It has been a whirl wind week, with Christmas Programs, Christmas Vacation and preparing for the big man in red. Since the Princess has started school we have done “class presents” usually a bookmark and something else.

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
I have been creating Halloween Costumes like a crazy woman. The Princess is going to be Dorothy for Halloween this year. My mom found her an authentic Dorothy Dress at the Goodwill Store (I think it was $4.00) but she couldn’t find shoes. The princess had a pair of red dress shoes that were a … Continue reading

I love to personalize items for my kids for several reasons. One it makes it easier to find when in … Continue reading
My desk (old drafting table) has been leaning quite a bit so I decided that I needed a “new” desk for my computer. The changing table that we used for Booga was getting a tad too small for him and really needed to come out of his room. The table was my first drawing table … Continue reading

She love the fact she got to use the Mixers and her new butterfly punch. I am happy I created a wind chime that actually … Continue reading
