Make your own window clings

Currently Chuck's windows are covered in homemade window clings.

They were super easy to make.  All you need are:

• Clear contact paper
• Paint pens (or Sharpies-- although the colors aren't as vibrant)
• Scissors.  

Just doodle on the contact paper, cut out your doodles, and you're done.  Easie peasie.  Instant personalized decorations for your windows.

Happy Tuesday!

What's up Chuck?

Happy Monday, friend!
How was your weekend?

This past weekend we visited a friend's new digs in the city and celebrated a cousin's birthday at the Bronx Zoo.  Here are some photos from our zoo adventures...

Three cousins ready to start their zoo adventure!

Such a beautiful building-  love the carved animal heads

Chuck saw his cousin sitting on her daddy's shoulders, so he wanted to ride on hubby's shoulders too!

We almost caught this peacock, but he was a slippery fellow.

Some of Chuck's favorite animals

Seeing the cousins play together made me so happy

Make Borax Crystal Flowers

Why make borax crystal flowers?  Well, do you love the look of freshly cut flowers sitting in a vase?  I do.  But I never buy them because of my cursed black thumb.  While most people's cut flowers last for weeks, mine always start turning brown and wilting within a day or two.

Boo, black thumb!   

Last week our craft store had a sale on fake flowers.  I was so tempted to buy them, but they looked kinda cheesy and screamed, "I'm fake and I attract dust."

But I ended up getting the flowers anyway, because I wanted to make something pretty with them.  Here's what I came up with:  Crystal Flowers 

Make Crystal Flowers!

Yes.  My fake flowers are covered with real crystals... that I grew from Borax.  Lovely, aren't they?
