Glad to be back!

I have been a way for a few months. Not really doing anything productive. Just not wanting to turn on my computer. lol.... I guess you get burned out after a while and you need a break. Time with family and friends. Time with my little boy who was complaning I was working on my website to much and we needed to play more. He was so right. Love my boy so much!!!!

I work a full time job also. While I work my website www.krafty-kids-r-us.com and now this new blog. The good thing about my website and blog is that my little boy has a part in it. He helps me do the kraft projects and he loves it. I am happy to be back and working online again. Working my way out of my boring factory job.

I will be posting two new projects today. And I am very excited to get started but I have to wait for my son to get off the bus so he can help me. We will be making bubble bath that is all natural with no junck in it. And also pink lemanade cookies. The cookies remind me of spring because they are so pretty. There not from scratch though, I found a mix at walmart and they looked interesting. I will look for a recipe for them and post that as well. Make sure you check back later tonight to see what we made. Have a great day everyone.

New Craft Ideas

We are getting close to that time of year when we have to get creative, and occupy our children indoors. It is almost fall and its our favorite time of year around here. We are growing pumpkins and gourds to decorate with. We have a lot of fun carving the pumpkins or even painting them. We have the most fun going on nature walks and seeing what we can find to take home. We have made a leaf placemat and a few other neat leaf projects. As we get close to the fall season and we know winter is coming. Make sure to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. Because before long we are going to be cooped up again when the snow begins to fall. Make sure to check back often because I will post new craft projects that my son and I will be doing. And if you have any ideas feel free to share. We always like new crafts to make. Take care and see you soon! Also check out my craft website at: www.krafty-kids-r-us.com! You will find great ideas for any occasion or season!
