My coffee press (which, yes, deserves its own picture.
I plan on adding watercolor to this one soon.)
I truly believe...

I love them.
He said, "they love animals, they help things grow, and they give beautiful gifts." I enjoyed his description ...summed up: "Love, Encourage Growth, Give."
So, Nature Man and Dash, how can you get along better with your brother?
"Love God, love him [my brother,] help him, give to him."
Bingo. Give of time, encouragement, positive words, hugs, consideration, gifts...
Good lesson for me, too.
Of course, my husband I get along perfectly ALL THE TIME (*cough*)...but on the occasion when I feel entitled, demanding or unappreciated, that's when I can Talk, Love, Give, Pray, and Encourage...
We are near-opposites, so I'm quite sure our character-development is growing by leaps and bounds and *hopefully* we can be great examples to our children of how to deal with difficult people. ;-)
I made our People into cards. Of course.
Just have the kids fold their cardstock. Then unfold and lay flat, right-side up. Next, let them choose a stamp, and decorate the front of the card, with one or more images going above the fold-line.
Older kids can then carefully cut around the part of their stamped image that goes above the fold line. Younger kids will need some help with this part.
