Looking for kids craft project inspiration?

Have you tried looking at your local library in their arts and crafts section? Or, how about a used book store? OR.......

Have you looked at your parents house? In their old books?

I love books! I seriously get a little high from going to the library and coming home with all of the treasure you could possibly imagine within the pages of those books!!!! LOVE IT!!!!

Luckily my kids feel the same way.............Look at what one of my little guys found at Grandma and Grandpa's house. I think it belonged to my oldest brother --- his name's in it anyway.

Check out the price!!!! Wish we had 60's prices now, wouldn't that be nice?

AND!!! check out the helpful crafting hints. I had to learn the hard way about paper mache.

So my little guy (he's not that little) was inspired by this

And G&G-S were up to the challenge so they helped him make a viking shield!!!

Awesome isn't it!!!? Thanks Mom and Dad for helping my guy he loves it.

There never really was any question where I got my love to create and now they're helping to pass it on to my kids.

OH-LIFE IS GOOD!!!!

Now---go find yourself a vintage crafting book and see what you can come up with!

Things We Never Thought We'd Say But We Have. (We meaning mostly me and my dear husband.)

If you smile a lot now, when you're old you'll look like you're smiling all the time. Even if you're not. It's really much better to have people think you're always happy than to say, "She's not mean that's just her face."
Pickles are nature's way of saying, "Enjoy a cucumber this winter."
The science fair is not called "The Evil Science Fair" for a reason. We really should avoid blowing things up. That means no dry-ice bombs even if you claim to be doing research on greenhouse gases.
Mold doesn't grow that fast! If it did we'd all be covered in it and/or be dead. (Said in response to a daughter thinking mold had grown on her ice-cream in less than five minutes and she was going to get sick and die from it.)
Lift your arms so I can hit you. (A sister said to a brother)
Don't eat the cat food.
Don't eat dog food!
Fair is fair. If you get to shoot an apple off your brother's head, he get's to shoot an apple off your head.
Take the fork out of your nose!
Bubba-nick? Do you mean Bubonic? As in Bubonic Plague?
No you won't get bubba-nick, I mean the bubonic plague.
You should name your first child Bubba-nick!
You can not get botulism from drinking out of your cup that has been setting on the counter for 2 minutes.
You don't have throat cancer.
You don't have leprosy.
It's rough when my fans don't adore me.
It's all fun and games until someone gets hypothermia.
Mountain men don't wear short shorts.
Do you REALLY HAVE to talk like Tarzan at the table?
DROP the monkey!
There IS a striking similarity between the "Cowboy" dance and the "Potty" dance. It's easy to get them confused.
How do you spell "Mohican"?
Buffalo gives me gas.
Don't gargle your jello!
We do not throw snowballs at other people's Christmas decorations.
Get off your little sister, she is not a horse!
Take your underwear out of your mouth!
No singing with your mouth full.
Just don't lick the couch. Okay?!
Don't stick your nose in your sister's mouth.
That's what happens when you stick your nose in your sister's mouth.
Don't throw that salamander!
Stop hitting your sister with a lobster!
Take the plumb pit out of your nose!
