Stopping by!

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to stop by and tell you that the blog has already 2012 page views! So, I wanted to thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you find it useful. I'll be happy if at least one thing of this blog helps you or inspires you.

I created this blog for you and to document what I do with my children. But since I could have a private blog if I wanted to, you are the main reason why I do it. I read so many great and inspiring blogs that I felt that I was taking and not giving so by having this blog I can also give and share too.

Hugs to you!

Monica

DIY Halloween Meaningful Tombs and Ghosts

Why to spend many dollars at the near Halloween store when you can make your own tombs for a dollar or 2! I got foam board from the Dollar Tree store and I used chalk and 2 paint sticks. I will make more with acrylic paint that also sell in the Dollar Tree store.  So I just spent 2 dollars! One for the board that cut in half to make 2 tombs and the acrylic paint! I already had the paint sticks.

 This tomb belongs to my so so loved grandma that past away last year! I love you Clara Golobochansky!!!! We used to call her Jamela.



We are going to make Ghosts out of white poster board and I will post them soon! So check back tomorrow or so!

Window Decorations for Halloween

This marker work well. They seems when you start drawing with 
them to be clear or see through but when it dries becomes solid color.
