At a Ladies' Craft Night at church, we learned how to make beaded wire bracelets. Being my first time, I went a little overboard with the large beads and should have interspersed them with some smaller beads. You can use all kinds of beads and colors. This one, in Wordless Book colors, is a gift for a special friend. These are fun and simple to make! You cut a piece of wire long enough to make 3.5 loops (loops large enough to fit around your wrist). You twist the end of the wire into a little circle to hold the beads on. Twist the wire into 3.5 loops and string your beads on. Then when you are done putting the beads on it you twist the other end into a circle too! Use all seed beads for a more delicate bracelet. You can make them child-sized in bright pink and purple for little girls for gifts!
This remote-controlled fire truck was a birthday gift Jeremiah received from my folks. I love it because it is simple to use (for a child's first remote control) and it's got a soft and rubbery body to the truck, making it gentle on furniture and cabinets and on the truck itself. My mom ordered it from a catalog but I'm sure one could find it online. It's called a GoGo Auto. A great gift option for a small boy. Warning: You husband may become addicted to this toy or may use it to drive you crazy by driving it in circles around you after the kids have gone to bed!
