Emphasis on the FUN
Last Updated 9/22/21
Welcome
Craft Ideas, Tips and Tutorials for Parties, Home Decor, Gifts OR just for the FUN of making them. Crafts for both Kids and Adults. Party Decorations, Games and Prize Ideas. Treats BOTH Real and Fake, No Sew Gnomes, SVG Files and Clipart. Holidays, Special Occasions and Themed Crafts and Party Ideas.
Crafting should be FUN and IS a Party
( Even if you're by yourself )
We have a Blog !!! A place where we can expand on how we make things. A place where we can show the you what worked right away and how we adjusted what didn't. Yea sometimes the adjustment was the trash can. but we had fun trying. Hopefully the Blog will also let you get to know us better. A place where we can share our stories. Both the good and the somewhat embarrassing For example. You see and are told how to make the various items we are creating for the New Fake Bakes. But I kind of left out the part where I spackled the cat in the process.
The Blog is a place where we can still share our Craft Ideas but we can also share all the fun we had making them.

What's New ?
Themed Pages
Bookmark us and come back often.
If you are revisiting make sure to refresh your page to see any changes we've made.
Looking for something specific use the Search Bar at the top of the page. All pages have update dates on them so if your looking to see the latest updates type in the date (month/year)
This site is constantly changing and growing, which is great, but it makes finding the new things a little difficult. Here is where you will find What's New
This section generally gets updated about once a week.
If you'd like to see the daily updates, see what we are working on or just get to know us FOLLOW US on Facebook.
I'm still working on organizing and laying a solid foundation for some of our pages. One of the changes is The Pumpkin Page has had a face lift and more things added. The Pumpkin Page is a "Spin-Off" of the Halloween Page and now a "Spin-Off" of the Fall Into Thanksgiving Page. It kind of made sense to put all things pumpkin on one page. We've added more including NEW SVGs
Pumpkin Crafts, Ideas for carving and painting pumpkins, Clipart and SVGs and MORE
Up until now we've kind of ignored our Facebook Page and that was a mistake. This is a place where you can give your feedback AND see what is new or maybe something not so new that you didn't notice. We are posting at LEAST 4 times a day. FOLLOW US
These cute Pumpkin Boxes are great party favors, Halloween decorations or for your special little Tricksters.

Looks Good Enough To Eat, Right ?
WRONG
What are Fake Bakes ?
Fake Bakes are Craft Items that look like food, that will last permanently AND No Calories.
What's the Point ? These are decorative. Wouldn't that pie be cute on a Coffee Bar ? It's FELT !! The "Filling" is Potpourri so it smells good. Or the milk shake on a shelf in the kitchen or use it for a party decoration that won't melt all over. (It's made with Wall Spackle) There are lots of Halloween and Christmas items in the works to add to your seasonal decor. Christmas Gingerbread themed items are so popular and expensive. They can be made easily and a whole lot less expensive. Cakes, Ice Cream Treats, Candies, Cookies. Wouldn't a cute display of Christmas Cookies be cute on your table for more then the 5 minutes they last til the kids get a hold of them ? (Yea the real ones are in the cupboard waiting for when YOU decide they should be eaten :) )
Fake Bakes Page should be up and running in the next couple of weeks, complete with instructions !! Like the Gnomes I am just learning this and will take you on a step by step journey with me. I can't believe I've spent 20 yrs trying to make cake look like real things and now I am learning to make real things look like cake ???? But it's totally addicting, stop back by and check it out !!!
