Featured on Crafty Crow - Thanks

I was thrilled to have a spot on the Crafty Crow - Thanks!

(I'm at the bottom of the page as of right now)

She is such a great resource for crafts - check it out.

I am currently running around the house packing for a quick trip down south for the Easter weekend.  It's amazing all the things I want to take (crafting wise) to "play" with my sisters.  We also have a lot of show and tell to do as well.  I haven't seen them since the new year started.

Here I am doing a gift for my sisters while I sit in the tire store getting my snow tires off.  

It was snowing while they were doing it - how ironic!

The boys are thrilled for the annual Easter egg hunt as well.

Remember a while back I told you Snow Patrol was my favorite band.

Well my sisters and I are going to see then in June!!  I can't wait.  His passion, in his lyrics, just make me swoon!  They are playing with Coldplay - can't get much better than that.

Watercolor ink paintings

We did this craft with my two boys and their two friends this past Monday.  I really wouldn't call it a craft either - its beautiful art work!  I think I am going to frame three of them and put them on the walls.  I just love them and they had so much fun doing it.  You just watercolor on wet paper a background color and then when that is dry you give them a dab of india ink at the bottom and a straw.  Sometimes you need to add a bit more ink further up.  

Wow what great colors they did.  Love it.  I found the idea on this web site if you need a bit more help.  I wasn't as formal with the tape as she was.  I found her site through the crafty crow blog which I can't recommend highly enough.  SO many ideas.

I might try these smaller, on cards. Change the background colors to blues and you could have a really cool winer scene for christmas cards.
