Pretty 'n' Pink Party
Recently I had a small party all about pink! It turned out really cute and fun! It was a tea party like themed party.
We also did a craft. We took 3'x5' wooden picture frames, scrap booking paper, embellishments, and modge podge. It involves modge podge, it has to be fun, right?
Everyone did really good and they turned out really cute! I like them because they are all different! Try them sometime, their really fun, and remember, it's always alright to have a "just because party" anytime. They're good for you! Have fun and Good Luck!

Reycled Inspirations
Hi guys!
The temperatures are still really cold, and the snow heights are still really tall so I was stuck inside all day again! I tried to take advantage of that time but I had a creative block today! I did get to thinking though, about recycled crafts. The possibilities are endless! For example, yesterday, when making cheese dip with the Velveeta cheese block, I was about to throw the empty box away when I felt how strong the box was. So, I decided I would later cover the box in either music notes, comic pages, or scrapbook paper. I'm saving the box so it will become a Crafty Deed of the Day. For another example, when your done with your coke bottles yank off the top tabs and start to collect them. This way, when you collect at leas 22, you can make a bracelet! Remember, recycling things aren't all trash. A lot of those things have great potential!!! In honor of this, tomorrow through February 8, 2011 are going to have Crafty Deeds of the Day that require recycled things that every one will have around the house. Have fun with the things you have around the house! Good Luck!

Crafty Deed of the Day- Rainbow beaded coiled bracelet
...Good Night Guys...
I guess it would only be right to say that! I know that it's really late but I had a lot of things to get through, as all of you may know! This bracelet is color and easy to make. Note: your can adjust this bracelet to how you want it. I did a 12 coiled one with rainbow seed beads. You can change that to anything you'd like, like a 7 coiled one with purple e-beads. Just remember, bring YOUR creativity to this, and have fun! So, here's the bracelet!
Thanks! -Maddy

Crafty Deed of the Day- Paper Flowers
Hi Girls!
So today I went to a used book sale at my library. I need ed a couple of things and thought that would be a good place to get them. While I was browsing, a section caught my eye that would of never before, the comic book section! I was looking through them and thought, gee, everyone is using vintage music note sheets, why not use comics? They have adorable pictures and little words and some are even in color! The one I used for this craft was a black+white because I wanted the colored paper and embellishments to be the color for this project. This is a fun and easy way to add color and style to a room, a party, or even a door! Have fun with this project!

MATERIALS:
- Old comic book

- White card stock paper
- Large colored button
- Any flower template of your choice (three different size of each flower)
- Glue stick
- "No-Mess Adhesive"
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
- Take any flower template of your choice and trace all three sizes onto a plain sheet of white card stock paper, this will later serve as a strong "base" for each of your flowers, cut out.
- Take the biggest size of your flower template and the smallest size and trace onto your comic book sheets, cut out.
- Take the medium size flower template and trace it onto the colored paper of your choice, (I choose my paper to match my jumbo buttons), cut out.
- Take all of your cut out shapes and match them with the card stock backs you made earlier and glue the backs to the comics and colored paper with a glue stick.
- Take all three shapes and glue together to make the desired shape
- Take your jumbo button and glue to the flower's middle with "No-Mess Adhesive"

Crafty Deed of the Day- Saftey Pin Braclet
Good Afternoon Everyone!
This bracelet was inspired by the safety-pin brooches. It is a cute, comfortable, and inexpensive way to express your sense of style. Customize by it by choosing beads to suit your fancy! I hope you enjoy this project. Good luck!
MATERIALS
1. Depending on the size of your wrist, 75-85 safety pins- 55/$1.00 at Dollar Tree (2 packs)
2. "Medium weight" elastic (dollar store)
3. Beads around the house or ones purchased at the Dollar store. ( I used ones left over from a past craft)
4. OPTIONAL; Super Glue ($1.00)
TOTAL: About $4.00-$5.00
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS~
1. Fill the desired amount of pins with beads and close each pin
2. Measure around your wrist (make sure to allow for knot-tying space) and cut the elastic
3. Now fold the elastic in half (picture shown above) so there is a fold on one of the ends of your elastic. Put one half of the elastic through one end of a pin and the other half in the other end of the pin. Make sure to alternate the direction of the pins.
4. Repeat step 3 until bracelet is desired size
5. To finish the bracelet, tie a knot on both ends of the last safety pin. Now add a dot of super glue to both knots to secure it
Done! This Craft is adorable in the end! Have fun with it, be creative!
Until Tomorrow! -Maddy
