How to Make a LEGO Minifigure Display Shelf Our house is drowning in LEGO Minifigures.

Fuse beads, Perler beads, fun-beads-to-stick-in-your-nose: Regardless of what you call these beads, I am THRILLED to have bought BUCKET LOADS of the little plastic cylinder-shaped beads. I spent countless hours in the 80s making coasters for my parents, grandparents and other unsuspecting View Post

Disney Cruise Packing List, from an "Expert": Four boys, two adults, five nights on a Disney cruise! Need I tell you that I was stressing out (in a big way) over the prospect of packing for our recent trip?

Father's Day, birthdays and Christmas are all great causes of gift-giving stress. I never quite know what to get my husband who either has everything, or if he needs something, he buys it himself. Then one fine day, several years ago (four years actually) I decided to put the kids to good use. I had View Post

The image of a Danish Christmas heart takes me right back to my childhood filled with Danish elves and gnomes and Christmas trees with real burning candles dangling precariously on the branches.

Nothing says “personalized gift” as a handprint or footprint from a child. (I guess it is still a personalized gift if it is an adult’s hand or foot print, although the cuteness factor isn’t quite there.) I LOVE how our thumb print polymer clay Christmas ornaments turned out. I know I will love View Post
This Christmas season so far, has been my favorite of all time. I am now a stay-at-home-mom, which means… I AM HOME to craft, create, and do fun projects with the kids - and isn’t that what the holidays are about?! Togetherness and “HYGGE”! I have always loved using polymer clay as a medium. It View Post
I have become addicted to making wreaths for every season, and with good reason: it is fun, inexpensive and it makes such a statement piece! Last weekend we dug out all of our Christmas decorations. There were of course several Christmas wreaths that I had made years ago, but I still felt that we View Post
It is said that “if you build it, they will come!” As a little girl, living in Denmark, I took those words to heart, year after year… after year.
