Kids JUNK WARS

On of the new TV show favorite over the summer in our house was CRAFT WARS! on TLC. I don't know if the show is coming back (PLEASE PLEASE TLC!!!!) But "hosting" mini craft wars on a rainy /snowy/or "WHAT CAN WE DO DAY??!!" is become a event at our house.

I gathered all my crafting "junk"-leftovers from craft projects - and I challenged my daughter and niece to a craft war. They had to design a keep sake box for them selves. Now here's a lil pictorial on how it went.

 First I dumped THE JUNK-

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO....

Barbie Mega Bloks

What little girl doesn't LOVE Barbie and being treated to the great life she has---and thanks to Mega Bloks Barbie set little girls can enjoy the Barbie Glam life!

Before the party my kids and I constructed the charming

Mega Bloks Barbie Build 'n Style Luxury Mansion

and Mega Bloks Barbie Build 'n Style Pool and the IceCream and Fashion Stand Party kits- These blocks are smaller then most Mega Bloks so it was a little time consuming but was well worth it! The instruction booklet was very EZ to follow.

The verity of rooms, and how you can set it up yourself kept the girls very interested in the house. Many of the girls though it would be great to have there own elevator in their homes! The dolls had a nice stand to help keep them in place in the house, at the  pool, or on any of the other adorable sets.

MORE PARTY FUN

We enjoyed a nail and hair "mini makeover"!

Also a crafty  station and we'd had to do a little baking  mini cupcakes , chocolate covered pretzels, or making strawberry ice cream floats  to show all our  LOVE for Barbie and the Mega Bloks.
The take home sets were a HUGE hit!! I had parents texting me later that week saying their daughters were playing with their sets EVERYDAY!

Frugal Art for the home

We bought  a new sofa a little while back .Very MUCH need, the style is a bit more modern then our other hand me down, so I wasn't very happy with the art pieces on the wall... and art is not cheep.....THEN it hit me --I've got two of the best modern artist living right in my home-MY KIDS

My plan for the new gallery wall is to hit the thrift shops in the nest few weeks find as many photo frames I can, give them a JET black covering and frame some of my childrens materpieces. I'm also going to dig up some of my old art pieces from my parents celler---thank goodness they never throw things away =D

Well we decided to have  simple black and white frames. That would be simple to change out art pieces as we wished.



This was the wall for a few months...then we had a change out:





the new look =^D
The center piece was made up of photo card I bought at Hobby Lobby for less then $2 a piece they are modpodged to a canvas I bought at Michels for $1 the canvas had a hole in it and was discounted---the letters covered the hole very nicely. Brand new center art piece for under $10! New side pitures are colored by my kids -FREE =)



Wordless Wednesday 2/6

Nothing  is better then some family games night fun!!!

Our Family is lovin Crunchy Nut Cereal

Kellogg’s knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day so  Crunchy Nut is here to rescue your morning meal by combining either golden corn flakes or oat O’s with honey and peanuts. It turns mornings into something to look forward to. Kellogg’s Crunchy Nut is available in Golden Honey Nut flakes and Roasted Nut & Honey O. Our family is loving them for more then just breakfast time.

My daughter likes taking a baggie full to snack on during the day at school

caught me enjoying a bowl 

Crunch Nut does have a lot of things going for it. It contains no high fructose corn syrup and the carbs count is reasonable. It is also nice and crunchy due to the addition of nuts. One thing I cannot stand is soggy cereal, and this crunch holds up well in milk.

makes for a great before bed snack too

Montagne Jeunesse Face Masques PRODUCT REVIEW

I'm not the most found of face mask--had a bad experience  with another gel kind practicaly had to steel wool that thing off my face!  But I was thrilled to try Montagne Jeunesse Face Masques line 
 and even more excited they carry some for men now!. There's one to suit everyone and every mood! These packs cost around  $2! There is a great sale at  neotericcosmetics right now where you can buy one get one 1/2 off! ENDS 2/14. I know, it’s just too great to believe and they have so many to choose from so you are not stuck with a huge jar when you want  another variety. Easy to put on and easy to take off. These masks are great!

They are very effective: My skin felt clean and smooth. There was visible dry skin cells removed from my face. Giving them a 5 out of 5 stars!!!
