*I was financially compensated for this post. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience.* How Important is Summertime Play? It seems like in today’s world, playing outside doesn’t happen as much, as back when I was a kid. We used to be told to leave the house, to go play and then come back when the lights came on (we didn’t have […]
St. Patrick’s “Pot of Gold” With St. Patrick’s Day coming up, I wanted to make a craft that could also be used as a gift! You see so many different pot of gold things, I just wanted to twist it up a little. This one was really easy to make and I think the hardest part was finding the “Gold”…finally found it at Walgreens after […]
“CounterTop Campfire” I saw these cute little things over at The Budget Savvy Bride‘s website. She was making them for the tables at a wedding and I thought, “Well, I’m not getting married, but it’s cold out!” I figured that they would be perfect to use inside for marshmallows, when it’s just too cold outdoors to do it. They were very easy to make and I […]
“Valentine Gift Bags” I recently got some new designs for my Silhouette Cameo and thought that these would be fun to make for Valentine’s Day. I wanted something small for my son’s teachers, and most of the bags that are in the store, are either too cheap, too big, or too young. Why not make one yourself, in the style you like? They were very easy to do, and […]
“Sweet Shark Valentine” Here’s a gift idea for your kids, or for their classrooms for Valentine’s Day. It’s pretty easy to make, and even if you just had to trace an outline and cut it by hand, it wouldn’t be too hard. I saw this project in the newest FamilyFun magazine, and thought it would be a great thing to do. It was very […]

The opinions are completely my own based on my experience.* I was so happy when I opened my mail and saw these: Once again, the Renaissance Festival in Arizona did not disappoint us!

“Clothespin Couples” Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and it’s the time of year that so many put emphasis on love and showing each other how we care. Shouldn’t we be doing that everyday? It always cracks me up how much people put into the 2nd week of February. Maybe it’s because I’ve been married for 14 years and have known my husband for […]
“40th Birthday Fun” #TBCCrafters Hop So, I turned 40 on Monday, crazy how time flies. I remember back in the day, I thought that 40 was really old, now that I’m here, I think that the “hill” has just gotten further away…or maybe it’s just because I can’t see it anymore! :p I lost my Dad when he was 43, and I really didn’t understand […]
Get Smart With Wisdomantics! I got the new Wisdomantics game from the FlyBy Promotions Blogger Network. I love bible games and it’s agreat way to do “homework” to learn more about God’s Word and have fun as a family doing it. I loved how it can be 2-4 players and is for ages 12 and up. Our son is 13 and most of the bible […]

Rainbow Braid Rubber Bands I’m a member of Blogger’s Required and recently heard about this company and what they were offering. I had heard a lot about the Rainbow Braid online, but never got to try it before. I received my package, which was packed really well and couldn’t believe how many were in there – you can make so many different bracelets from just these […]
Learn to Make an “Easter Egg Duct Tape Flower“ #TBCCrafters Hop I can’t believe it’s already April – crazy!! I guess when you live in a place that seems to never have had a winter this year, it’s weird to already be dealing with Spring. I saw this craft on the Duck Brand site and figured it would be fun to do for Easter time. […]

It’s not a national holiday, but is widely recognized and celebrated in various countries as a day when people play practical jokes and hoaxes on each other.

Help a Friend Out With a “Snowman Gift” I saw this little snowman on our local news Facebook page and was cracking up so hard, I couldn’t resist adding it for this week’s craft. We have our yearly get together with our church family every December, and we’re asked to bring a White Elephant gift, well this will be what we bring – ssshhh…don’t tell anyone!! […]
