Baby Favors

I have just been looking around some baby shower favors as my friend is having a baby shower soon and I have offered to buy them for her. I thought it might be pretty hard to get them as I was not sure whether many places would sell them and I did have no luck with the shops in my town. However, I have been really surprised by the amount that there are available on line and it is actually pretty hard to choose which one is the best. Every time I think that I have found the best possible design, I come across another website with even nicer ones available. It is getting a bit silly really! I think I am going to have to set myself a deadline of this Friday to make a decision or else I will not be leaving enough time for me to get them delivered and filled up in time! It has been such fun looking at all of these pretty baby favors as I don’t often get the opportunity to look at pretty things and I am afraid that I have been getting very easily distracted looking at all of the other things that are available as well! Personalized gifts, such as some personalized baby onesies, are good choices too.

Kids Art

My husband has been looking at Kids art supplies lately. He is thinking of trying to get the children doing more art things. I agree that it is good to try to encourage their imaginations, but if they do not show a natural artistic talent then I see no point in pushing them. I was never that good at art as a child, I remember sitting with a friend in my art classes, hiding behind our easels and hoping no one would look at our awful paintings! I did manage two good pictures which were pencil and pastel drawings and I enjoyed playing around but was not good at representing people or animals and especially faces. I suppose playing around is what our children should perhaps be doing and so maybe getting hem a few basic art supplies may not be a bad thing. It may also increase their confidence so when they start having art classes they may have an idea of what to do. I think that perhaps my lack of knowledge of even the basic materials may have held me back a bit, at school. I knew nothing about mixing paints, pastels or even about types of pencil. I had never been shown anything about scale, shading or perspective and perhaps if I knew these things I may have been a lot better.
