Whats not more fun than a few noodles and some Elmers glue?? Not much! I found this activity on 5 Orange Potatos by way of The Crafty Crow. If you have never dyed noodles, its very simple. Pour some noodles into a gallon baggie. Add a few drops of food coloring and a little bit …

We all remember the tie dyed stuff we had as a kid. And the first time we were involved in tie dying process. My first time was summer church camp, maybe Jr. High. I can’t say I love the look of tie dye so much that I actually want to wear it, but I do …
I am so very lucky to belong to a wonderful online scrapping board. I owe these ladies big time! If it were not for them, I am not sure how much scrapping I would ever get done! These ladies are the reason I started scraping again after a two year break! They are inspirational and …
