Quick Trash Bag

Looking for something that is portable to take along with you for a trash bin or trash place to trash your scraps for whatever craft you do, look no further, I had this problem and finally found this idea of taking a paper bag and rolling down the top and tossing in your scraps from crafting, or scrapbooking, or maybe put a few in the car for the kids in the car. once full toss and your done. easy fast and quick, let kids decorate for fun. I use them for scrapbooking and or when i'm making my charms, like sharpening my colored pencils shavings.  they fit great in the car or under your car seat. just an idea for those fas quick trash holder idea's.

Kids Night Out

On the weekends, I love to take the kids out to look at the hotels and maybe go in a few and let them play the arcades and enjoy some time with mom(me). and on this night we decided to walk down the strip someways and thenback up, and on our way back up to the car, we ran into some nice statue's and they wanted to take a pic each of a place they choose. so this is a few pictures we took, one of my youngest son with this neat statue, darth vader and a friend, and of course vegas pic of the new york new york.. we had a good time and continued down the ways and just took pic of whatever. Enjoy!

Friendship Books (FB's)

I recently learned what a friendship book is known as (fb's), something that is really small and very cute to make. I have made these little books for my daughter but not knowing that they were called friendship books. she used them for adding her stickers and important numbers of friends in. and we even used notebooks for making friendship booklets. but what I like of these little books are that they are sent to someone who wants them adds their info and then sent on again with other peoples' info  and sooner or later they come back to you. they are very cute and so much fun to make. if your a scrapbooker you will love these cute things. Here's several I have made, working on a few more to send some friends and can't wait to get them going and done. they only need a few sheets inside, mine have different colored sheets of writing paper cut down to size to fit inside the cover. stapled at the top and decorated. Mine have 4-6 sometimes 8 sheets inside. cute and a great gift to make and give to those important friends, who like to swap for them.

                                                                                         

Fun out on the town

Well today  was one of those hot days, but staying inside just doesn't cut it when you have kids who are constantly bored, so I decided to take 2 of my kids out and about to do some walking around the town. well around some of the neat places that they haven't seen before, and well of course lots of walking you just don't know what you will run into, and while at one of the hotels, we came upon a habitat where they keep 2 of the 70 something lions. and they had 2 of them out and we took some neat pic's, this one is 2 of the lions sleeping, and it's hard to see that there is a guy right up there with them. just hanging out and about with them as if he is one of them. and the other pic is underneath one of the lions, we took this pic to show how big and to be directly under them. I'm sure glad there was glas in between us. hope you enjoy!!!!

Feather Pen

Hello, Here's is another quick project to do in minutes, we all have pens laying around our homes. some have the tops and some don't, well alot of ours have been cracked due to someone standing or stepping on them, or sitting something heavy on the pen, and well alot of these are some pens that have been bought at the 99cent stores. alot of them my kids tke apart and we don't throw away anything if we can re-use or remake it with something else. and this is something we made with my daughters beads and a pack of feathers we had from another project. you will need some hot glue or any plastic/metal glue you can find at michaels or wal-mart.   and ofcourse a pen with the outside taken off, add your beads down the pen section as many as needed, I think we used 10 or 12 beads. have to count for sure. add them on, in any color you like, add alittle glue to every other bead to make sure it stays, once your at the end, add your feathers and sit aside to dry. and this is what you will end up with. Enjoy!!!

                  

Father's Day

Well for father's day this is one unusual thing to give to dad. A race! well  my son who just turned 16 decided to make a comment to his father about racing, yes a running race.lol  as you can imagine a 16 yr old and a 40 something yr old who use to run in his high school days decides to really take this challenge serious, and on the day of father's day we head out to my son's school, where the family members have gathered requested by my my son's father, not only is there family members, but a few family friends as well, cousins of course me and my son's girlfriend. as you can imagine what is going through these 2 individuals minds, who was going to win this race? well I guess my son knew he was going to win this race hands down, so we all stand and watch as these 2 warm up and well needless to say one warmed up really well and the other kinda warmed up by doing some squats.lol and when time came these 2 get to their  marks and you hear a family member yell"GO!!! and all I see is my 15 yr old out run his father by what it looks like nothing but big fast steps as dear old dad tries his hardes to run and pass his young 16 yr old son thinking he can run and win, but then you see nothing but a fast fly by 16 yr old and a 40 yr old slow down and the young man(16) out run his father.lol we all just laughed. it was funny and this sure will be a good day to remember till the next time they decide to do this again. just another fun exciting off the wall thing to do.lol

Taking a Break

Well as I sit here today in my nice cool home, I decide to take a little break from crafting, as I look around and see tings that need to be put away and all the stuff that has gone unoticed due to my crafting habit, I think"Wow" need to get these put away or get rid of and keep it put up. kids just don't seem to have time to help when it is needed. so I do this when tey are out and about. so will sit here and think of where this goes where that goes and if I really need this or that, I'm not sue how much will get done, but sure needs to be something that gets started on and today!! lol I guess it's being home with the kids and mostly alone at night, when they go to sleep, it's whenI get lonely and bored and need to feel like I'm making something useful as making a craft or starting a project. so will try to keep myself busy and go trough all this unused craft stuff and find new homes for it all. everything down to unused craft buttons. so as I type this I'm already knowing what and where I will get started. in my daughter's room where most of this crafty stuff is. she loves to craft too, so this is going to be something kind of hard to do. maybe I will give her a box to keep some of the craft items she likes and she can craft when she wants. so off I go and get some usefull work done. I will post some of my things as I go through before saying goodbye, and if you see something maybe youwouldlike to have or want, please feel free to email me anytime. it will be put into bags and collected until bag is full and will go out during this weekend. so you have time to check it out and give me a yell if you see anything you just have your heart set on having!!!! hopefully I will get back into crafting once I ave actually made room for other things and new things.lol so see you around and watch for the goodies to pop up, once they are gone and spoken for they will be removed and on it's journey. Thanks so much for checking my crafty creations out and I don't mind parting with anything you see on here. just let me know and I can either send it to you if I still have it or remake another one for you.
                                                                                         Have a wonderful Day!!!
