Crafting With My Hailie Jade

This past week has been soooooo much fun!  This is my darling seven year old Grand Daughter, Hailie Jade.   She is the one person that I cannot seem to say no to, LOL.  She has ruled Russ and my life for the last week.  Thought I would show you some of the crafts we created.

How about these die cut stars.  They were made with the 5 point star die cut and the Big Shot Machine.  One of Hailie’s favorite tools to use.   They went together really fast so we made lots of them to hang on our trees.

Oh, by the way, I’m told that Justin Bieber Rules!  Justin who I said?  Hailie’s reply “Really Grandma, ughhhhh”.

We love to play games together so we whipped up these Bingo cards using the Stampin’ Up sets Bingo Card and Jolly Bingo Bits (from the Holiday Mini Catalog) and made everyone play Bingo on Thanksgiving.   The adults were so very competitive, LOL.  We covered the squares with the Large Buttons.

.

See why I cannot deny this little lady anything.  Even with the missing teeth she is a beauty!

Oh yeah, Hailie loves to play tic tac toe so we made up this Winter Themed board using the Stampin’ Up Snowflake punch, 2 1/2″ circle punch and 3″ squares of Not Quite Navy and Whisper White Card stock.  So simple and we played forever.  🙂

Well after all of the fun, I had to take her home to another state today, sniff, sniff,  but what memories we have made together.

Until my next post. . . . .

Hugs,

Michelle

    Hailie has caught the “Bieber Fever” I’m afraid! Hope you don’t catch it, too! She is adorable & you two sure made lots of memories. Hugs to you both!

  8. Spending time with the grandchildren is priceless. We had a 4-year old grandson and a 3-year old granddaughter here for a couple of days over the weekend. Their older sisters make cards here and now they are begging to do it too. They had fun coloring their stamped images.

    What a darling granddaughter you have. It looks like you are helping her find her crafting niche. Oh the memories she will have of being with Grandma. I’m sure she misses you just as much as you miss her. Glad you had a terrific Thanksgiving.

    Lovely to see you had a wonderfull time together. And..what fun to make your own games. That’s double the fun, making and playing!
    And she looks lovely, even with “a bicycle rack” (that’s how we call it in the Netherlands when you’re missing some front teeth!)

    I think she has her Grandma’s pretty eyes! So glad you got to spend time together. My 18 year old Grand Daughter came to spend the weekend with me so we could make cookis. She took home about 13 dozen cookies! I told her when I am old and feeble she will have to come and pick me up and take me to her house so we can make cookies! This has been a tradition with us since she was a little girl. Yes Grandchildren are the best.

    Yes, she sure is a beauty!!!! And, she seems like such a sweet ball of fun. No wonder (at all) that she is the apple of your eye. I have an eight year old granddaughter. Also beautiful, blonde and blue eyed, and very, very bright. So, we have that kind of granddaughter in common. (wide grin)

    Thanks for sharing these pictures with us, and of course, all your good ideas. Stay well, my best to you and yours.

    Michele, I love the crafts that you and your granddaughter made and it’s definitely something that I would have done if I had a grandchild. These are the types of things that I did with my children and their cousins when they were growing up and I miss it so much. I think that I may put together some of those BINGO cards though, it would be great fun to play even with adults.

    Michelle, your little Hallie is absolutely adorable and I can “feel” the love you have for her coming through in your writing. How priceless to have that relationship with your granddaughter! My little 5 year old Carley (granddaughter) also loves to craft with me and it brings me so much joy!
