This year, because of year-round school, I needed to get the Halloween treats for the boys to pass […]

Okay! Back to share the little details on this faux coffee bag!
This was created for the PTI challenge yesterday to decorate a little bag. As I was reading thru the challenge post, she mentioned coffee bags and immediately I was wishing I had some. I love how they close simply by rolling the top […]

happy valentine’s day!

Published by waterpixie under paper crafting

I always have fun creating the Valentines for my boys to hand out at school. This year I decided to use Prehistoric Pals from SU! When I saw this set, I had to get it! Perrin loves dinosaurs and I’ve been wanting a cute, easy (no coloring) dinosaur set. This fit the bill!
I used non-traditional […]
