School artwork displayed

My sister made this board for hanging up artwork or school work. She painted a MDF board black, applied the vinyl letters and used screws to attach the big clips. This way you don't have to have a million magnets on your refrigerator with artwork all over. You can also rotate the projects and as new ones come in the old ones can be thrown away or saved in a box.

Olympics + Creativity = Good Times

A delicious rice krispie mountain made by one of my sisters:

My niece and I made this light display for the Opening Ceremonies Party with inexpensive hula hoops and rope lights (after Christmas special 75% off!!!) and lots of small zip cords.

Freezer Paper

Freezer Paper is great for crafts. It is plastic coated on one side so kids can paint on the paper or use markers and it doesn't leak through. It is also 18 inches wide so kids have a big surface to work with. You can cover a table with the paper for a disposable table cloth when doing crafts. One fun craft project is making freezer paper stencils. The stencils can be ironed onto clothing and then you can paint designs on t-shirts. Look for details in an upcoming post.
