DIY Carrot Gift Tags For Purim!
The pressure is on folks, with Purim happening tomorrow night, and that means I must fit in a few creative projects, because otherwise the holiday just wouldn’t feel right, to me that it, I don’t think anyone will notice. Thanks to the large plastic bag pom poms on our living room now for months, well the house looks like it is ready for a party anytime, phew! That said, the mishloach manot, gifts of food for neighbors and friends and teachers (I’m done with that!) and folks we need for acknowledge or give thanks to, does need to happen! For the past two years I’ve given everyone a really nice…

I am reposting this because it is one of my all time favorites, and really festive. Plus you can use wrapping paper that you have hanging around, and it is the perfect size to put on your front door.

A fun DIY castle centerpiece made from recyclables is truly up my alley, and so this project from the past is still one of my very favorites.

Now as far as you dear reader are concerned, a colorful castle crafted…

DIY Cardboard Roosters Make Perfect Party Decor!

Ever thought about using some recycled cardboard to make some fun cardboard roosters? Truthfully, I hadn’t either, but after making a black rooster and a white rooster, well I just want to make some more. I made them to use as stage props in a school play, but they’d look great in a child’s room, or even in your kitchen, so have some fun and make…
