Connect the Dots

This calendar would be a wonderful gift for kids and adults. You can choose to create the calendar image for each month or do them all at once. Of course we're a couple of months late but is this one of those instances where its better late than never?

Pieces of the Puzzle

I love this Your Puzzle invitation or greeting card. What a wonderful way to tell someone happy birthday, get well, or thinking of you. Why not use it as an invitation for a little one's birthday party. From there you can build a great party theme including cookies like these.

Beautiful

I really love these paper wreaths by Haru. The combination of paper styles and colors makes a statement. {discovered here and here}

Try Something New

Here's a few things I found at the Curiosity Shoppe that I fell in love with. If you want to pick up a new hobby or just learn something new, all of these could get you started.


Paint By Number Kit: I use to love these as a kid and this would be a fun way to create some of your own works of art.



Interested in making your own cards and not really sure where to start? This card making kit is great. filled with paper, envelope templates and more, it will inspire hours of creativity. {This would be perfect activity to do at a birthday party little girls}



Speaking of Paper... This Paper Craft Kit, has a variety of fun little projects that would be perfect to do and maybe use some of these designs at weddings for favors or decoration or parties too.



While I love to crochet, I don't always have the time to sit down and do it but if your looking for something different to do try this Cozy Crochet Kit.



If you're not interested in crochet, try this kit for knitting.




OK, this is plenty for those of you ready to start a new hobby or just try something new. If your favorite thing to do is sewing, this and this would be perfect. I envy you because my sewing skills not so great.

Paper Flowers

Over the summer, while my niece was visiting I bought this little kit to make paper flowers. I thought it would be a cool activitiy and fun entertainment for all. Well, my niece was interested long enough to do the flowers but after that, I was creating them alone. Well, since getting this little kit at target I have seen more and more people using paper flowers and have noticed that a lot of events, weddings etc use them in place of actual flowers. Well, to add to this stylish yet crafty idea, I noticed this crepe paper rose bouquet kit at martha stewart crafts and couldn't help but share, it's perfect for valentines day, great for wedding showers, baby showers, rehearsals, or the wedding itself, and these look so close to the real thing.

I...

have my eye on these kraft ornaments from Paper-Source.



You're probably not like me when it comes to receiving a new paper source catalog in the mail {yes some of the things are in previous catalogs} but I still get excited. These ornaments are a perfect DIY project for your tree. If you want to include little ones or the whole family you can be as creative as you like. don't forget the glitter!

Visit Paper Source in addition to these stars, there's some great wrapping paper too!

Holiday Crafts

Every time I walk into the Michaels I get caught up on the Martha Stewart aisle. My eyes get all wide and my ability to make rational decisions seems to disappear {I have this same problem with handbags and cake too}. I have my eye on a few things to do for holiday decor in my house and have been thinking about having a tree decorated totally with paper. I know you're thinking "fire starter" but, I think it could work. If I was going with a paper themed tree, I'd make these paper ornaments


mixed with a few glittered snowflakes.


I'd hang this poinsettia wreath (inside of course)


and maybe create the frosty village. Ok, the frosty village may be too many crafts.


If you're looking for something to do over the holidays, a lovely family oriented craft or if you want to do something different with your tree, hope these ideas inspire you.
