So I have found this new website that I am totally addicted to!  It's called pinterest.com and it's a place where people "pin" ideas that they like to their various "boards".  You can make as many boards as you want and label them however you want.  I have a board for Christmas ideas, recipes, home improvement/decorating ideas, gift ideas, etc.  And it is so much fun to see other people's ideas!  Here are a few ideas that I used from pinterest.  Above are peanut butter cookies with dove hearts for Valentine's Day.  Below is a headband holder for Sky that I made from an empty oatmeal container (I put other hair stuff inside the cannister). 

 Below are brownie bites that I made into heart shapes by putting a marble on the edge of the cupcake liner. 

 Pinterest has TONS of fun stuff for kids.  One idea was to make creations from sticking pipe cleaners in different formations into a collander (see above).  Another idea was to use a big magnet with pipe cleaners.  Brad played with these for a long time!  Below Brad and Lila are making their own snow globes by filling empty water bottles with sequins, glitter, beads, etc.  Then we hot glued the caps onto the bottles. 

 This was another idea where you can stick a skewer into play doh and then put Cheerios on the skewers.  We added some popsicle sticks to this project.  Very fun!
