Sharing the last featured project "Artsy-Crafty Afternoon" - one winner of my ArTsY - CrAfTy GIVEAWAY

What a sweet project by Simple Sayings to do with your family so they can each express themselves in a "mini me" form with unlimited materials and ideas!

Artsty-Crafty Afternoon

Here are her kids at work, adding their own personality to the paper figures... Initially this was a kindergarten project that turned out to be a family event - what a great idea and super fun for everyone...I want to make some too with my kids! Maybe I can get my husband to make his own also?

My favorite words I read from Simple Sayings' post were... "I was proud of their creativity and remembered how much I love doing things with my kids."

Go check out the complete "mini me" family people on her blog here.

Thank you so much for sharing Simple Sayings!

Featured Giveaway Winner Project! -Artsy Crafty Afternoon

I love this messy art project with washable paints shared by Honey Mommy...

Artsy Crafty Afternoon Project

... Posted on my CrAfTy-ArTsY Challenge, this looks like a very kid and adult friendly paint project, and the best part is you can wash it off and put it back in the closet for another day!

Honey Mommy says, "We tried to mix paint with water and put it in some squirt guns, like I saw in Family Fun magazine, but it wasn't as colorful as we wanted it to be. So then we got out some pie tins and got our hands dirty."

Go here for her original post.

Thanks for sharing Honey Mommy!

Giveaway Winner Project! -Upcycling Book Crafts from an un-crafty me

Upcycling Book Crafts from an un-crafty me

...Took on my little challenge to create and post a project for my cRaFty -ArTsy Giveaway last week, and won.

I am in love with the bold vintage colors (especially reds, yellows, blues, and greens) that they printed back in the 1950's and earlier!

Christy shared- "I've taken apart the book and cleaned it up a bit, inserted scrapbook pages to hold photos of my sister at fairs with her lambs and created some neato envelopes to glue inside.  Now I just need to get ahold of some recycled blank paper to put in-between the original story pages.  I'll have it bound and my sister will have one of the only crafty things I've ever made as a keepsake."

Thanks Christy, I love love them!
