Crafting Update

Before I could get very involved with my new package of crafty stuff, someone else beat me to it...Is there something wrong?Where on earth did she get this mouse-flavored tape measure?
I had to wrestle it away from him so I could use part of it for some ATCs for the swap. These are called "50 is the new 30" and they will be mailed out for a couple of April birthdays as soon as I tidy them up and maybe add a little more bling!

They are such helpers aren't they?

Is it just my imagination or is the rake on the other side now?

At least yours tries to help. Mine are my critics!

Cool! Atcs are so fun to make!

Did you end up making anything else with the dollar store crafts stash?
