crayon hearts.

by Allison on January 31, 2008 in cleaning and organizing, holiday fun · 2 comments


This is a project I have done with my daughter P every year for Valentine’s since she was about 3. It’s so much fun to watch the wax melt {her absolute favorite part} and it makes me feel better about using up all those odds-and-ends crayons. We save them up all year just for this project. The hearts look so beautiful when they’re done.

And don’t feel restricted to putting them up on windows, I hang mine from the ceiling with string and they look amazing that way. Follow the instructions here, and craft away.

I love the company Knock Knock. Their stationery and gifts are right up my alley. Take this Wheels O’ Wisdom for example; a tool that offers all the features any hypochondriac is aching to hear. It allows you to choose from 40 symptoms giving you one of 5 sympathetic statements such as, “Yes, You’re Probably [...]

Easy Eco-Friendliness

by Alma January 28, 2008cleaning and organizing

I had a moment this past week (and only one moment unfortunately) to curl up with January’s Martha Stewart Living. I loved the recycled t-shirt project they featured, where you can turn old t-shirts into reusable shopping bags. My husband has a whole drawer full of t-shirts he no longer wears, and this project seems [...]
