Miniature 'Post-it' notes printies

One more thing that I wanted to share with everyone is a miniature post-it note printie. I have made several different colors of post-it notes but thought I would share the pink color one. If you would like the other colors then let me know. I would gladly share. I have made this down to the correct miniature size 1:12 scale. Again, if you use anything from my site, all that I ask is that you credit it back to me and let me know and please use for personal use only!  I would also love to see pictures of the things you used of mine. If you continue to use my things and find yourself coming back to my blog, I would really love it if you would follow me (either by email, gmail, or any other way.) It is nice to know that someone enjoys what I enjoy. :)  If you need to re-size it to 12th scale dollhouse miniature size it is 0.28"x0.28". That is the correct size you need for that scale of dollhouse miniatures. I hope you enjoy it and always remember! Keep makin...

Venus Fly Trap papercraft

Hello all, It has been a little bit since I posted but I have finally finished with school for the summer and have some time on my hands to hopefully get some tutorials out and share them with you. I do want to share with you my son's venus fly trap origami paper craft that I did. I know the word "origami" may scare some of you! Trust me, it scared me because I have never done origami before. However, my son loves venus fly traps and we love to do paper crafts and so we were desperate because the internet doesn't have much as far as venus fly trap goes. I saw instructions on how to make this origami flytrap on youtube and the guy that shows you how to make this is absolutely incredible! I do want to recommend to everyone out there that it is a MUST that you buy real origami paper and it be 10x10 or bigger. I tried to use regular paper and card stock but neither of them work. Spending a little money on origami paper is so much better and doesn't waste your t...

Homemade-DIY Halloween costume for my boys

Well, for Halloween, My younger son, Spencer, wanted to be popeye the sailor man and so we decided to make his costume and my older son, Preston, wanted this Barbarian, from Castle Crasher video game, as a costume. He wanted to be him and stores do not sell these costumes anywhere and I knew I had to make my own and I had a big challenge ahead of me. So, I got my crazy brain working and made these costumes with the help from my husband. Let me tell you that fabric glue is my best friend! I'm not great at sewing and I would love to learn to do better but in the mean time, glue is my right hand man.......well except my husband! :) Enjoy, if you would like a mini tutorial on how to make any of these costumes, please let me know. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did making them! :) DIY-Popeye's costume This is the closest picture I could find to show you one of the many outfits Popeye wears that is close to the one we made. Popeye does wear one similar to the one ...

Castle Crashers clay figure-handmade for my son

I wanted to share with you a couple of things I made for my son, Preston, who loves the video game "Castle Crashers". One of the characters in this game is his favorite and his name, I think, is Barbarian. So I wanted to share with you the clay character that I made him (it isn't the best looking one) but I think if I took my time I could make it even better. However, he loves this little figure and that is what really matters! Here is the clay figure: If you would like a tutorial on this, please message me and I would be glad to post it. Cassie

DIY-Play Laptop for Children-(Dip Into Your Imagination and Pretend) :)

Ok, I haven't posted in a while and so I am posting several different things tonight. This post is something that I wanted to share with everyone that has children and they like to pretend.  My 6 year old loves to pretend and he loves to draw. The boys love paper crafts. They especially love it when I print certain characters or whatever I can find and make it into 3D characters. He now has this thing where he makes us our own cardboard crafts and we have to cut them out and glue them together. He also draws various things on paper and had made his own play laptop out of paper and tapes his blank piece of paper on the play laptop screen and draws his art at the moment and then brings it to us and says he made this on the computer and printed it out for us. It is just the cutest thing in the world. So it got my crazy brain thinking.... (dangerous....I know!) about making him a semi-realistic laptop from printing it off the computer. I found various pictures off of the interne...

New Fairy I'm working on

Hello, I thought I would share with you a new little fae creature that I am working on. I mixed up some regular flesh doll clay with some caramel mixed in and she is turning out to be a little dark but I think she is cute and has some potential. I'm trying to figure out what kind of outfit I am going to put on her and if you have any suggestions, I would be happy to hear them.                                       If you have any ideas, please let me know. :) Cassie Wilbanks
