It is #ThrowbackThursday again! Do you remember making potholders with the fabric loops on a frame like this? I remember having the frame forever as a kid and I bought the bags of more loops at the “Dime Store” (aka Woolworths). This was a craft project that I only did at Grandma’s house I think. [...]

Halloween Craft Ideas for Kids

Thumbnail image for Halloween Craft Ideas for Kids October 11, 2012 Living

I have seen an abundance of spooky decorations and ghoulish recipes this year for Halloween, but oddly enough not as many craft ideas for kids so far. I went to search some out to share. Most kids really love doing crafts – for them the process is really much more important than the final result. [...]
