Invisible Painting Activity Supplies: White Crayon White Paper Tempura Powder Paint mixed with water OR watercolor paints Paintbrush Directions: 1. Write your “secret message” on the white paper […]
Last week (or was it the week before? everything is a blur) all the girls caught some sort of infection that weirdly came out through their eyes and ears. Of course they passed it down the line: Abby to Cameron and Cameron to Shae and probably to me too, but moms don’t have time to […]
For one birthday, nearly everything Abby got as presents from friends and family was from the kid’s aisle at the local craft store. Oh man, that girl was in HEAVEN! She loves everything on that aisle, complete crap or not. Near our home, we have Michaels, JoAnn’s, Hobby Lobby and Robert’s jam packed full of […]

Create your snowflake shape with pipe cleaners. Make sure you trim it so it will “dip” into your container. 2. Attach a piece of […]

My camera is broken…so basically the universe was telling me to take a break…so this week is “Re-Run” week of my past posts. Enjoy! These “Be Mine Valentine Bracelets” are AMAZING (in my humble opinion)! How clever is this? You could even tie one of these around a lollipop to bulk it up as a […]
