Hello Blog world! So I have had a few busy weeks, with the Women's Retreat, and MR C and KJ in the Community Theater production of Alice in Wonder Land Jr. but with all that I've still been able to craft a little! :) I like crafts! But I really love Quick Crafts! I have found a few that I liked on some other Blogs the first resulted in only one injury, and I did not get any blood on it I promise! It did hurt! I made this really cute:

I am not sure the picture really shows how cute this necklace and bracelet are! I had so much fun I am thinking of making my mom one for mothers day (shhhh!), and maybe another to give away at the next Women's Ministry Dinner & a Movie (June 4th)
Then I found this really cute
http://brownpaper--packages.blogspot.com/2009/12/purse-sized-photo-brag-book.html this is a gift for my mom for mothers day, and we made them last night in Girls Group. I gotta tell you the middle school girls loved them! And they were so easy to make you just need a few basic supplies, all things you can get at Wal-Mart (See the pictures below)
First go to Wal-Mart and get some Badge/Id holders ($1.88 for a package of 12), then gather your other supplies like ribbon, scissors, scrapbook paper, pictures... I used a business card as a template to cut my scrapbook paper. Decorate to your liking. After you've made as many cards and placed them in the Badge/Id holders stack them together and use ribbon to keep them connected. Like this:
I can't show you the inside, my mom might be reading the blog and I don't want to ruin the surprise!
Ok here are a few photo's of the Musical:
Gosh they make a momma proud!
Have a Beautiful Day!
