    I meant to buy and missed it. $20 for a 3 hour class that's usually $45. If you know someone who'd let me buy it off of them, I'd appreciate the tip! Or if you live in the Grapevine area and know where I could find a comparable coupon? Thanks. 2 posts – 1 participant […]

    What do you do with all the Xmas cards you receive? In pre-kid life I've used them as backgrounds for scrapbooking or even turned them into other cards. Now, most of the cards I get have someone's kids on them and I feel bad chucking them in the trash (or recycling). I'm thinking DS might […]

    A few years ago there was a home party buisness with Crayloa craft kits all in a yellow box. The company has shut down, but I hope there are some "left over" products out there. I just had my 3rd baby and I would love to get a "Big Pig" bank. My other 2 have […]

    This weekend I helped my daughters make "stepping stones" for Daddy and their grandmas for Christmas. It has now been over 24 hours, and they still don't appear to be dry–they are still damp on the towel that I changed out at about 18 hours post-project; one has broken =( and the others' edges seem […]

    I'm a total saver of old Christmas (and birthday, for that matter) cards – they're just too pretty to throw away! But I have a huge stack now, and was wondering if anyone has any cool ideas for crafts or other projects (for kids and/or adults) using old cards. Thanks! 17 posts – 1 participant […]
