    Make a Summer Bucket List

    Ah, summer! My favorite time of the year is finally here. My parents were both teachers so summer meant a collective sigh of school being over and time to go camping, work in the yard (read, play in the sprinklers for us girls), and lots and lots of art projects. Not to mention one of…

  • Toddler-Friendly Salt Effect Watercolor Cards

    Toddler-Friendly Salt Effect Watercolor Cards

    I LOVE these cards. Last year I discovered salt effect watercolor cards but for some reason I never got around to making a tutorial. Maybe I thought it was too easy? (Or most likely, I just forgot about it.) Whatever the reason, I thought it would be fun to share this project for the last…

  • Art Books You and Your Kids Will Love – Lab Series

    Art Books You and Your Kids Will Love – Lab Series

    One of my favorite places to frequent at a book store is the crafting/art section. I’m sure you guessed that, right? I love pulling out the tomes on specific subject matter and learning new techniques. In the world of crafting, much of what I’ve learned has been through reading tutorials and carefully following the directions…

  • Kid’s Table Craft: Table Runner

    Kid’s Table Craft: Table Runner

    After I made napkin rings for the kid’s table, I had an entire cereal box that was crying out to be used. And since we were so busy decorating the kid’s table, I figured a table runner was definitely in order. You mean, your kid’s table doesn’t have a table runner? Oh well, I still…

  • Kid’s Table Craft: Napkin Rings

    Kid’s Table Craft: Napkin Rings

    The kid’s table. In some families, it’s a thing of legend. The tables off to the side covered in paper so the kids can draw on the “tablecloth”, the paper plates in bright, festive colors at each setting, and the centerpiece that ends up being a source of entertainment for the little ones. Whether or…

  • Make a Fireworks Postcard

    Make a Fireworks Postcard

    This fireworks postcard is the result of several different 4th of July craft attempts that failed. In other words, it was my fall-back craft, the one you do because you know you can getter done. If you’re interested, the original crafts involved ribbon (I thought they should at least make an appearance in the picture)…

  • 31 Boredom-Busting Summer Crafts

    31 Boredom-Busting Summer Crafts

    Ah, summer. It’s a blessing and a curse, isn’t it? As a kid, I remember eagerly waiting for the morning to come when I didn’t have to get up early and could play all day long. My sisters and cousins and I rode our bikes, played in the sprinklers, and made up various games. We…

  • A Summer Scrapbook

    A Summer Scrapbook

    When I was a kid, I loved making my annual summer scrapbook. Armed with paper, glue sticks, pens, scissors, and magazines, I would fill up page after page of the scrapbook with pictures of outfits I loved, lyrics from my favorite songs, and things I wanted to do during the summer months. My mom usually…

  • Printable Crafts for Kids

    Printable Crafts for Kids

    I received a copy of this Printable Craft Pack to review on my blog. However, I would have bought this craft pack anyway, because I am a huge fan of it! I think you’re going to love it too.   One of the best things about being a blogger is “meeting” other bloggers who are…
