Kids crafts

I'm searching high and low these days for crafts my daughter can make for Christmas. So I'll be featuring them on blog. I found this really cute Christmas ornament!

Shutterfly

Ever use Shutterfly?? They have GREAT stuff. I've purchased Christmas cards, thank you cards, and note cards from them. Recently I've been looking over their Photo books. ONE of these days, I'll get around to finally putting a few together for the grandparents. They make great gifts. Right now they are giving away 50 FREE Holiday Cards!!! Click here to sign up!

Wall Art

What a great way to display your childs artwork!

Happy Veterans Day

What does Veterans Day mean to you? 

To me, it is a special time to remember our service men and women "living and dead" who for 230 years stood up in defense of this great nation. No matter how you feel about war, please remember to be thankful for those who give their lives everyday for your freedom!

Black Friday

I dont know about you, but I live for Black Friday!! How can you not?? All those deals too good to pass up. For the last 5 years, I've been one of those crazies in line at 4 am waiting for the doors to open. I plan as far in advance as I can for this big day! 

I get help from this little site! This site gets all the ad's BEFORE they come out in the paper. This way you can plan ahead on what you want to buy.

Singing Soap??

SoapSoundz makes soap that sings!! The soap plays music for 20 seconds teaching kids to wash their hands until the music is over. What a genius idea!!

One down

So I finally got around to working on one of my "finds." While it was nothing exciting, I still love the price and how it turned out. 

Here is the before photo of the tissue holder. I paid $3.

 After I painted it with my ORB. It had a design, but I put that side against the wall, no one will ever know. I already had the paint so I think $3 was a great deal!

Jump on Christmas

Want to get a jump on your Christmas crafts?  I thought this was a great idea for anyone! You could paint it any color! I love that since so many people have their own color schemes for their Christmas tree!

 Just Something I Made has a great tutorial on how to make this goody!

Junk??

On my recent trip to Palm Springs, I did a little second hand shopping.

What do you think? Junk?  I love it!!! I cannot wait to work on every piece. My husband just shook his head when I brought it in from the car. I figured, what does he know? He cannot see the greatness in each piece! Stay turned to see how each piece turns out!

Happy Halloween...a little late

Better late than never!! Well here is my cupcake in all its glory...okay not really.

 I had planned on making these for my daughters Fall Festival, but my oven had other ideas. It broke the night before!! :( Oh well, now I have the best oven I've ever owned and probably no more excuses that I cannot cook. Darn! I dyed the mix orange which I thought was a great idea at the time. However it made it a little harder to cover up with the white icing. Note to self for next years festival!!
