I am so excited to share these Wood Advent Calendar Activity Coins with you today!! I made a beautiful Felt Advent Calendar that I shared with you yesterday, but I needed the activities to put inside. I didn't want to just write the activities on a piece of folded up paper- that's no fun! I wanted something more concrete and sturdy. Like wood. I used little round wood discs that I bought at Michaels, and used a transfer method that I'll teach you to transfer the activities that I printed ... [ Read More ]
No-Sew Flower Hair Clips
I saw these adorable fabric flowers by Jolee's Boutique at Michael's today and I HAD to have them. They come in a pack of two for scrapbooking or other crafts, but I instantly pictured them as cute (and easy) hair clips and headbands for my daughters.

I've been drooling lately over all of the pretty lace boot socks that I've been seeing everywhere online. I love the look of the lace just peeking out over the top of a tall pair of boots, and since I practically live in boots in the fall, I knew I either needed to buy a pair or make some pronto. And while I will pay $35 or $40 for a meal, for scrapbooking supplies, or for a cute shirt, I will not pay $35-$40 for a pair of socks! And I assume since you are here reading ... [ Read More ]
Thanksgiving Mayflower Ship
As I was browsing through the Pottery Barn Kids catalog a few weeks ago, I fell in love with some little felt ships they were selling for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately they were all sold out, so I had to get creative and make my own! These Mayflower ships would be so cute placed at the kids' table during the Thanksgiving meal, or on each child's plate, filled with crayons or treats to keep the kids busy until dinner is ready. To make these ships, you will ... [ Read More ]
