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....

A ready and willing carpenter =)

No wood shop here...I wish I could have Michael's stock my craft room as much as they do on the show!!! So for this war it all about the glue gun-SAFETY FIRST!!!!

The girls got right to work
