This weeks challenge is this darling little craft: A "CRAYON COZY" I have seen these popping up like crazy all over crafting websites and I can't help but think how cute they are and how easy they look to make. I would love each of my kids to have their own to take to church- much quieter than the plastic baggie of crayons currently residing in my church bag!My SIL and I wanted to make these over the summer and never got around to it, so I figured if I made it a challenge, you will all … [Read more...]

For week's 4 challenge, I made this shirt: I must admit I haven't ever used wonder under before and now that I have, I have a list of things I want to try!!! If you haven't tried it, you must try it this week! Why?Well... It is cheap ($2-$3 a yard) It is is easy (cut out your shape, peel backing off, iron for 10 seconds, DONE) It is fun (I think it is my newest favorite craft supply!) This shirt took me maybe 10 minutes to do- and half of that was reading and re-reading … [Read more...]

Tonight we made "Hugs" for my husband's parents who live out of state!Here's How:1. Measure the length of your kid's arms on butcher paper (you could use the back side of wrapping paper too).2. Trace each of their hands on the ends of their "arms." (Or, even cuter, make a hand print with some ink- I just thought of that one!) 3. While you are cutting out the hands and arms, have your child write (or decorate) a heart-shaped note.4. Tape the heart in the center of their arms.4. Take a quick … [Read more...]

A couple years ago I bought a bunch of matching ribbon on clearance in fun fall colors. I thought I would make some cute bows or something, and I did make a few, but Leah only needs so many orange bows! (In fact I don't think she ever wore the ones I did make her because orange is not the most popular color in her closet!) I decided I wanted to use this ribbon for a craft where I could use them altogether- alone the ribbons are kind of blah, but together they are darling! Over the weekend … [Read more...]
