Christmas and were just too busy to make them?  You probably thought,
"Maybe next year."

Guess what?  It's next year!

Santa hat and candy cane topiary.

buttons at the craft store and the shirt makes a great paint smock.

Keep your little ones' hands busy this season

with popsicle sticks, buttons, felt and glue.

One of the best sources for inexpensive craft supplies is your
local Dollar Tree.  Don't overlook notions at
garage and yard sales, either.  Get busy!
