Rainy Day Fun!

Posted on Tuesday, September 7th, 2010 at 10:27 AM

I love being active with my kids and taking them outside. The more energy they use up outside the less likely my house will go from a nicely organized abode to a warzone. That being said, there are those rainy days none of us can ever avoid. On those days, it can be extremely tough for me to keep order in my house. I have to keep a back up of rainy day ativities to keep my kids' interests.

Fall leaves bring Festive Weaths.

Posted on Tuesday, August 17th, 2010 at 4:11 PM

Fall is just around the corner, as much as none of us want to admit it, but I like to take this time, when I have a breather, to get a jump start on my Autumn decor. I love creating arrangements for the Dining Room table as well as wreaths for my front door! My own, so I don't have the same thing as everyone else on the block.

Here is what I use:

Three Cheers for Thrifty Crafting!

Posted on Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010 at 11:27 AM

My kids love playing on sports teams. My husband and I love going to their games to watch them! With so many games and different teams they're on, it's difficult for me to justify spending so much money on shirts, hats and banners. I think you all know where this is going.

Create Pots to Make Your Garden Unique

Posted on Tuesday, June 8th, 2010 at 10:22 AM

I love gardening and making my backyard look special for my friends and family. Sometimes I feel like there just isn't enough variety of pot designs to go around. Some of the niftier looking pots tend to be pretty pricy, and I'd rather save money so I can buy more plants for my garden! I discovered that I could mix my own paints, along with mildewcide and pesticide to keep my pots clear of outside build up and protect my plants further from those pesky critters.

Add some layers to your Scrapbooking

Posted on Thursday, June 3rd, 2010 at 1:55 PM

Want to add texture and layers to your scrapbooks? Try using your favorite adhesive with your Preval Sprayer. If you have a thicker "tacky" type glue, simply thin it down, just a tad with some water, small amounts at a time, mix and spray! It will evenly spread across your pieces without a messy clean up and you can avoid bumps and bubbles on the backs of your embellishments!
