Looking for some fun crafts? I always am...

I was looking for some fun projects for work and since I don't like doing a lot of premade crafts I do use them if they still allow creativity. I like these Green Magic Color Scratch Shamrock Ornaments, I have made paper like this before in black but it is really putsy. Kiddos love these scratching sheets you just need to think about what you are going to do before you start. I haven't ordered from the Oriental Trading Company for a while, I like that they have free shipping on orders over $49 right now, I will be looking for a few projects for the future too!

Check out my LEGO Figure Crayons!

I bought this LEGO figure silicone tray from 13Deals.com but they currently don't have it. They do have it on Amazon though. I am planning on getting another set and probably getting the brick tray as well.

I started by having my little helper (my youngest Nephew) help me peel the crayons and he sorted them by color scheme (my picture was really fuzzy so it is not here). I used a craft cupcake tin to separate the colors. Make sure you put papers in there so you can pick them up and pour the colors into the mold.

I preheated the oven to 250 degrees and when the cupcake papers had about 6 crayon halves we popped them in and let them melt, it takes about 10 minutes, just peek at them to make sure they are melting.

When melted I took the papers one by one and slowly poured some of the melted crayon into the mold. I used two colors for each figure. They will probably look nicer if you have two people pouring so you can try and make a marbled pattern. As you can see above the backs are really colorful but when I took them out of the mold I realized I poured the darker color in first in most cases. Next time I will have Mr. Betsy help or maybe just do solid colored figures OR bright color, a little dark color and bright color again to make a "sandwich".

I love recycled crayons, they are really easy to do and now with the really neat molds i am finding I will be making a lot more!

My nephew was really excited to take these home! :)

Donate Peanut Butter to the Hunger Task Force!

On my way to work I keep noticing the marquee on Walgreens that I can donate Peanut Butter there for The Hunger Task Force, I don't stop there a whole lot and the last few times I have totally forgot to pick some up or bring mine with me soooo...I am taking it to my local Fire Department (click here to see the closest to you)! The Hunger Task Force is looking to collect 100,000 jars and they currently have 99,492! They are almost there! You can help by taking your jars in, I love that it is really easy to donate, Walgreens is collecting as well as a number of fire departments (look at link above).

Why I LOVE Foursquare!

We were spending the weekend with our youngest nephew and thought it would be fun to go to Chuck E. Cheese's. He had a lot of fun. :) I was excited that when I checked in on Foursquare that this special popped up! We were able to get 5 free tokens! As you might know that was 5 games we were able to play for free!!! That means free tickets (if you played a ticket giving game).

This isn't the best deal I have gotten through Foursquare but it was a pretty good one! I have gotten free Chips and Salsa at Chili's, $5 off bills at various restaurants and there are other specials too! If you have been hemming and hawing about maybe getting the app I suggest not waiting any longer, it really is fun and it is FREE! You can follow your friends and see where they check in too!
