Sorting through my fabric stash I found the vintage look material, and the pinnies became a reality! I think every woman should have one! read more »
Making journals out of old hardbound books. We altered these books. Painted on them to cover the texts and pasted pictures, painted objects, and used our creative minds to come up with our journals. Had fun making this addicting craft with the kids.... Enter your email address: read more »
As you may, or may not know (you probably will if you follow me on Twitter) I was bridesmaid at my good friends wedding on Sunday, and beforehand she taught me a quick craft (and I made two for her wedding) and that is making string balloons. Now this is one of the more messier and stressful crafts I have ever tried, and while I didn't dislike it, I don't know if its something I will do often, although I am considering making a few for my bedroom...so we'll see!To start, blow up a balloon to the size yo... read more »

While I was getting ready to wrap a birthday presenttoday I was thinking about how I still wrap presents that look like a five year old did it. I often wonder if the "gift of wrapping, gifts" will ever arrive for me. ?????????? I don't look for this to happen any time soon. I also don't enjoy wrapping presents. Maybe that's the problem.

Yesterday, my daughter had to make a science project and it was about making a presentation out of the 5 Kingdoms. She and her partner decided on making a book out of it.

We also had no more time to go out and buy new materials because she had to study for her exams the following day. MATERIALS: 1. OLD HARDBOUND CHILDREN'S BOOK 2. ... read more »
