Zebra Heating Pads

Scented Zebra Heating Pads
I was having trouble coming up with a craft project because I was to focused on dealing with the pinched nerve on my neck. All my movements today were Robotic! My neck was not fully functional what-so-ever...so with that said, that inspired my craft project that was going to benefit me or someone else in my family at some point...Home-made heating pads!

Bookmark Your Cereal

Photobucket

I've used empty cereal boxes before for crafting since they're a great alternative to not having cardboard or card stock available. Or I'll just throw them in the recycling bin. I figured that this time I would actually use the printed side of the cereal box and create a bookmark for my daughter since she's reading chapter books now.

Fabulous Glitter Heels

I was visiting I Love To Create and couldn't pass up on blogging about this fabulous find! One because I love heels and two because I'm a big fan of Sex and the City. The heels shown on their blog were inspired by the movie SATC2 worn by Carrie Bradshaw.

I've been making flower pens as gifts and party favors and kept the pen caps to figure out what I could do with them since I can't put them back on the pens. So I put on my thinking cap and looked at the bag of pen caps that have been accumulating and just couldn't think of anything. I had my daughter help me come up with something we could create or find use for these pen caps. We both came up with some silly ideas and some that just didn't make any sense.

I decided to attempt the Craft Toothbrush Bracelet over at Two Hearts Together. My first attempt didn't go so well. I was excited to see the turn-out but it was a flop.

Noodle Art

Trying to keep the kids busy and bored-free during the summer is a great challenge for me. Since we had noodles still left over from our last project, I decided to have them come up with their own noodle art creation.
