When it comes to spring there are few things that make more happy than glitter and crafting. Except maybe sun and a temperature over 80, but as I see mother nature has a sense of humor this year, we are gonna go back to crafting. And when it comes to crafting in my house nothing reigns … Read more
Now that we have started Mardi Gras in town, it’s a reminder that Easter is just around the corner. I know some of you are going NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, but it’s true. Plus by the time Easter gets here, its spring, so there is that. Yesterday I hopped (see what I did there?) over to the craft … Read more
When Charlotte was a little girl (well..littler girl) we always looked forward to egg decorating. The only problem was it took 20 minutes to boil eggs and about 3 minutes for the dying fun to end. Now egg decorating is nearly an art (see my Egg Decorating Board on Pinterest) and you don’t want the … Read more

Paper Fortune cookies are a ton of fun! They are easy, can be adjusted for any holiday or topic and are great to give! Plus, they are pretty much craft novice proof.

I started doing Valentines in early January and wanted to have 30 different Valentines Day Crafts or cooking articles done and this is number 21.
