Gasp!! A Craft {sort of}

I am constantly amazed at the talent and creativity in blogland!  There are women with power tools out there and everything in between and I am impressed!

Well, I would not be one of them.

But I have figured out how to join Pinterest and have started to save some of the things that I might actually be able to do.

Case in point...

Cute Crayons

I bought this ice cube tray at HL and had to break some perfectly good crayons to put in here.  {Gone are the days when I had buckets of broken crayons:-) }

Pretty easy ~ I thought I would use red, yellow and green to make the leaf crayons.  I know, sooo creative!!

Just bake at around 250 for about 10 minutes, or until the crayons are liquified.  After they are cool, pop them out.

So easy.

I popped them in a bag and tied with a green ribbon to mimic the stem.  Do you see it?

  I know, my girls didn't either.

Paired with a coloring book, it makes a cute little activity for busy people.

Makes me wish I had stocked up on those 15 cent crayons!!

A Little Tease

Here is a picture of "our" latest project. I say our loosely as I am just watching at this point. This is my Christmas and birthday present and I don't need to tell you I am thrilled.

I have always wanted a playhouse - my grandma had one when I was little and I loved playing in it. It brings back a lot of fun memories and I wanted to do the same for my grandchildren. This one is pretty small as you can see from the picture. But pretty large on the cute factor. We have the perfect spot in our yard - very shady - and the grass doesn't grow there anyway. I'm hoping this looks like the dwarves cottage in Snow White.



Today Bob is painting the outside and I am hopeful that Laura and Jessica will paint the inside tomorrow. Then my fun will begin!
