The project was originally a SWAP Project that I modified for a cute keepsake and reminder of the Girl Scout Law. My girls are 5-7 year olds since this was our first project I was unsure of their skill level. I wanted to make it as pain free and easy as possible for both them … Continue reading

This is the first year both kids wanted to paint pumpkins (which me very happy.) Last year only Booga painted a pumpkin and the princess’s pumpkin died on our kitchen table. The princess really wants to enter her pumpkin into a contest at school, she decided to paint the Lorax on her pumpkin. Booga decided … Continue reading
Back to School – “Glitter” Personalization
Every year I go through the same thing personalizing school supplies. Our school has a pretty strict dress code including clear or mesh backpacks which are really hard to personalize. I always have visions of my daughter coming home with another child’s backpack because they all look the same. I know the teachers really appreciate … Continue reading
Personalizing a Clear Backpack
We have several clear backpacks around our house because it is a requirement of our school district. One of the ones we got when the Princess entered into Pre-K was a “Thomas Blue” trim backpack. I love to personalize items for my kids for several reasons. One it makes it easier to find when in … Continue reading
Travel Crafting Box
I can say I have never in my life taken this much time to plan for anything (I planned my wedding in 2 months, no lie) but I have been planning this list for close to 8 months now. I will say having our A/C die a fiery death last week really helped me figure … Continue reading

Puppet Supply Box
We have been frequenting the library quite a bit this summer and one of the books I checked out was, “Simple Puppets from Everyday Materials” by Barbara MacDonald Buetter. I thought this would be fun to make one or two puppets with the Princess, I had not planned on making every puppet in the book … Continue reading
Freezer Paper Stencil Chuck Close T-Shirt
Booga has a small obsession – okay a HUGE obsession with the artist Chuck Close. It started Tuesday when we visited the local library and I grabbed a NEW book on Chuck Close – Chuck Close Facebook. Little did I know this book would start an obsession. I looked through the book (relaxing on the … Continue reading
Subtraction Girl – Super Hero Cape
When you have a princess and a Booga there is never a dull moment. The other day the princess said, “Mom I am a super hero and I need a cape.” Me: “What is your super hero name?” Her: “Subtraction Girl! I also need a logo on my cape. You make great logos mom!” (Buttering … Continue reading
