Crafty I am

Once in a while I get an idea and it brings out my crafty side.
So I was thinking that maybe I'll post a few of my older projects... Who knows maybe they will give you inspiration.  (Do me a favor and let me know if my craftiness is inspiring in any way.) 



1. Lion Cake!
I was on a short notice and budget, so this cake isn't my fanciest.
My son loved it, and that was the goal.

I used a pumpkin cake tin and turned it upside down to make a lions face.  I used fondant (homemade by my sister) to do the zebra and giraffe stripes on the cupcakes.

2. Another Birthday cake! 
This time it was all about construction... Very easy to do, almost too easy.
The backhoe is digging away at the cake and I poured sprinkles and rock-candies on top.

3. Another DIY play kitchen.
I obviously didn't come up with this on my own, but I confess with a little creativity it is pretty easy.
 I did it all under $50.00!    How? Sales/Discounts/Consignments

4. A Potty Chart!
 When I potty trained my oldest, he was into cars.
So I had him put a sticker on the road each time he used the potty. It worked very well!

 

5. I grew a garden....
My sister and I decided to co-garden, using makeshift containers and old tires.
