Birthday Party Fever
The count down is on until my big boys 5th birthday party. Here is a sneak peak of some of the things I have been putting together …
Fabric Paint
A few months back (actually almost a year ago) I purchased some freezer paper and fabric paint from Spotlight. I had this vision of making t-shirts with horse images on them for my little princess. Well, I finally put my […]

Paper Mache Unicorn
What do you give the girl that has every form of horse, pony, donkey, zebra and unicorn … A paper mache unicorn head. I wanted to give my girl something very different for her third birthday. I decided that we […]
