Snow Globes!!!

The kids and I decided that making snow globes would be fun!
I got a few little plastic treats on Etsy...They are really cupcake toppers but I just cut off the sticks if they had them. We used Martha Stewart Glitter and a bit of glycerin to make the sparkles float a little. The little jar is a spice jar from costplus and the large is a canning jar..I got those from my neighbor. In the future I will out something under the scene so that you can see it better.

Keely's Birthday Card

I made this collage card for Keely's Birthday. She is very into art now so I figured she would appreciate it if I actually made her a card. She loved it!

Button Boo-quets..

I made these little bouquets for Halloween to give to the kids teachers. I love a quick project that uses stuff I already have. The kids picked the buttons and stacked them, I twisted them together.

Spooky Photos!

I got Wednesday and Zellah new Halloween dresses so I thought it would be fun to do some spooookkkyyy photos!

Cherry Pie...Oh My!!

I saw these awesome little pies on this super cute blog...WhiMSy Love . She had an amazing easy to follow tutorial and I just had to try to make my own right away. I immediately thought they would make great food for Zellah and Wednesday but also thought cute magnets or even ornaments!!

Zellah is holding the cherry version. I also have orange beads to make pumpkin pie!!
The supplies were simple..just glue, felt, beads and a bottle cap!!
I made this in less then 10 minutes. Yippee a quick crafty project!!

Enjoy!

Snails Are Taking Over!!

Here is another snail..this one is for my fab cousin Meghan. She requested one, so of course I had to do it. I just realized..... none of these little suckers look the same!
This is Gwen the Space Snail. She is done is shiny, glittery, silver sculpy clay.
If you click on the picture...you get the giant size and can see the beautiful shimmer.
I added some rhinestones to her shell and bejeweled her cupcake as well.

Different Colors...

I read in FamilyFun magazine that by simply putting a colored post- it- note over the flash you can get some pretty cool effects. My camera is not all that stellar but it worked pretty well. Henry thought it was cool anyway. I tried tissue paper in yellow, red, and green, and that looked much better. Here are the results!
Not sure when or why you would use this effect but it was fun to try.
