Whatcha Working on Wednesday - Valentines Day Cards

Okay, okay, I know it's Thursday. We did get my boys Valentines Day cards finished tonight. I hope their friends like them.

Instead of having a 3.5 year old and an 18 month old colour each individual picture I created sheets which they coloured and added sparkles to. Then I cut them to fit the cards. Easy peasy. Happy Valentines Day!

Last week Lave-me! Soap Co http://lavemesoapco.blogspot.com/ said she was getting ready for a craft show. How'd that go?

So whatcha working on?

Whatcha Working on Wednesday

This week I'm going to push Whatcha Working on Wednesday back a day.

So I really should have finished my kids Valentines Day cards today but it just didn't happen. We had such a dark dreary day it was difficult to get crafty. Tomorrow I promise.

Are you working on anything for Valentines Day?

Good news the CPSIA has proposed a Mandatory Testing & Certification Proposed 1 Year Suspension. They realize they need to review things before it becomes law. Check out the article here...

Fabulous find friday - goosegrease

I almost forgot to post tonight. Silly me. This seller is worth the wait. Goosegrease http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5881530 specializes in natural wooden dolls. I picked up a do it yourself kit for the preschoolers in my life. She also makes custom cake toppers, families and other finished dolls. You've got to check her shop out.

Whatcha Working on Wednesday - freezer play dough

It's time for another Whatcha Working on Wednesday. This week I promised my 3.5 year old we'd make play dough, and being your typical 3.5 year old he held me to it. I decided to see what happened if I froze it (the pink bag in my freezer). Have you ever tried that? Much to my surprise it doesn't freeze solid, even straight out of the freezer it is very pliable. It would be great fun on a hot summer day. Unfortunatly we are having -23 degree Celcius (or -9 Fahrenheit) weather here tonight which makes the heat of summer seem a million years away.

So whatcha working on?
