Craft Hope

I love to craft. And I really love to craft for a purpose and Craft Hope gives us crafters just that.

Craft Hope posts different projects of items crafters can make and donate to help those less fortunate. What a great way to help!

The most recent project they partnered with is The Orphan Foundation of America’s Red Scarf Project. I myself am not a great knitter but my Mom is so I let her know about it and she sent 2 scarfs off last week! I still wanted to contribute so I made her some tags to go with them.





I'm sure they are going to help keep someone special very warm this winter!

Be sure to check out Craft Hope for details on their next project!

Today I Made

Today I made a pair of pants

and a snowman.

Great day.

It's FUN to Craft!

"I got a Niiiikon Camera. I love to take phoooootographs..." Paul Simon anyone? No? Ok. Moving on.

I did just get a beautiful new Nikon D90 though and I love everything about. I mean this camera has everything on it and can do just about anything but it's still missing something - one of those cute custom camera straps! I was so excited to hear that It's FUN to Craft was not only hosting her first GIVEAWAY but that is was going to be one of these straps! This thing is absolutely adorable and it has a super cute pocket on it for your lens cap, or whatever else you need to hold while shooting.

A valentine fit for a boy

Well lets face it Valentine's Day is not very boyish with all it's pink and red and hearts everywhere. Every February I scour the Internet to find a valentine that is "manly" enough for my son to send to all his little buddies at school. This year we came across this one from Family Fun and he was sold. I had actually picked out a couple of other ones but once he set his eyes on this bad boy he just knew in his heart it was the way he wanted to spread valentine cheer.

So we gathered our supplies

And off we went!

First I printed "I'm wheely glad we're friends!" on the sheets of card stock. I divided the paper into 4's and just placed the words on the bottom left corner (I thought I took a picture of this but apparently I was wrong!)

Then I let my l little guy loose with some paint and his toy car. This was so much fun for him!

After the paint dried he signed his name. I just love how he writes, backwards "J" and all!

Then we attached our little chocolate cars that we found at our local party store and we were ready to cross the finish line!

We had a blast making them and I think they are a great valentine for a little man to hand out to all his buddies!
