It's easy to do on yourself, doesn't take much skill... and it's totally ATTENTION getting!  Easy. All you need is: A brush/comb Hair elastic Bobby pins...about 6 to 8 and Hair spray  And some hair!

Color Coded Sodoku Game!

 Color Coded Sodoku Game! Have you guys ever played Sodoku? I hate it...I mean look at this confusion!  Okay, so basically the numbers 1-9 are used... but only one time each in an entire row (vertical & horizontal) and only once in each box of 9. Confusing! Well, my adorable parents came up with a fabulous solution! Color coded.  Genius! This makes it a fun game for the entire family to play together. Doesn't matter what side of the board you are sitting on! First off you need a blank grid. Right click to save off and print!  (I laminated mine) Now you need glass gem pebbles. We got combo bags at Michael's and Hobby Lobby. 9 different colors. Then each color is representing a value...doesn't really matter which is which. But we go in rainbow order: Red=1, orange=2, yellow=3, green=4, blue=5, purple=6, brown=7, white=8 and gray=9 Then you'll need to set up the board...get an easy book at the dollar store and go off of that...or just get

Quilled Paper Cards!

Quilled Paper Cards! Quilling is not for the faint of heart! It takes forever!  But it is so cute! Check out this rolled paper frame we did a few months back. I used Astrobrights paper and layered black, white and blue. Added some torn green at the bottom...like grass And then cut strips of 1/8" paper. We used a quilling tool. ( Wholeport has tools and precut paper as well as kits ready to go) The paper is inserted into the quilling tool slit... And then twisted around tightly. Then the paper can be glued...removed and used! The petals were pinched on one side to make a tear drop shape. Cuttlebug has made some quilling flower kit dies, and my sister got me one for my birthday. (these are way faster than just quilling) You cut the paper with the die and roll it up! Then glue it... And gently press the petals down! Fast and pretty! My daughter did the little snail...it was tedious for her. And then just glued them onto the c
