The other day my husband sent me a link to a post called “Wisdom of the 6 year old“  Where a first grade teacher asked her students to finish well-known proverbs.  It was so cute and hilarious I had to ask my kids to do the same thing.

Here’s a photo of my kid’s with the gang that stopped by for the weekend…ha ha hearty har har…

P.S.  If you’re wondering about the butterfly on the top of this post…I stamped it twice on G45 paper, then glued one on top of the other for a 3-D effect.  I LOVE this butterfly stamp set (by Autumn Leaves).  The butterfly is on a wedding layout I did for a friend of mine. 

Have a great day!
