Bath Fizzies

Last week I got together with Kelli and Ashley to make homemade body scrubs and bath fizzies. They were both pretty easy to make. We used the Martha Stewart recipes.

Instead of using silicone ice trays (Martha recommended) we used Valentines cupcake liners.

Journals

Ashley and Sydney came over to make some journals and notebooks for their moms for Christmas. Here they are.

Halloween

Last weekend Kelli and I got the urge to do some sewing so we decided to sew a costume for Sydney. Sydney had wanted to be a zombie cheerleader or something to that effect. That would not do. It didn't take much convincing for Syd to agree on a cool flapper costume.


All three of us took turns sewing.


Here is Sydney trying on the dress

I Heart Mod Podge

I have been a Mod Podging fool lately! It seems like all of my crafting involves Mod Podge. For those of you that don't know, Mod Podge (from here on MP) is the water base sealer, glue and finish (for all surfaces) from heaven. MP is way easy to use.


All you need is MP and a sponge brush. I use MP as a glue and a sealer for most of my projects. Simply apply a moderate amount of MP to the base surface, then position paper, fabric, etc. Make sure to smooth out the bubbles. It usually dries with in about 5 minutes.
Once the glue is dry I finish the project off by sealing it in MP. Apply a thin coat of MP, let it dry for about 15 minutes. Apply a second coat in the opposite direction.

Here are a few recent projects.
