is an important "tool" in life!

Blessings,

Sandi

Hey Puddlers!!!!!!!

As we "inch" closer to Easter , we continue with Easter projects and Spring projects!  But...HEY...where did SPRING GO???....uh....I, for one, happen to LOVE SPRING!...so I am rooting for the REAL SPRING to stand up!  How bout you???

This week will have another POT...the EASTER POT!.....I will have pre-printed messages for you to choose from to clip with your attached, painted and decorated clothespin!!!...OR...you can make your own message!!!  It's up to YOU!  This pot would be great for treats...or even a small plant!  Also a GREAT gift idea!!

I will also have picture frames if you wish, and will have our bunny spoons.  You MUST let me know your intentions, however, so I am sure to have enough supplies on hand!  So...in other words...your choices this coming Monday are as follows:...Easter pot....Bunny Spoons....or Picture frames....and of course...if you have time...the finger puppets will be there for the making, free of charge!!!

So let me know how many of what...and see you Monday!!!!!!!

March 19th

I am so so sorry to "mess up" our schedule!  I had 2 teeth extracted last Wednesday and never DREAMED i would still be dealing with those issues for almost an entire week!  I got an infection, i am quite sure it was the entry point for the novacaine right on the gum where the extractions were..in fact it is still there (an abcess)...ouch..unbelievable pain..i ended up on steroids, antibiotics, pain meds and mouthwash!...anyhoo...i had previously taken the 19th OFF..and NOW we are ON!...so the spoon bunnies will be offered then, with the finger puppets at no charge in addition to the regular craft.    The following week i will have two Easter related crafts for you to choose from for the week up to Easter!  Those samples will be coming soon! ;-)

So....again..new hours...2-6pm..arrive by 5pm

if you bring a NEW visitor..it will now be standard..you and your visitor's craft choices will be $3.50 for the day, however many you want to do

i still need to know you are coming and how many crafts you will do..and when i get choices back up and running..WHAT you want to do!!!!

Hope to see some of you Monday!

Blessings,

Sandi

Spoon Bunnies! Monday, March 12th!!

...and i present...the SPOON BUNNIES!...your addition to your kitchen tool jar...puppet show extravaganza...or how about a cute addition to your pencil holder?...however the kiddos decide to use them (maybe all)..they are CUTE!  They are made with wooden spoons and wooden hearts!  I will also have plenty of materials from last week to try a finger puppet or two!  I thought they were so "hard" and "messy"...and Wyatt Henderson showed me a thing or two...he constructed his in no less than two minutes and it turned out PERFECT!  I guess i found out a couple secrets too...so come and make a Spoon Bunny and some finger puppets!

I have decided to "extend" my "special" of bringing a first time visitor, thus getting your crafts for a price of $3.50 per craft...to FOREVER, instead of ending it this week!  SO>>>>>>>>>....if you bring a first time visitor, from NOW ON....your family's crafts will be $3.50 each, as well as your visitor's family's crafts!  This is a good way to introduce your friends to all the fun we have investing  time creating with your kids, without the stress of shopping for product, setting it up, cleaning it up!!!

I have one picture frame left, for whoever would be interested..maybe if you are...mention it to me in an email...also have one birdhouse left....and lots of pipe cleaners for the finger puppets!!!

I still need to know if you are coming and how many crafts you will be doing...this month i haven't had a lot of choices, sorry about that...life has not cooperated with me, allowing me to get a month's worth done all at once...

don't forget new hours...2pm to 6pm...arrive no later than 5pm!

See you Monday!

Blessings,

Sandi

Paint Puddles! Monday- March 5th! New Hours!!! March Special!!!!

MARCH SPECIAL!!!

Remember a few posts ago when i told you about our upcoming March special???  Well, here it is...IF you bring a NEW (never attended before) guest...YOU and your GUEST can do however many crafts you want for the price of $3.50 each!  This special is good for March 5th and March 12th!

AND......drum roll....NEW HOURS!!!!....i have had to decrease the offering of hours, due to, in part, to my new baby...PUPPY, that is!!!  Also, the day gets VERY long for me and my (lack of) energy level!  We are going to try out these new hours of 2pm to 6pm...(please arrive no later than 5pm)  So in the future, just let me know what, and how many crafts you plan to do for the day.  You do not need to let me know when you are arriving.

The LAST announcement today is that i have decided to continue into the summer!  I would love some feedback on this...not that i can please everyone...but if you prefer a certain day over another, hours over others, or have any suggestions...PLEASE email me!!!!  I will consider any and all, and do my best to please.  I appreciate all of you who faithfully attend!  You are ALL a blessing to me! 

OK...NOW....the following picture is the original craft planned for this coming Monday....

aren't they cute??...yes..they...are.......BUT...OH MY!....they were "difficult" for me...as i was making the samples..i kept thinking..if i am struggling , how in the world are these little pumpkin puddlers going to do this?...the idea is GREAT...the finished product is cute and fun...but believe it or not...because of the messiness of glue and sticky fingers and they are tiny...it just is all kind of a MESS and frustrating!.........SO>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.......i decided to come up with THIS:

yes, i reverted to the "old standard" PICTURE FRAME!!!...but still fun, we will use nice SPRING-Y colors and i have several small wooden pieces for the kiddos to choose from to glue in the corner!!!

I also have about 3 birdhouses left from this past Monday...and will have them available for whoever might want to do them!

NOW...IF you want to attempt a finger puppet or two...you are MORE THAN WELCOME to do that too..i will have all the product for both!!!!!!!

So...email me please...let me know how many frames you will be doing ....and YOUR GUEST!!!  *wink!
