River Rock Painting – Fun Craft Project

In the fall, I stopped with my family on the banks of one of the many rivers that run through the beautiful mountains where I live.  I had an idea to paint some river rocks.  Collecting them was great fun for the whole family. Our little guys had fun throwing and skipping them into the river too! I have had such a good time giving these smooth rocks some personality.  I cannot wait for the weather to warm up so we can collect some more!

I collected a very large bucket full and when I got them home I washed them in a bucket of MelaMagic and Tough and Tender, then rinsed them and put them on brown craft paper to dry thoroughly.

When they were fully dry, I painted  a base color on both sides and when dry I decided on what to transform them into. My first was my little yellow fish, followed by a couple of pink fish.  After painting a few more fish, I tried my hand at a butterfly, some ladybugs, a couple of frogs and owls.

For painting the base painting and larger details I used an acrylic craft paint. I found that the Elmer’s Paint Markers are excellent for painting smaller details. When they are completely dry I sealed them with Mod Podge.

They are all so cute and look great on a desk as a paperweight, in flower pots, on windowsills, in decorative bowls or just about anywhere you want some color and character.  My little guys even started painting some of their own and it was so precious.  If you are looking for a great activity the whole family can get involved in, try painting river rocks.

Let me know if you try this.

Elmer’s Craft It Crafting Kit Review and Giveaway!!!

Craft-it-community-Facebook-image1

I really like to craft, unfortunately I do not have as much time as I would like to do it.  With a slight addiction to Pinterest that I can guess that many of you may have as well, it gives me lots of inspiration.  I was just saying to my daughter the other night, if they  had Pinterest and You Tube tutorial videos years ago I would have tried and attempted so much more.  I think it’s wonderful how these sources have inspired us and given us the confidence we would not have had just reading it in print form.  This year I made a lot of salt dough ornaments.  What I did was make enough so that they kids would have their own advent tree that they would hang the handmade ornaments on each night.  I wrapped them all and then pasted numbers on the packages.  It was really nice that I got to make the ornaments with them.  I also made Christmas tree salt dough ornaments with the fingerprints of all 7 of us.  I then made some adorable and keepsake hand-print salt dough ornaments for the little guys.  Helping me with my crafting this year was Elmer’s.

Elmer’s sent me a spectacular Craft It kit full of $150 of their great products.  I mainly used the Paint Pens to embellish the salt dough ornaments and other crafts like the coasters and the glass Christmas ball ornaments.  The paint pens are super easy to use and come in different point size tips so you can use fine when writing and for detail work and larger sizes for other  paint crafts.  My next project to use them for are river rocks.  I have collected an entire huge bucket of river rocks and plan to apint them and of course I will show you the results.

Paint Chips?

When I see the words paint chips, I think of the scary public service announcements showing a toddler playing in an old house by a peeling windowsill.  Paint Chips though are not scary on Pinterest, in fact they are the stars of some really great craft projects.  Of course I am not talking about peeling paint but of the sample cards you use to select paint.  After seeing some of the great projects, I was intrigued but I did wonder, what stores thought of these now countless women marching in and leaving with stacks of  paint chips and no paint.  Would stores soon be locking up the paint chips behind the counter?  Would paint chips start to be rationed?  If so, I better get some while I can.

So, in the store the other night passing by a very colorful selection of paint chips; I decided to take a few samples.  I had my 3 and 5-year-old with me and my 3-year-old was generously helping but mainly picking out the same color and then handing them to me saying, “Look Mommy, I got these for you.”  It might have been my imagination because the store was relatively empty, but it seemed like a manager was watching me and every announcement I heard was, “Security please go to the paint department, there is a woman taking paint chips.”   I worked through the anxiety and knew that other pinners had to have done the same thing and they not only lived but created something useful and pinned it.  So I took my paint chips and put them in the pocket of my purse and continued shopping.  Now I need to find a project.

“Holiday Crafting & Baking With Kids” by Jessica Strand Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

Chronicle Books

‘Tis the Season for crafting and baking with your kids!!!  I recently received “Holiday Crafting & Baking With Kids to review.  This book by Jessica Strand is full of all kinds of crafts and baking for the holidays.  Children ages four and up will love selecting their own materials and digging into these cheerful projects. There is something here for everyone and every winter occasion—Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, New Year’s, and Boxing Day! Step-by-step instructions, helpful templates, and color photos make it a cinch for little ones to follow along. Best of all, the materials and ingredients for these projects are inexpensive, easy to find, and even easier to turn into amazing gifts, decorations, and treats.

One of the first crafts we decided to try was the shimmering snowflakes.  The directions were straightforward and you could improvise on them creating larger or smaller snowflakes.  I really like that since snowflakes are unique, that this did not have to be a “perfect” craft.  You can definitely let your kids add their own spin on them through colors, size or shape.  This is a very fun craft to do together.  It may be harder for 4 and 5 year-olds to do unassisted since there is a bit of intricate twisting but I think it is great for older kids.  When you are finished you can hang them up around the house and you have a festive start to your holiday decorations.

Daylight Ultimate Table Lamp Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I was sent an Ultimate Table Lamp from Daylight to review.  This great lamp is so useful for crafting.  The large magnifying glass and the chartholder clip both on adjustable arms are handy for painting small things, making jewlery, scrapbooking, bead work, sewing, and so much more. This fantastic lamp comes with a 20w Daylight™ energy saving bulb (100w equiv.), a completely flexible head, and extendable arm to give you a 55cm reach   My older brother would definitely use this lamp for fly tying and my husband thought it was great for cutting the babies’ fingernails so there would be no chance of cutting any delicate fingers.  He also thought it was great for sodering a wire in one of his guitar pedals, so you see the possibilities are endless.  Makes a great lamp to have on your craft table, desk or by your sewing machine.  Excellent for stamp and coin collectors and model building as well.  We all love this lamp and the removable caddy will hold craft or office supplies and the magnifying arm and clip arm are removable as well on this very versatile lamp.

Great for detail painting on crafts.

So do you think this lamp is something you could use.  Then you will be thrilled to know Daylight is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win their very own Ultimate Table Lamp.  Thank you Daylight for the review lamp and for sponsoring this awesome give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US Residents only.

Xyron Create-a-Sticker Max, 1.5″ Create-a-Sticker, and Mega Runner Review & Giveaway!!! {Giveaway Ended}

I was recently sent three great products from Xyron to review.  The first is the Xyron Create-a-Sticker Max.  This large sticker maker does not require electricity, batteries or heat.  Easily create stickers with the Xyron Create-a-Sticker Max.  Safe for kids to use since there is no heat involved and it is so easy and fun. You can make permanent and repositional stickers by using the correct cartridge.  Take a look at what I made:

Xyron Create a Sticker Max

I chose this card stock cut out to make into a sticker.

Place the item in the Xyron Create a Sticker Max.

Start feeding the item through while you turn the dial handle.

As you turn the dial your item will come out the back of the Create a Sticker Max as a sticker.

The trimmer in the back will trim the paper when you pull up and then you are all set.

Now, if you want to make smaller stickers, the 1.5″ Xyron Create a Sticker is what you need.  I was sent this special edition Breast Cancer Research Foundation edition.  It is very easy to operate and also does not require batteries, heat or electricity.  Take a look at how it works:

1.5″ Special Edition Create a Sticker

I chose this cardstock basketball to make into a sticker.

Place the object in the create-a-sticker unit.

Pull and tear.

Rub and then peel the top layer off.

Your sticker is now ready!!!

The third review item is the Xyron Mega Runner.  This nifty gadget will lay down an adhesive as you pull it back and is great for crafts, scrapbooking and many other projects.  It is super easy to use.  I used it to attach some ribbon to a foam sheet.  Take a look:

Xyron Mega Runner

Touch the tip to the surface and pull.

Then I applied the length of ribbon and pressed to secure.

Ribbon is strongly adhered to the foam.

 These three products are so easy to use and will make scrapbooking and crafting a breeze.

So do you like these products?  Then you will be thrilled to know that Xyron is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Rambligns.  Three lucky blog readers will win their very own Xyron Create a Sticker Max.  Thank you Xyron for the review products and for sponsoring this awesome giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!!
