Cool String Art by Lori Wenger is full of some of the neatest string art pieces you will ever see. They are not the spirograph-type designs I remember from my youth, but more random and fun. There is an impressive assortment of designs for different decors and tastes, and I am giving away 1 copy of this excellent book!

Looking for a relaxing and rewarding way to spend some time? I have found one way with Diamond Dotz and here is my Diamond Dotz review to tell you why I think so.

A while back I got an exciting package in the mail: Diamond Dotz!! Diamond Dotz is painting with diamonds – well, actually faceted plastic gems, but they catch the light and sparkle light diamonds. The canvas you work on looks a lot like a cross stitch canvas. There are little symbols all over showing what color dots go where. The parts that get the diamonds are covered with a sticky glue, and the whole canvas has a piece of plastic that covers it to keep it clean before the diamonds are all attached.
National Princess Week

Did you know this week (4/22-4/28) is National Princess Week? Kyla is super excited about it, she’s all about princesses. Lego even sent us this nifty Mulan’s Training Day Build and Swap set to help us celebrate!
The girls and I had a great time going through all our Heat Transfer Vinyl from Happy Crafters to make night shirts with our Cricut. We started off with some large blank tees. We search Cricut Design Space for some images the girls liked. Vada chose a party monkey, and Kyla chose a sleepy pig.

While at Creativations I was given some Sculpey Souffle and a Sculpey Bead Making Kit to give a try. I decided to use it with the girls, and see what they could create.
