Great job the family did on the stepping stones!! I got the wheat right away, but was trying to make the wee person a star and the buildings a heart. Rolling on the floor laughing
I need to check out those board games, never heard of them. But then I haven't had kids for a very long time! Hilarious!

Wow, I love the stepping stones. I saw them briefly, had to leave, and then couldn't find 'em again. I just happened to stumble upon them (not on them)! What a great idea. I have a muddy area that DH sunk some limestone slabs for me, but I sure like the imbedded glass ones. Would be fun to do with DGS for his secret garden.

... And Settlers of Catan is a game we play with our neighbors quite a bit. there's usually 7 or 8 of us playing. Their son brought it home from U of CO. (I actually win most of the time, but only because I'm clueless!). I like to buy settlements and hoard my cards as long as possible!

Birds & Blooms magazine has a picture of some cool stepping stones this month. A large stencil of a butterfly was cut and filled in with glow-in-the-dark paint. Easy peasy and very nice looking.
I garden for the pollinators.

Here are some of his paths and he explains how he does it. Its a whole lot of work but I am intending to do a very small one this winter. Half the work would be to find the stones. It is such a piece of art one would hate to walk on it. There is also a small pond under the fountains area I want real bad.

Love the pavers your kids are doing.

There is a book out of his work. Its beautiful. Some of it is too complex and busy for me but then he did what his clients wanted him to do. I love the starfish and small flowers he puts in the small corners.

Sometimes I imagine his home, wonder where he keeps the huge amount of pebbles all sorted out in the colors and shapes.

Are there more stepping stones made? Do we get to see pictures of the completed project and can we see pictures of the kids hard at work?
