Spring and Easter Crafts, Spring Artwork and Designs


Coloring Easter Eggs with Kool-Aid


Hello Everyone and Happy Spring! If you celebrate the Easter holiday, Happy Easter. Spring is just about here in the Pacific NW, USA. Our temperatures seem to be a bit warmer each day. Although I don't care for really hot temperatures, it will be nice to have things warm up some.

Each season brings fun craft projects to do with the kiddies. If you will be coloring eggs for Easter, take a look at the link above on the Frugal Girls site. They also have a page filled with more fun Easter crafts that could just as easily be used for spring time. Their site is filled with loads of fun. Visit this List of Easter Crafts and see if you don't end up staying for awhile.  :)


Now on to some Spring time artwork.

Many Blessings,

Having Fun With Summer Crafts and Featured Summertime Art

Hello Everyone and Happy Almost Summer! Here in the Pacific NW we're still having cooler than normal temps. I know that in the next several days however that things will probably start to warm up. Many of you are already having loads of hot weather and are probably looking for ways to keep the kiddies entertained now that school is out. I've gathered a few fun crafts that you can do with them and they shouldn't cost very much at all!

Coloring on Hot Rocks

I found the hot rocks coloring idea at the Eighteen25 Blog with their feature of this fun summer craft. Hop over and check it out! I don't know why I hadn't thought of this very simple and creative idea myself.


Googly Eyed Snake Creatures

If you're into recycling with your craft supplies, this Googly Eyes Snake Creatures project will definitely keep you and your kiddies entertained. There are lots of kiddie craft projects on the Eighteen25 blog so definitely check them out if you need inspiration.

And now, our featured summer fun artistic designs!

Making Gifts For Mother's Day, Featured Mother's Day Designs

It seems like just a couple of months ago that I celebrated Mother's Day and here we are with another chance to celebrate the Mothers in our lives. I thought I would share a few craft ideas I came across to help you and your little ones create some Mother's Day gifts.

Check out this adorable tutorial for making paper flowers. These can be used to decorate a gift box or make them with a stem and put in a pretty vase for Mom.


Visit the full tutorial posted by Sara at her blog - Mr. Handsome Face

Another cute tutorial I found is on YouTube for making your own artsy card for Mom.
This tutorial is by the Illustrator Shoo Rayner and he does make it look quite easy to make. I'm sure you could use this idea and use pens, pencils, markers, color crayons or whatever you like. 

Maybe there are some Dads that want to help their little ones make a cute gift for Mom that is inspired by nature. 

You can find this tutorial at Our Big Earth.

Now for some Artsy Features to help get you even more inspired with gift ideas for Mom!

Recycled Crafts, Art Tutorials, iPad Mini Cases, Awesome Art Designs

I came across an awesome blog earlier this week and with here consent, I thought I would share some of her tutorials for being creative. The blog is Alma Stoller and if you are the artsy crafty type like I am, you'll love tooling around her very pretty and inspirational site!

I love creating things from recycled items that I have on hand. Here is Alma's tutorial for creating canvas out of cardboard from cereal boxes.


I love that many of Alma's tutorials show you how to make some great artwork out of recycled materials. This next tutorial from her is about using magazine pages to paint on. You can cut your created art piece into smaller pieces and then use them to make larger mixed media artwork. I think creating artwork this way would be great to just frame as is. Take a peek at her video and be inspired!


Here is a link to an article I wrote on Squidoo with some great ideas of crafts and gifts that kids can create. 


Handmade Gifts Kids Can Create

Now for today's featured artsy creations from Zazzle! iPad Minis are all the rage and lots of you may have even gotten one for Christmas. Check out these iPad Mini cases to help protect yours.

Ornaments, Christmas Gifts, Recycled Crafts, Bottle Cap Pendants

Today's feature is about Ornaments. Zazzle has several types and styles of ornaments that you can give as gifts, decorate with, or hang in your space all year long.

 I am sharing a few holiday inspired ornaments to consider when making your Christmas list and decorating for the holidays. Then, have a look at the fun craft tutorial that immediately follows!






















If you are crafty, love recycling, and like making your own Christmas decorations, I found a fun little video tutorial for making different pendants out of bottle caps. I think you can easily make some pretty Christmas Tree ornaments, ornaments to hang near your work space, or gifts to give for the holidays! This would definitely be fun to create with the kiddies while they are on winter break from school and are in desperate need of entertainment.  :)


We love hearing from you so let us know what you think of these cool ornaments and if you think you will be making something from this tutorial.

Happy Holidays!
