GLITTER ART!

I stumbled across one of my old craft projects and fell in love with it all over again!

I call it "Portrait Glitterature"

How to:
Simply print out one of your favorite photos, grab some fabulous colors of glitter & various glues, toothpicks.

Depending on what area you are covering determines what glue.  For little areas I used good ole' Elmer's glue and just kinda drawed it, bigger areas a glue stick.  You can even use a toothpick dipped in glue to "draw" your glitter details. Then sprinkled the glitter over the glued area.  Allow to dry before starting a new glitter color.  

Don't worry, it doesn't have to be perfect! This project is a little messy but glitter is soo worth it :)

You can really get as detailed as you want, for my picture I wanted Nyla's eye lashes & ice cream to pop, so I concentrated on them.  
I remember this day, she was sooo excited to get ice cream with sprinkles!  (isn't that the coolest, being so little that sprinkles make you super happy!)

MOTHER'S DAY CRAFT...EASY!

Hi Everyone!  Here is a super easy and fun craft to make, a bookmark.  My Mom and Mother-n-law love to read, so when Nyla and I found this idea from Family Fun Magazine in the My Great Idea section we jumped at it!  Thanks to Heather Humrichouse from Meridian, ID for sharing her idea! She also made them into magnets and what mom doesn't need refrigerator magnets?

Just 5 easy steps to some super cool book climbing bookmarks!

The hardest part was trying to get the contact paper unstuck :)  I also turned myself into a slightly curvier bookmark climber, I just love step 4!

Of course, I made one for me, they just crack me up and nothings better than saving my place in a dreamy book like Dallas Clayton's, An Awesome Book and it is SO awesome by the way!

I'm all about dream pursuing and Dallas Clayton is leading the way and showing our kids how to do it!  Since I am pursuing my dream to be a  children's book author,  I find Dallas amazingly motivating and made me realize, you don't have to do things "by the book", by dreaming your way its the best way!  Thanks Dallas Clayton!!

Have a blast today and dream on! xxxxoooo Michelle
