MERRY CHRISTMAS! (AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!)

Hello crafters!

Today I'd just like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! I'm spending my Christmas break in Florida, so no snow for me! ;P You're also not going to see any crafts from me while I'm on break because I don't have any way to make crafts down here. :( Anyway, how are you spending your Christmas break and what did you receive for Christmas? Leave a comment below and tell me! :D

May your Christmas be crafty,

It's A Snow Day!!! Hooray!

Hey crafters are you frozen yet? :)

Well crafters today is a snow day and you know what that means right? Yeah, NO SCHOOL! :D Hooray! So, I wanted to show you the snow that was responsible for giving us this fabulous day off. All you have to do is scroll down and see the frozen tundra. :)








Haha! So, did you enjoy that? The cats sure did, they love the snow! :) Just so you can know which is which, the Siamese cat (dark one) is Sam and the yellow fluffy cat (red Persian) is Spencer. They gladly volunteered to pose for pictures. :) Well crafters, I hope you enjoyed these pictures because my feet literally froze to my front porch while I was taking them. ;) Anyway, I hope you enjoy this lovely snow day and stay warm everyone! (Psst! Oh, and hope for another snow day! *wink*)

The Last Update For The Day On My Little Sister's Crafts!

Hello for the last time today crafters! ;)

This is the last update I have for you today on my little sister's crafts! This is actually a craft she made today! :) It was for a 'play' she was doing for all her stuffed animals. This is supposed to be her tweety bird! :D You can see it below, it was completely made out of modeling clay.




So, pretty neat huh? I really hope you liked these crafts because I love the fact that my little sister is so into crafting! It's really great that arts and crafts live on in some children because it really is an amazing hobby. :) Thanks so much for reading everyone and have a very happy Sunday.

May your day be crafty,

Another Update On My Little Sister's Crafts!

Hello again crafters!
Here's the second craft from my little sister that I'm going to feature! This is another extension from a project that I did a few posts ago! Here the link to the tutorial if you missed it :) :  

She made this craft along with me and she loved it! She actually colored it herself and she took the pictures herself! :) Now, without further ado her lovely pictures!





Just so everyone knows the green lines (according to her :) ) are lines of seaweed! Haha! Like I said before she has quite the imagination! :) Thanks for reading everyone!

An Update On My Little Sister's Crafts!

Well hello crafters,

I realized that I never showed you my little sister's puppet that she made. So, all the posts today are dedicated to my little sister's crafts! Now, let's start with her paper bag puppet! It's a cat, wearing a purple dress. Yeah....She's got quite the imagination! :D Anyway, on to the pictures!






So, as you can see it's an orange cat wearing a purple dress! :D I giggle every time I see it, I'm so proud of her for liking arts and crafts! She's the best! :) Thanks for reading and look out for more of my little sister's crafts!

I'm Sure You've Seen It But!

What's up crafters?

Today I've got something very different for you to watch. This video has nothing to do with crafts, but it cracks me up everytime I see it. It has over 20 million views so I'm sure most of you have already seen it, but I thought I'd share it anyway. :)
