The last few days have been stressful baby girl had shots. I got my flu shot. We been playing car shuffle. and on top of it all Christmas is still marching our way. I'm trying to keep on this and blog as much as I can. I want to keep up on it all. But lately even my fb has suffered I have found a temporary  new love pintrest lol I'm so hooked I just hope I don't spend all my time thinking of the things I could do and miss the chance to do them.

make your own wikki stix

So a while back the boys and I had went to this nice restraunt. To keep the boys quiet they had given them what they called wikki stix or bendaroos. Which are these cool little strings with wax on them and they bend and shape to your hearts content. Thats all it took to get my crafty little mind working. I had pushed the idea aside for quite some time. Today I drug it out and googled the instructions they came out super fun! Make sure you use dark yarn kuz the wax ring is dark in color. Im also going to try using pipe cleaners and see how it turns out. Super cheep and easy I must say. I cant wait to show the minions :D Happy crafting! http://www.crafttestdummies.com/crafts-for-kids/make-your-own-bendaroos/

My own touch on Christmas ornaments

So here is my ah-ha moment from yesterday.I spent so much time the day before running around trying to find ornaments that I liked and that would fit my color scheam for this year that I wore myself out. When I woke up yesterday I was talking to my mr mr about my etsy account and all the wonderful things for sale. Especially for the holidays. Then my mind started running and I found that if you take plain ornaments and paint them you can design how you want them to look. I used the cheep kind of ball style ornament and I had the paint on hand. I also found this works best on the non breakable ornaments. Because the paint dont peel off like on the glass kind. It works and they look so beautiful and I'm happy I made my own little touch. Happy crafting :D

I had a total ah-ha moment today. I spent most of yesterday searching for red oriments to put on my white tree. I ended up spending way to much time on $ on it. Only this morning to wake up and come up with my own idea for making cheep ones look good ill take and post picks on them in the morning its time for munchkins to get ready for school :D
