miles' mother came to visit and we decided to do some crafts together. we made potato print cards. we used cookie cutters to imprint the shape on the potato and create a stamp. i have made these kinds of prints before for t-shirts, but i haven't tried them on paper. i don't think we were using the right kind of paint this time. we were using washable tempera paint. it was too gloppy and we never got a clean print. after a short time we kind of abandoned the idea of the potato and just let the kids paint with brushes. that seemed to produce better results. i was thinking these would be our valentines this year, but i might try to come up with something else that will look better. we did enjoy spending time and crafting with granny though. it was a fun visit.
