Check out this
FuN idea from:
Childhood 101 where Christie made this FaBuLouS kids ice cream shop from a cardboard box! How awesome is that?!! She figured her total cost to make this was $10.15!! Definitely affordable! My kids would have a BLAST playing in this! For a tutorial on how she made this...go here!!Thanks so much for sharing this FuN idea Christie!
From this:
To this!
How
FuN is this?!! My sis-in-law made this
SuPer CuTe kitchen for her little girl... from a cabinet that she bought @ DI. I absolutely
LoVe it!! She also made her daughter a matching apron to go along with it! I'm sure she is in little
KiTcheN HeaVen :)
GreAT JoB Susan!!
Here is a super
FuN and
EaSy necklace idea that you could make with your kiddos!
To make these you need:
-a wooden circle that I bought @ the craft store {the thinner the better}
-a metal jewelery ring {found by the jewelery making supplies}
-super cute sparkly pink felt that I found @ Michaels
-tacky glue
-paint
-drill
-nylon cording that I bought @ Walmart
First we painted our wooden disks...cut a heart out of felt...glued the heart on...drilled hole in the top...put the metal ring in...hung with nylon cording, or it would be super cute with ribbon. Then...I just tied ours in a knot at the top. SuPer EaSy!
HaVe FuN!
Isn't he
FuN! My mom's ward actually made these a couple years ago...and I just think they are too cute, so I had to share! My 2 year old loves to go up to him and poke his eyes and mouth. :)
To make him: All you need is 3 different sized logs, painted white, 7 med. sized buttons, 2 large buttons, a piece of orange craft foam cut in the shape of a carrot, 2 twigs from your yard, a dollar store hat, and a scarf made from fleece fabric. Then... just glue the wood logs together with wood glue...and glue the buttons on with hot glue... drill holes {at an angle} in the middle layer of log...and stick your sticks in! Sooo EaSy! Wouldn't he be CuTe sitting on your front porch greeting your guests?!! :)
HaVe FuN!
Wouldn't this make a
FuN gift for a new little one?!!
So Stinkin' CuTe! I came across this at
I Love This and That where
Hailey made this from a towel, batting and a little yarn! Sooo Sweet!

Hi All!!
I'm back from a very FuN & BuSy Holiday break! Whew... I really shouldn't have slept in {everyday} till 9:30...because I sure am feeling the effects when I have to wake-up and get the kiddos ready for school. :) But... I SuRe ENJOYED it!! I hope you all had a FuN and SaFe holiday also! :)
Anywhoo... now that Christmas is over...I thought I'd share a few projects that I was busy working on.
Magnet Boards for my nieces
Here's how I made them:
First...I sanded the cupboard door down...then instead of using a metal sheet...I used magnetic paint that I bought @ Home Depot. Then I painted the magnetic paint on the center panel of the cupboard door. I put on about 7 coats of paint before the magnets from my fridge would stay put...and realized that it wasn't strong enough to hold up a paper...so...I went to JoAnn's and bought some metal heavy duty magnets, and thankfully they worked perfectly. Then...I painted the outer edge of the cupboard...sanded the edges...and wiped stain on them. Then...screwed {mug} hooks into the bottom {so that they could hang their necklaces}...and drilled holes in top...and hung with wire.
HaVe FuN!
A FuN earring holder ! 
I've seen a ton of these floating around on the Web...and I've thought that they are sooo Stinkin' CuTe {and} functional.
To make this one...I found an old frame...{that my friend didn't want anymore :)} spray painted it...and rubbed stain {with a cloth}...over it. Then...bought fabric window screen @ Home Depot...and cut it to fit inside of frame...and used my trustee staple gun...to secure around the edge. Then...I found a scrap piece of ribbon and stapled to the top..and hot glued a flower on the bottom! Very Simple, CuTe and Inexpensive!
HaVe FuN!
When I showed these to my daughter...she loved them...and wanted to take them for her school Christmas party. And...I was thinking... these would also be perfect for neighbor goody plates!
All I used was...mini powder sugar donuts...and frosting. Or...you could use...a carrot for the nose...and mini choc. chips. Either way... they would be AdoRaBle!
Here is a pic of another personalized towel that I made. This one is similar to the ones I made
here...but instead of using fabric glue under the letters...I used strips of Stitch Witchery that I bought @
Walmart... ironed them on...and
zig-zagged the edges. Then I added strips of ribbon on both ends of towel...and stitched those edges. I bought this towel @ Target for {i think} $4.99...and I already had ribbon and fabric...so I think total cost of this gift was about
$6!
SuPer EaSy...and SuPer CuTe!!

Isn't he FuN! My mom's ward actually made these a couple years ago...and I just think they are too cute, so I had to share! My 2 year old loves to go up to him and poke his eyes and mouth. :) 
Start off with 7 Popsicle sticks...
Cut all but 2 to the same dimensions above. {I use tree pruning shears to cut mine.}
Mod Podge the paper to the sticks...
Turn the sticks face down and glue the 2 sticks that go across...
then glue your bottom sticks on...
then when dry...flip your sled over and glue on your header stick...
then...when dry...flip sled back over...and glue some jute for the handle!
And there you have it!!!
