me and my girl

It is with great regret that I have to put out the lights on this little blog.  Time constraints make it impossible to keep up with.

My thanks to you for visiting!  And, of course, you can still find me and my girl here with an occasional crafty post.

Blessings to you!

sponge balls

I found the idea for these sponge balls on Betz White's blog.  These were fun, inexpensive and they work well in place of water balloons.  The best part is that they work over and over and over, with no refilling.  You can also dry them out and store them for later use.

They make for great summer fun!

tissue paper fun

tissue paper + white glue + notecards = fun!

With a few simple materials you can make adorable thank you cards or invitations to share with your girl.  Aubry and a couple of friends made some (dressed as princesses, of course!) a while ago and they became birthday cards.

Simply tear the tissue into small pieces (approximately 1/2" to 1" pieces).

Spread some glue onto the card (a 3" spot works well) and lay the tissue pieces on top, overlapping them.  Once dry, spread a thin layer of glue on top of the tissue for a shiny look.

Once I took a good look at this post, I realized that Aubry is absent from the pictures (OOOPS!), but I do promise that she was present and accounted for and wearing a princess dress. 

It is all about the style, you know!

Happy crafting!
