Rubber stamped paper Christmas ornaments are a really fun and easy project. Just grab a few stamps and some scrap paper and stamp a pattern on the paper. You may want to emboss and add glitter, too. Then, fold the paper in half and cut out a shape. This picture is of one of the […]
When I was playing around with Sculpy last week, I looked up and saw a bird laser printed copy I had and wondered if the toner would adhere to the clay. I ran the image and the clay through my pasta machine three times and then rubbed the back of the image some to be […]
I don’t have a completed project to show you today, so I thought I’d share a canvas I’m working on for a swap. I used a home decor leaf stamp to make the background. I still need to work on the bird’s beak and I’m not sure if I’m done with the eye. I’ve redone […]
I just picked up a copy of Somerset Holidays and Celebrations today. There are so many wonderful ideas for the different holidays in there. I can’t decide what to do first, so I’m doing something completely different until I make up my mind. I love that it isn’t just about Christmas or Halloween, since I’ve […]

I kept meaning to play with the Sculpy I bought and then today I had two sick kids home, so it seemed like the perfect time. They played with their clay and I played with mine. It takes some getting used to, but I think this was pretty good for a first attempt. I used […]
I bought quite a few craft books recently and thought I’d share my views on them for those of you who might be thinking about expanding your collection. Here they are:
* Creole Thrift: Premium Southern Living Without Spending a Mint - I was really disappointed. The cover looked very promising and the book was recommended […]
