When I signed up here for 31 Days of Kids Crafts, I knew it was gonna be a challenge for me. Just to write for 31 days straight, post it & share is a bit of a stretch but I thought it would be a good challenge for me. I was wrong. A few things […]
Make Dollar Store Plates Spooky with Paint
I often don’t know what I’m gonna paint on stuff I buy. Hence my workshop is full of shelves brimming with “paintables”, as in To Be Painted. Like TBD (to be determined). Like FOP (full of potential). But when I saw these black plates at the dollar store, I knew exactly what I wanted to […]
Dollar Store Spooky House
Last month when I went on a buying rampage bought a few things at the dollar store, I picked up a felt haunted house. With absolutely no idea what I was gonna do with it. But, hey, it was only a dollar. You hear me, don’t you. (I was totally gonna say ‘you feel me’ […]

Mother’s Day Craft Project – Dipdot Lilacs
With Mother’s Day right around the corner, I wanted to come up with some quick and easy projects. “Dipdots” are a fun way to paint, for both you and the kiddos! For this lilac painting, I grabbed a paper gift bag from the dollar store. I used two shades of purple – Light Lavender […]
Paint Bunnies & Chicks in 15 Minutes Or Less
Guess what?!? Easter is this Sunday! As in . . . like, 4 days from now. Guess what else? I have nothing ready. Not a ding-dong thing. I take that back – I now have a cutie-patootie bunny & chick tray that took less than 15 minutes to paint. Yep – less than 15 minutes […]
