This picture does not do this basket justice. It really is beautiful. Beautiful, and super easy to make. This one took about forty five minutes. It would be a fabulous gift and would be a great addition to your Christmas decorations because it adds light and a festive atmosphere wherever you put it. It can […]
Fall Thanks
Mod Podge, card stock and Mother Nature= Fall Thanks. An easy, fun kid-adult creative outlet. We found this craft via Wild and Precious and knew we had to share it. You’ll love this website and the articles written. They always lift us up and make us want to be better. Lovely. We love this idea. It would […]

Marvelous Marshmallow Catapult
Do you have an extra 2×4 sittin’ around your garage? If you do, take a look at this super easy marshmallow catapult! It’s a blast to play with, and costs practically nothing to make.

Popping Off
Looking for a fun activity for a birthday party, activity days, scouts or just for fun? This is it! We’ve seen versions of these poppers around in magazines and other websites but they were made out of heavy plastic cups. We made several of them to use as a possible activity for a preschool camp. They were fun, but so […]
Flip For These Flops
Pretend you’ve never seen these before…O.K… fine, but we love them. Kiddie flip-flops (or “bigger than kiddie” flip-flops) tied off with a cute bow. Ribbon that’s skinny or fat, two different colors or curly or straight. You can’t go wrong. Flip-flops for girls could match their fourth of July outfit, or even their swimming suit. I can picture some pretty sassy walks from little girls, as […]
Let’s Go Fly A….Bag ♫
I looked out the window the other day to see a plastic bag floating up in the air over my fence. Connected to the bag was a piece of yarn. Connected to the piece of yarn was a little boy, my cute neighbor Caleb. He had made a kite! It worked like a charm and kept him entertained […]
POW! BANG! BAM!
BOOM, BOOM, POW! How do you like me now? We were first introduced to the marshmallow gun in Jackson Hole, Wyoming where we paid $12.00 only to realize, that even anti-crafties could make one. We took it apart, measured the pieces of PVC sprinkler pipe and made twenty, (not a typo), twenty more. My oldest […]
No Green Thumb Required
Spring has sprung and my kids have loved watching their world (the neighborhood) blossom and grow. They had an absolute blast making these charming little Easter grass baskets. Everyday they run downstairs to the kitchen window to check the progress the grass has made. And just like flowers, bringing the grass indoors adds to any room. […]
Safety Pin Bracelet
I remember being twelve and making safety-pin bracelets at girls camp. I thought they were so cool. I wore the bracelet every day until I lost it at the pool the next summer. It was red, white, and blue. So patriotic. So 1974. Well, safety-pin bracelets have come back full circle… Now I just need the Farrah Fawcett hair-do to […]
