One of the things I have always loved about my children is how creative they are. I don't want to brag, but they are some of the most resourceful kids I have ever met. No matter where they are, they always find something interesting to do. Last weekend was a great example. We had a wind storm, and it caused a power outage. It couldn't have come at a worse time. You see, we were having family movie night that evening. When the power went out, it completely ruined our activities for the night. We couldn't watch movies, make popcorn, or do anything else. We couldn't even heat up food because we had an electric oven!
While they were helping me to find a flashlight in my study, my kids stumbled upon some of my stickers paper. It was basically a sticker label paper meant for printing your own designs. I used it for my business. I run an Internet shipping company, and I'm often in need of cheap, easy to use labels for packages. By using printable sticker paper, I save a lot of money. Rather than ordering premade printed packages, I can print out my own labels and still have it look professional. I don't know why I had never thought about using the printable stickers paper for craft projects before. It was actually very affordable, and perfect for creating your own designs. I never used the photo stickers paper, you see, but rather the inexpensive type that would work well for printing and writing by hand. It was more than good enough for a craft project. My kids both loved scrapbook stickers, so we set up a few candles, gathered around with the sticker papers and some markers, and went to work. There is something about having the lights off that made it much easier to entertain ourselves than usual. We actually spent hours and hours just drawing and making different designs. We would each make our own stickers, then trade with each other. When the lights finally came on about 11 o'clock, we were actually disappointed! Mostly, I was just proud of my kids for their ability to find their own amusement. I have always thought that the ability to entertain yourself is a sign of intelligence. I know that parents love to think the best of their children, but you should have seen some of the things they did with the stickers paper! They took a simple craft project and made it very artistic.
