Life with a toddler

So, I live with a two- year old and let me tell you my life is never boring. The other day, while I was checking my face book account he decided he was going to paint the tile floor with black crayon.   Well I did not have a magic eraser with me so... I scrubbed and I scrubbed.   Ahhhh parenthood.  There are moments that either make you laugh or make you cry hysterically!

Medium towel 17 x28 in or about that.
you can use pieces of color paper or sunglasses for the eyes. These always bring a smile to folks old and young.

Rocking, Buffalo- Tuna Salad!

Hello Dear Crafters,   Well as you know a busy mom has to know how to feed her family quickly, and economically.   But it still has to taste yummy.. so I decided to fix my tuna salad and give it a kick so my hubby would eat it.   I used a small packet of water soaked- albacore tuna.  Three table spoons of miracle whip, and 3 table spoons of buffalo sauce.  Cut two scallions and add to mixture.   Add pepper to taste, and your favorite bead and condiments.  It was delicious.. and very simple.

Coupons for Crafting!

Hello Crafters, if you have a Michaels or a Joanns craft store near by,  this week is coupon week, so you can get all kinds of deals on your crafting supplies. 

I gave my mom the hand-painted glass vase and she loved it!  I need to go to the store and by more paints,  I'm short on colors and I have a 50% off coupon that I can not let go to waste.  So print out those coupons and go go go! Product of the week:  St. Ives apricot scrub...  It is under four dollars,  you can find it anywhere and it works wonders for your skin.   I use it 4 times a week and it really keeps my black heads in check. 

Tip of the day:   Leave the house with out an ounce of make up, not only will it give your skin a much needed break,  but it will empower you to show off your natural beauty.

Craft item I totally want:  I want a Martha Stewart embossing gun,  but don't want to pay full price....  wanted one for two years now!  Maybe today is the day..
It has been raining all week straight here in Riverview, FL.  perfect crafting weather.

Lets see what develops! 

Best Products of the week!

Here are pics of my favorite hair products all under $6.00 dollars!
My favorite is the Nice n Easy color seal product.. not the easiest to find, but leaves hair really shiny and does not weigh your hair down. :)

Glass Painted Vase Finished!

Here is the final stage of the glass- painted vase;the picture! 

Glass Painting Day!

I tried painting a glass vase with Peebo 160 glossy paints, it went really well.   It's a lot different from painting on paper or canvas, so it took some getting used to, but I really enjoyed it and I enjoyed the results.  I'm curing the product now in the oven so that it can be hand washed and the paint will remain permanent.
