It’s so nice to share something special with your favorite pals. Here Grace created a series of BFF necklaces for herself and two special friends. She chose just the right colored strings from the “Yarn and String” bin, then made pretty paper hearts to adorn them with the special messages held between friends. Grace has lucky friends.

Some things are better said on paper. Thoughts and expressions can roll along easily that way . Any old paper will do, even drop cloth paper!

Here a lovely portrait comes to life with a little activity paint and some long easy brush strokes that speak a lilting air…

wonderful.

Cardboard

This S was one of the letters created during Alex’s birthday party. The “Ice Breaker” craft letters were cut from cardboard for each guests name . How they embellished them was the way they dipped their toe into freeform creativity.

Sarah wanted her S to express a few of her favorite things, picking from the “tickets & tags” bin and the” small treasures” bin gave her just what she wanted. A unique twist on monogram letters don’t you think.

Even though the holidays are still far off, there is nothing like an ice cold snow man during the hot days of summer! This snow man is magical too with drift wood wings, a shamrock nose, pipe cleaner scarf, and foamy feet. The magic is the smiles that delight the faces of all who see this magical frosty.
