Although my kids are getting older, I still remember some of the great kid crafts that they did. The one that blew me away was done by my daughter at Girl Scout Day Camp when she was about 10. She came home and announced she had made a website. What did she say? …
Duck, Duck, Duck, Duct Tape!!
Isn’t it great how duct tape is the staple of all “diy fix it tool kits” and now it’s also a staple in the crafter’s kit? Who would have ever though that you could make so many cool things with duct tape? Unlike a lot of other crafting projects, you usually just need some tape…
Noro Bonbori Scarf
I just love Noro yarns. The colors are gorgeous and I really love the long color changes. I usually like to knit Noro yarn projects where the colors are showcased in big blocks. However when I was knitting up the scarf for my Christmas in July exchange, I found the Bonbori had so many…

Thin Mint #Hummus (Thin Mint “Cookie Dough”)
I told you that when I get jazzed about something new I become somewhat obsessive. Okay, VERY obsessive!

I have shared with you two of my recipes that turned out amazing: Spicy…

Lo-Cal Pita Chips
Can you say, “hot”….no how about, “HOT!” It was 102 degrees F yesterday at 6:00 pm and when I woke up this morning it was 80 degrees F at 6:00 am! I don’t know about you but when it’s roasting outside, I don’t like to be stuck in the kitchen. I prefer to make things like spicy…
Spicy Hummus
Have you ever wondered where the word “hummus” comes from? You know the “funny bone” is called humerus and if something is funny we will say it is humorous. Could these words all be related? Well, I’m going to say, “yes” and then have some fun with my hummus recipe. I have a great cookbook…
Batik with Glue (Blue Gel)
1960s/70s retro is so in. All those crafts: decoupage, batik, tie dye, granny squares, burlap and more. Of course, just like the goofy bell bottom jeans that came back as cool “flares” a few years back, these crafts have come back but are much cooler as well! My sister is a few years older than…
Ugly Plastic Tray No More!
Every time I come home from Goodwill, my husband just sighs. Although he shakes his head initially, he is always amazed at how things are transformed! I found an ugly green plastic tray for $1 but with some spray paint, pebbles, and floral water…well look at the transformation! Start with spray paint of choice and…
