Grandma Penguin got the boys each a little wood kit and last night we decided to put them together. The kits contained about a dozen wood pieces that you glue together and then can paint. Last night was the gluing stage and tonight will be painting. I was a little unsure of the best way [...]
Just wanted to share that Tipnut linked to us again today, this time for my Peanut Butter Chocolate Playdough post. We get quite a bit of traffic from John’s posts that they have used so we really like their site! Thanks Tipnut.
