My daughter loves to paint, draw and color, so much that our fridge is an over crowded art gallery. I decided to take my daughters pictures and trim them to 8 1/2″ x 11″ and put them in a spare three ringed binder with plastic sheets. Not only can she look through all of her … Continue reading

What’s for Lunch – Magnet Calendar?
I needed to think of some way to keep track of my daughter’s lunch/snack menu for the week. The only real criteria I had was that it had to be easy enough that she could do it herself because it is her lunch and she has a right to pick a healthy lunch/snack. Also needed … Continue reading
Craft Stick Puzzles
I have mentioned my giant box of Craft Sticks before and believe it or not I will have to replenish my supply shortly.

Monster Book…
Origami and I are mortal enemies but every now and then I actually do something right. I made a book. I can’t remember where I originally found the instructions to do it but I retyped everything from my experience and added a PDF for everyone to share.

Hummingbird Feeder
As with most of my ideas this one was not mine but I “improved” it or in Princess’s words it doesn’t look like the picture – so sad. This idea came from the May 2010 of My Big Backyard, I thought this would be a great rainy day project or in our case a very … Continue reading
