Cave Quest VBS – Frugal Craft Ideas

Cave Quest VBS – Frugal Craft Ideas

  In the past few years, Group Publishing has transitioned from crafts over to “science-y gizmos”.  According to a blurb in this year’s curriculum, it was a move to cut down on the little junk that kids took home and eventually trashed.  My issues with this are that (a) their science-y gizmos are just junk that kids take home and trash…. and (b) we like crafts, doggonit!  The suggestions from group are pricey and not impressive {in my opinion}.  I recently shared the things I love & don’t love about Group’s curriculum and…Read more …
Cave Quest VBS Frugal Crafts: Bible Verse Activity Sheets

Cave Quest VBS Frugal Crafts: Bible Verse Activity Sheets

I’m not really sure whether these should be called bible verse activity sheets or coloring sheets or puzzles… they can be anything you want them to be! I designed activity sheets with each night’s bible verse on it. There are 4 options for each night – coloring book font 9 piece puzzle, bold font 9 piece puzzle, coloring book font 20 piece puzzle and bold font 20 piece puzzle.

DIY Wood Projects with the PVPP Method

DIY Wood Projects with the PVPP Method

Earlier this week I posted about all of the Christmas projects I did this year.  Lots of my crafty friends visited that post so I thought I'd share one of my favorite crafting skills, the PVPP method {shoutout to my Cameo fb group ladies!}. The PVPP method is my preferred craft with the Silhouette Cameo.  Applying vinyl is great and all.... I don't have a heat press so I don't do HTV... but PVPP?  Bring it on!  If you're new to the Cameo world, this may all sound like a foreign language to…Read more …

DIY Christmas Project Wrap-Up

Wow, it's been awhile since I posted anything!  I had a nice holiday hiatus {read: a month-long fury of DIY crafting and Christmas creating}!  Now that Christmas is over, I'm excited to share some of my creations with y'all.  Drumroll please.... for my DIY Christmas Project Wrap-Up 2015...
