AHH! Do you guys remember making these DIY paper spinners?

Once I stumbled upon these and the memories came rushing back
You can’t go wrong with this craft, it is just an all-time classic. I love how you can color it how you want with whatever pattern to fit your liking, so each one can be unique

Nothing screams summer vibes quite like a watermelon, and this fan is easy and cute
You could use this to give to your little one as you head to the beach, as part of a summer party theme, or as a craft to make before the kids leave school for the summer to set the mood right
Casey came home with one of these after school one day and that weekend we went to the beach. She carried it around in her watermelon dress and looked as if she was right out of an adorable summer magazine!

Paper Plate Cat Craft

Source: I Heart Crafty Things
Crazy cat lady alert! Me, I’m the crazy cat lady…
I know I have two kids that I love to talk about, but I have two “other” children in my life who mean the world to me. If I could, I would have 27…
Now, I understand this is hoarding and I can’t do this, so I settle for two ?
But having kids has taught me that they love cats EVEN more than I do. One of Casey’s first words was meow. I think she may have said it before “dada” but we don’t tell him that ;).
This DIY paper plate cat is easy to make and if you have a little kitty at home of your own you can customize the color to best fit. Both of my cats are grey, so we went with that. This project is fun, and your kids will love it!
