My crafty weekend...

Took some time out for ME this weekend and got some crafting done....A few projects that I had in the back of my head and some that I had started already...

I am making the decorations for Molly's 4th Birthday. It's April 5th and she choose a ballerina theme. Everything will be pink, white and fun!


I made two of these cuties by painting and then sanding two little pots and using a styromphome ball inside and hot gluing these soap roses (Dollar Tree) to the ball.  They will go on the table. Cute huh!


I made this baby using a styrphome cone, wrapped it in satin ribbon, made a follwer ball at the top with coffee filters and used some tule ribbon.

I made a few of these using tissue paper and a pipe cleaner.  They are HUGE! I will hang them up frm the ceiling I think.  Dollar Tree for all supplies!

Easter Table Runner

Burlap 5 foot runner which I stenciled a bunny on it with my new favorite paint...Once it dires it will be a little less light in color and look older. (Burlap $ 3, paint $ 1)

Here is how I did this...

On line, found this cute bunny print, cute it out..

Measured my burlap and then frayed the end a little by taking out some threads.


Laid my stencil on and taped it



Used a sponge and this paint. (Same one I used for my Pottery Barn Egg Picture Project, see it here.)



Painted it and let it dry!



I have a lot of Easter decorations that will cute on this runner....

What did you do this weekend?

Dont forget about the Lego Mania Linky Party on Wednesday!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
