So the Princess started school last week and so far so good but it has been a battle on the clothing front. I am still a little baffled by this because she wears a “uniform” (khaki or navy pants, skirts, jumpers or shorts and a white or navy polo, white socks) you would think this … Continue reading
So after 2 days straight of Booga realizing he can now turn on and off every light switch in the house, something needed to be done before mom lost it. I started searching for light switch covers – $10.00 really for a piece of plastic?! I have been hoarding TP rolls for a while and … Continue reading
I demonstrated how to make this on In the Paint Box on Thursday. The original idea came from Ann Butler’s calender post on The Hive. I didn’t have one of those binding things but I thought the use of coasters was brilliant! I decided a tutorial would be in order so I typed up a … Continue reading

I thought that was the neatest thing ever and decided with Christmas fast approaching to make a Poinsettia Flower. I have been thinking about this for a couple of days now but I didn’t … Continue reading
I needed a (last minute) gift idea for Teacher Appreciation Day for my daughter’s teachers. Before everyone starts to panic – our school breaks up Teacher Appreciation Week into five days throughout the year it is called Wonderful Wednesdays. I saw this idea on Cool 2 Craft P.J. Party last week and filed it away … Continue reading
I saw this idea somewhere. I apologize I don’t remember what site it was (I really need to start book marking these). Anyway they took a plastic plate and glued it to a candlestick. I really thought that was a neat idea but I don’t do plastic so I thought I would try a clear … Continue reading
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
