The Idea Room: Brown Sugar Foot Scrub Recipe

A good foot rub sounded good about now and then I came upon this tutorial/recipe for a brown sugar foot scrub that is unbelieveably easy! (again, my kind of thing!)  I am going to use my lavender honey and make up a jar of this.  Thanks to The Idea Room for sharing such a great idea.

Nice idea and very simple.  I like the fact that you can change them out by just erasing the tag.  It's chalkboard paint!

the gilbert family: Project Linus

I really love this method of tying a fleece blanket for donating to Children's Hospital.  Project Linus is also a wonderful organization that makes blankets for hospitals.  If you want to donate one or use this method for your own little ones, give it a try.  It's fast and easy (my kind of craft!) and kids love them.  They don't end up with large tight knots.  Check it out at Gilbert Blog

Beginnings!

I guess I'm blogging now. This is all new to me, but I wanted to create a blog so that I can share some of the things I make and some of the things I find on the web. So many times I come across things that I would love to share, but don't have a central place to put them. I hope some of my readers will find them fun and helpful.
