It was simple and fun - and I hope this will inspire you to make one, too..." Read more

Tutorial - How to Make Times Tables Hanging Pockets

This could be used for absolutely anything!

Times Tables Hanging Pockets Tutorial at Creating my way to Success
"My 2 daughters, and ages 6 and 8 are both learning their times tables. I've been helping them along the way - and learning too about the best ways to teach them. My dad was a maths teacher - and I remember doing lots of work with my times tables at home as a kid! So I have lots of experience to draw upon!
One thing I've found that works really well, and they love doing is playing 'Memory' or 'Pairs' - the card game where you have to match 2 cards and pair them off.
So as we've worked our way through the tables, I've been making them sets of Memory cards.
It then seemed important to make something to keep these sets of game cards in. Something that they could easily find the set they're looking for and so play them by themselves whenever they want!..." Read more

Gotta love crafty hubbies!

New Candles from Old Tutorial at Crafty Staci
"I love candles. Let me rephrase that…I love candles that smell good. People who know me are aware of this, and are happy to encourage my collection whenever a good reason presents itself. I have a cupboard in my house dedicated solely to candles – that’s how bad it is.

One day, I was about to throw away one of those big jar candles that was so empty it wouldn’t burn anymore. My husband snagged it and, adding it to several more he intercepted since, decided to make his own candles from the remaining wax..." Read more

Recipe - How to Make Raspberry Vinaigrette Salad Dressing

Yum!

Raspberry Vinaigrette Salad Dressing Recipe at Life Blessons
"I'm not one of those people who inherently loves salads. I think they're alright, but I'd much prefer the sandwich with mayo or a dish with roasted sweet potatoes on the side. However, I know that a good hearty salad is a great way to get some extra veggies into your diet, so I make sure to serve a couple throughout the week.

One thing I've learned is that if you're going to try to go healthy, you need to make it enjoyable. So it is with me and my salads. Which is why I've been on a quest to find salad dressings that make the plateful of lush greens something to savor..." Read more

Best Ever Carrot Cake Recipe at Show, Tell, Share
"Not that it's getting cool and crisp around these parts yet (I only wish), but we were in the mood for some good Thanksgiving spice. I'm not usually a big fan of carrot cakes. Raisins in baked things disturb me, and most carrot cakes I've had are too ... I don't know, sweet? But my mother-in-law has a recipe for carrot cake that hooks me in every time. She once made one while I was in the hospital delivering a baby. When she thoughtfully brought me a large slice, it was nearly the highlight of my day--second only to meeting my adorable son, of course. I made that one slice of heaven last my entire two-day stay, rationing out the bites as little rewards. Too much information, perhaps, but that's how much I like this cake! It's moist without being gooey, and not super sweet so the cream cheese icing gives a nice contrast..." Read more
