Recycle old bits of crayon

I used Reynolds fun shapes muffin/cupcake liners in my muffin pan. Then I melted old bits of crayons from my kids pencil boxes at 250 degrees for 15 minutes. I then swirled gently with a toothpick ( it will look pinkish depending on what colors you add) and let cool. After they were cool, I popped them out and they are ready to go! They are awesome especially for preschoolers to work on their grip!

Well, here it is....I used a combination of beehive and regular quilling. This is in honor of my daughter turning 13 today! Happy Birthday!!! Quilled Ballerina Quilled Ballerina

Quilled Pointe Shoe

My daughter took Pointe this year at dance and being the end of the year, I wanted to make a special thank you card for the staff. I drew the outline for the shoe and then filled the spaces with 1/8 width quilling paper.

Another Ornament for Christmas

I found some more ornaments in my closet of craft stuff while cleaning this summer. Obviously my cleaning didn't get very far being so delighted with my new discovery! I found a cute clip art a while back of some holly leaves, so I thought about how I could do it inside the ornament. After a few minutes, I was ready to start. After gluing two leaves together, I gently pushed them inside. I then used a plastic butter knife to keep them lying flat and let them dry. I then added the third leaf.
