DIY Dressed-Up Flip Flops

Do You Like to Color?

Posted in Art, books, Craft Ideas, Design by

I like to color. It takes me back to childhood where I didn’t have to worry about life and that is a wonderful thing… even if it is only for twenty minutes. So I found these free online coloring pages and wanted to share them with you. If you still like to color and don’t want to be coloring princesses and elephants (no offense Erin) then, these will be fun!  Go to http://www.art-is-fun.com/free-mandala-designs-to-print.html for the free printables!

I have run out of options for Father’s Day.

So, my dad loves almonds, peanuts, cashews, etc. so I thought this would be perfect for him. It took less than an hour (excluding drying time for the Mod Podge). Read the whole post
