Craft Time

Andrew and I decided to exercise our crafty side
Yesterday.
This is Andrew's finished project.
Cute! Huh.
He is very proud of it and carried it around with him.
(he even fell asleep with it. To bad it's not Time to Decorate for Christmas yet)
(Sorry about the reverse order in pictures)

Painting with the free paints that came from my project.

I bought this @ Micheal's for $1.00
Andrew was pretty funny I had to talk him into using the paints he was content to just use crayons or markers but when I told him he could paint them he was ecstatic.

Now on to my project...
I made canvas pictures.
I purchased these canvas's at JoAnns for $1.49 they came with paints and paintbrushes (bonus for me because I am going to use these for a different purpose than what they are meant to be.
I painted the whole thing black and then I took a piece of scrapbook paper and cut to size then mod podged the canvas and scrapbook paper together.

WAALA..

My first attempt and honestly I am glad that I decided to go the cheap route because I had some road blocks with using the wrong type of glue.
(who would think that glitter glue wouldn't work the same way as mod podge)lol.
They turned out really cute and for $1.50 + paper I am thrilled to add another Holiday decoration to my little stash.

You make craft time look fun. My craft time ends up with time-outs for everyone, usually an unsuccessful attempt at an easy project, and a waste of money. You make everything look so easy. Your towels turned out so cute and the glitter projects and these pictures. They look awesome. Good Job Cindy!!!

Those look great. Modge Podge is my best friend (matte only, I don't like glossy). I use it on a daily basis. Well I don't usually use it on Sunday, but I do every other day.

It's Blabbing day today!! Are they kidding me? A day I can just go on and on about nothing? (I bet they created this day for the children)LOL! So I found a brand of shoes that I absolutely love to look at. I have not worn or own a pair but would love to in the future. I just think paying more than $20 for a pair of shoes is crazy! And most of there shoes are $50+ These are one of my favorite!! But I haven't been able to find them cheaper than $89 that's a little steep.(I think) I will find them cheaper you just watch. They might be out of style by the time I can purchase them but I will have them. I love these too! I think I have a new hobby.. collecting shoes, now if I could only afford them. I have a couple of kids who have a difficult time channeling their Anger. So we are thinking of putting them into AKIDO (martial arts). Akido focuses on using there energy to gain control, Not on striking their opponent. I might actually need to take a few classes myself. I find chann...

My last trip to Albertson's turned out to be the best! Yes, I know you are sick of me posting about shopping but I had a few of you ask.. How I do it? I ended up spending $1.77 for what you see in the picture. You ask how? Albertson's Ad had two double coupon certificates in their ad where they would double up to 3 manufacture coupons per certificate. There are a few sites I continuously go to print off coupons they are... Betty Crocker Coupon Cat Pillsbury Albertson's had a sale when you bought $30 worth of certain items you would get 3 $5 dollar coupons for your next purchase. I grouped all my coupons together to try to get the best deal I could. The first time I purchased it actually cost me $17 something but I had $15 for a next purchase. The trick was to get 6 $1 coupons which equaled $12 +$15=$27 ....out of pocket=$3 and then 3 more $5 coupons would print out and you beg your neighbor friends or anyone you can for more double coupons and go back I pretty much lived ...

Yesterday we had the Opportunity to meet the Author of FableHaven and CandyShop Wars Brandon Mull. When he got there he answered questions and was very personable. Then he started signing books and individually answered questions. He also had a few questions for us. He also signed posters for all the kids. (I have no idea what were going to do with 6 posters) (Maybe with the underlining message my kids will enjoy reading) The line was longer than we expected but we were there pretty early and had a chance to be 4th or 5th in line. (if my kids would have just got in line while I was taking kids potty) (I'm glad we got there when we did) Overall a great family (education) moment. (Yes, Mom I got your copy signed as well)
