Well Wishes and Cute Crafts


I will be leaving on vacation for three weeks shortly, and internet access will be very limited where I am going, so I thought I would leave you with some sites I found that had a few fun crafts.
This page teaches you to make real books that are almost as small as a quarter. The examples are adorable, and the sizes of the books are adjustable to your preference. They only take 2 hours to make, and are great gift ideas.
This page will show you how to make a first aid kit out of an ordinary kitchen potholder. A great craft to have with you wherever you go. I saw my friend had one on a 4 day hike we went on last week, and just had to have one. Her potholder first aid kit had kittens on the front and opened up just like a book.
This site features tons and tons of awesome crafts, but the page that will pull up is the site's Fairy Glitter Bath Bomb craft. I've always wanted one of these, and now I'm so excited because I know I can make my own!! They also have different types of bath bombs, if glitter isn't your thing; all you have to do is click "Bath and Body Crafts" on the left hand side of the page.
I just had to add this craft/ recipe in, because I just love rock candy! Every time I see rock candy it reminds me of when I visited Biltmore Estate when I was a child, and had my very first (lavender coloured) piece of that glittering treat. Because I had it at Biltmore Estate, it also makes me think of princesses, princes, balls, long beautiful gowns, and stuff like that. It makes me feel so young and naieve and pretty inside and warms my soul. I recommend making this treat , for I know you will enjoy it throughly.
That's it for the links I'm posting today, but like I said, http://www.craftbits.com/ has hundreds of awesome crafts for you to enjoy. I'll see you in three weeks!
