Boogie down

Sometimes when he's eating, Baby Chuck busts out a move or two.
It's really cute.
But you can't blink or else you'll miss it!

A small favor

Hi everyone,

I had a small favor to ask.  Remember that cardboard reindeer head that I made awhile ago?



Well, I submitted my reindeer head to the Totally Green Crafts Contest.  I just found out that I'm one of the top twelve finalists.  Whoa!  I'm pretty excited and honored because there are so many awesome crapty projects in the running.

If you have a moment of  time, would you mind voting for my crapt?  (It's number 4. Reindeer Head)  You can click here to vote.  Polls will be open until  8pm Sunday November 25th.  Thanks so much for your support.

Friends

Here are some photos from this past weekend.  I had a lovely weekend hanging out and catching up with some college friends.








Hope you had a wonderful weekend too!

Crapty Fridays- DIY cardboard roll kaleidoscope

Last night I finally succeeded in crapting a cardboard roll kaleidoscope.  Yes!

Please excuse me while I do a happy dance.










My crapting dreams finally came true.  This was actually my fifth attempt at making a kaleidoscope. Yup, I tried four previous iterations and failed miserably.  So here's a big virtual thank you to Genuine Mudpie for her beautifully detailed and photographed set of directions.

Thank you!

Turkey Paper plate hat

Turkey Paper Plate Hat

This Friday, Baby Chuck (wait, should I call him Toddler Chuck since he's now older than one? Hmm...)

Back to what I was saying... this Friday our local library is holding a special Thanksgiving party for the babies and toddlers.  Last month they put together such a nice Halloween party, so we're really looking forward to seeing what surprises are in store.

I wanted to help contribute to the festivities.  After finding this great paper plate hat tutorial from Alphamom, I made a whole flock of turkey paper plate hats for the kids.

Note:  This was like the only good photo that we got of Baby Chuck wearing the hat.  It's a miracle that he sat still and din't rip it off.
