Don’t Be Alarmed!!
I don’t be alarmed, but MY CRAFT room is clean and organized. I EVEN sorted my vinyls!! WHAT?!!? Yup, yup. I also realized I have more vinyl than Michael’s Craft Store does. Oh-Oh! I guess I’ll have to make more t-shirts! Please LORD do not let Alice grow out of funny, cute, glittery t-shirts anytime soon!! PLEASE! I’ve also added Resin pouring to my list of things I always wanted to try and never did. Here is what I have learned. Ummmm bubbles are NOT easy to get rid of!! Stir too fast. BUBBLES. Pour too fast. BUBBLES. LOOK at the resin as it dries. BUBBLES. So I will be You-Tubing Resin pouring this weekend. My first try I made book marks and they came out sorta okay. Since my sister and I were raised on a HUGE rabbit farm (neither of us are fond of the little critters) I thought this would be funny. Then I did skulls. These…

May 3rd Photo-A-Day C
Today’s Photo-A-Day is C for Connie. Except I hate taking my picture! My nose always looks like it’s 10 times to big for my face. C for candy. Except that I really have too much candy around and well, it would make you guys so hungry! C for coffee. That would have been wayyyyy to easy because where I am there is coffee. Instead I picked cotton. Not like cotton clothing, although there is nothing better than a vintage, soft cotton t-shirt. Not cotton balls which I seem to go through a ton of every month. But I chose cotton tufts also known as cotton boll! The kind you decorate with. There is something very rustic and country chic about cotton bolls. This particular set comes with 12 cotton bolls and a rustic wire on the back side that is about 2″ long. My plan is to wrap around sticks and branches that Bear and I find on our walks.…

Day 18 Photo-A-Day Something I made
Day 18 of my very own personal Photo-A-Day challenge. For the month of March I am posting pictures from inside my HUGE craft-room. This is helping me get motivated to blog more often and share what an amazing space I have been blessed with. I’m enjoying sharing my treasures with you and I’m seriously thinking of continuing into April. I will share pictures of the inside of the rest of the house. Whaddya think? Then May the outside of the house? June could be the town of Sandpoint? This might just work! Yes, these pictures show you what a hoarder, collector and wack-a-doddle I am. Now in my defense my Dad and my Grandfather were major hoarders so it’s in my DNA. Today’s prompt is I Made This. I am constantly working on different projects. T-shirts for Alice using my Cricut Maker. Kitchen towels and aprons. Recently I started making metal stamped items, spoons, key chains and such. I have…

ImaginativeU Ready-to-Use Activity Kits For Kids Age 4-10 #Review
I am so disappointed that this business no longer exists. It makes me so sad. This was such a fun kit. However, Etsy to the rescue. There are plenty to choose from. I went a little overboard with pictures again, but Alice and I had so much fun with our ImaginativeU Ready To Use Activity Kit!! Watching 3-year-old Alice during the week includes a lot of play time, crafts and of course I have to throw in some learning time too. I absolutely LOVE to watch Alice’s face light up when I tell her it’s craft time!! It’s a huge bonus when I combine learning time with craft time! Usually, it takes me a long time to get crafts set up. Scouring Pinterest, print instructions, head to Michaels and so on. It gets overwhelming at times. You have no idea how excited I was to be given the opportunity to review Imaginative University! Imaginative University sends EVERYTHING and I do…
