Stamped Tags Swap

My Scrapping Message board friend (Mellie) & I are doing a "Stamped Tag Swap". Here's what I made... I hope she going to like them!

Back to School

Audra's 1st Day of 5th Grade!

Teacher's Survival Kit Gift

Thanks to SUZELLE...my friend-fellow scrapbooker-Girl scout leader-internet blogger-crafter-elementary aide- & mommy EXTRAORDINAIRE... I had this little project to "throw together" for my daughter's teacher. Believe it or not, I had almost everything on the suggested list of items, But, I will confess to some serious digging to rummage it all up... It includes a Scroll (attached at the top of the paint tin) that explains the contents: things like...Rick Rack for a school year filled with ups & downs and a Wiggly Eye for when you wish you really did have eyes in the back of your head and a Battery for you to keep going, going, going and a Star to remind you to shine and a Clothespin to help you "hang in there" and a Rubber Glove to lend a helping hand and a Flower Pot to remind you that you are here to plant seeds for the future and a Snowflake for when all else fails, Pray for a snow day. and a Penny because as a teacher...you're priceless. I hope my daughter's teacher gets as much of a kick out of this as I did putting it together for her!!!

Daughter's Dramatic "DO & DONATION"

My dear Daughter wanted to donate her hair to "Pantene Beautiful Lengths"

for wigs to be made for those who've lost their hair due to treatments for cancer.

I'm so proud of her for wanting to do this....

and the bonus is her new hair-do is DARLING!!!

Jewelry Making

I've had several BRACELETS on my crafting to-do list since before LAST summer

and I've finally finished them......WooHoo!!!

The felt bead cutie is my most recent project...and I am going to be seen about town in it a lot this winter....it was a distraction project from watching the Olympics 24/7.....

And the clear & silver glass beaded numbers have already been worn numerous times...They are just what I wanted for my summer wardrobe.

Felted Soaps

Yesterday, instead of knitting, with my "knotty knitter" girlfriends

...we still decided to play with wool, But in a Different Way.

We felted bars of soap!!!

It was fun & easy.....and we've all got cute little bars of "scrubby soap" to decorate our sinks or showers....or maybe even give as gifts....

Having a Teenager...

...means sooner or later your house just may get decorated in TP!!!

I've heard plans are afoot to payback the attackers....

I sure hope a war isn't being started.
