About Me

Hi, I'm Mia. I love crafts, homeschooling and living in different countries. In Central America and Mexico it became somewhat of a challenge to make things. I learned to use articles on hand and a lot of imagination. One very big inspiration for me was when I watched a mother cleaning a chicken. As her little boy skipped by he paused and started looking at the "guts" that she had just placed in a bowl. He pulled out what looked to be the stomach. He then cleaned it up. Placing it to his mouth, he began to blow it up. It was now a balloon. His mother turned and smiled at him as he skipped off to show his prize to his friends. It was then that I challenged myself to make or create things without spending a lot of money. I enjoy using things I already have or can purchase inexpensively. You can do it too. Take the challenge.

SIMPLE EASTER GIFTS FOR FRIENDS


We decided to make a gift for our neighbors to try to get to know them better.  I found a template on line to make my own "Easter basket".  I used white card stock.  I then looked up borders that resembled Easter and ran them off on the computer.  I folded the card stock to make a box and stapled the border around it.  I added "grass".  I didn't want to spend the morning baking cookies so I looked up a recipe of "no bake cookies" and put them on top of the "grass".
 I covered the basket with colored plastic paper.  This wasn't the shrink paper.  I then added a bow with a homemade card attached.
