Washer Necklaces...

I saw this idea on The Creative Crate and immediately went to a hardware store near my home to get some washers. Let me say, these become very addicting!



A few changes we made to the instructions were:
**we used Mod Podge to glue the paper onto the washers. Once they were dry we put a top coat of Mod Podge on the paper.
**we used Aleene's Paper Glaze (I got it at Michael's) instead of Diamond Glaze.

They turned out great! My girls absolutely love them and can't wait to make more!

Father's Day Card & Gift Idea

This is what my Dad and FIL's are getting this year for Father's Day. I fell in love with the milk carton treat box idea after seeing it somewhere on the web. I found a great tutorial here on how to make them. I plan on filling them up with their favorite treats. As for the card, it's a design that I came up with on my own.



I plan on making more of the milk carton boxes and having them on hand for birthdays, Visiting Teaching gifts, etc. They are adorable, and lots of fun to make!

2 Wins in One Week!

I guess it was my lucky week! I won two different giveaways....WooHoo!

My daughters adore this Capri Sun bag and matching coin purse I won from Trash to Treasure. We've been saving our Capri Sun pouches so we can learn to make them this summer.

And I can't wait to get this book that I won from Some of This and Some of That. I need all the ideas I can get to keep my kiddos busy this summer!
Thanks ladies for some great giveaways! Be sure to check out their blogs for great ideas, and more giveaways!

Cute Tiles...

My girls made these cute tiles for me at one of their Activity Days. I'm the 10-11 year old Activity Days Leader, so I bought some tiles and had the girls in my group make them too. We gave them to their mothers at our Mother/Daughter Activity last Saturday.


They turned out adorable!! And they are so simple to make! All you need is some scrapbook paper, a picture, some Mod Podge, and a tile (these are 7x7)....my kind of project!

I ended up buying some extra tiles so I can make some Christmas gifts with them. Can't wait to get started!!

Trash to Treasure

My creative cousin Lorie has started a blog called "Trash to Treasure" featuring all the fun stuff she makes from recycled items. She's doing a giveaway every week, so be sure to check it out!
I just love these juice carton purses! I've been saving them up so I can learn to make them. I'm hoping that I can get to it this summer, but we'll see!!
