Mini Dog Bone's

Another  cute creation is these cute adorable shirt pins, and yes they are mini dog bones.lol  and these are great for those dog lovers in your life(as gifts only)  in order to make it safe you can use non toxic tempera paint, this is a safe paint. if you use acrylic paint, you need to make sure no dogs or animals will be able to get ahold of these. 
     All you need is some mini dog bones, or whatever size you prefer, and paint them a few coats, these were given 4 coats and let dryed for 2 hrs to make sure they dried completely, once dried, you add a ribbon bow already made or you can make them yourself.  add a pin size glue spot and adhere your ribbon to front. and this is what you will get. you can make any dog bone into ornaments for your tree, or glue onto frames, either way you use them plain or painted, will make a cute gift. you can also make mini bones from sculpey clay.

Drink Pouch Coin Holders

When you have kids who drink from these capri sun drinks, or kool-aid jammers then you should have lots of these around, if  not then grab some and get to saving, and you can make these coin holders for your kids to keep their money in. I've been making these off and on all year long, given some away, used some for raffles(gifts) as well as for my daughters girl scout troop, they love them. they still come to me and ask if I can remake them for their friends. so I do. I love to use them for myself. I always get compliments on them and get lots of questions. so here are my coin pouch money holders, in both patterns. plain and regular print. Enjoy and if you have questions please feel free to ask. I have used stickers(fun foam) to decorate them up more.magnets and or velcro to keep them closed.

Hair Bows

Once again I'm sitting here looking at things and how to recreate something from recycled stuff, and as I have used dryer sheets for other things like crafting with it, here is another one to add to the list, not only do they make your shoes smell good, or make odors dissapear in bags and purses, or in the sock drawers, they make cute crafts as well here is my hair bow made from 1 sheet, folded and cut the ends and wrap a piece of scrap material in the middle, add your hair pin backing of your choice and here is what you will get, add a cute heart bow and voila your bow is complete. many ways of creating these for your outfits.

fast and easy to create. and something you already have around the house.  I make bows from duct tape as well and will get that one posted soon. more crafts coming soon.Enjoy!

FamilyPets

In my spare time when kids are at school or at night when they sleep, i like going outside and spend time with our dogs(chow chows) I love watching them run and play with eachother, and just act like kids theirselves. nothing puts a smile on my face than just sitting back and watching them play, I enjoy loving on them and petting them, suvh furry babies they are. they are always glad to see you and want to give furry kisses, so I thought I would share some of my furry babies with you here, I hope you enjoy and these are just a few of them. most of our dogs are show dogs and go to shows on the weekends. and made cahampions by the age of 1 which is remarkble, theyare all very layed back and very tamed as they have to be, not only because of us having kids around but because of them being in dog shows. gotta love them! top pic is mom and daughter, daughter is the cream chow red is mommy, and on bottom is puppy from another litter we had,  Enjoy!!
