Make a Summer Bucket List
Ah, summer! My favorite time of the year is finally here. My parents were both teachers so summer meant a collective sigh of school being over and time to go camping, work in the yard (read, play in the sprinklers for us girls), and lots and lots of art projects. Not to mention one of…

Toddler-Friendly Salt Effect Watercolor Cards
I LOVE these cards. Last year I discovered salt effect watercolor cards but for some reason I never got around to making a tutorial. Maybe I thought it was too easy? (Or most likely, I just forgot about it.) Whatever the reason, I thought it would be fun to share this project for the last…

If you’re interested, the original crafts involved ribbon (I thought they should at least make an appearance in the picture)…

31 Boredom-Busting Summer Crafts
Ah, summer. It’s a blessing and a curse, isn’t it? As a kid, I remember eagerly waiting for the morning to come when I didn’t have to get up early and could play all day long. My sisters and cousins and I rode our bikes, played in the sprinklers, and made up various games. We…

A Summer Scrapbook
When I was a kid, I loved making my annual summer scrapbook. Armed with paper, glue sticks, pens, scissors, and magazines, I would fill up page after page of the scrapbook with pictures of outfits I loved, lyrics from my favorite songs, and things I wanted to do during the summer months. My mom usually…

Printable Crafts for Kids
I received a copy of this Printable Craft Pack to review on my blog. However, I would have bought this craft pack anyway, because I am a huge fan of it! I think you’re going to love it too. One of the best things about being a blogger is “meeting” other bloggers who are…
