Another great idea from a a mom, Magnetic Art Display from Wisdom of the Moon blog.
Complete supply list on her site along with full instrucion on how to make this magnetic strip, but she basically used supplies from Home Depot type store and decorated with metal paint.
The result is both functional and great looking. This would be a good idea for any craft room to hang works in progress, kids art or notes.

I do love stencil theorems for card and small pieces of furniture. I have a weird wall on the side of deck ( it is actually side of kids club house) by pool. I keep looking at the white painted plywood that has a few things hanging on it- wrought iron Dragon fly, mosaic stuff, etc but I would like to add a mural od some sort. I thought I would do stencillings but fearful it will look tacky or “country”
This site was at CHA show and had these gorgeous stencils from http://stencil1.com/shop.html.
They have other that I would never put up- but would have loved in my early 20’s . Some Che, Rock star ones and edgier stencils you can use for mural or T-shirts.

How do you clean up all those little bit and pieces of paper that accumulate around your craft area? I am quite conscientious about making sure my scrap go in a basket as I work. When scrapbooking the paper corners and cropped photos create tons of paper scrap. No matter how hard I try they seem to end up on the floor and they tend to stick to hard wood floor. Very difficult to sweep up.
Dust busters do not have a enough suction to pick up all the paper buts and I will do anything to avoid hauling out the 50 pound central vac hose. In fact- I just remembered our central vacuuming isn’t even functioning because there is a piece of paper stuck in the 20 foot long house and last time it happened I had to pay vacuum repair guy 30.00 to get it out. ARGH . Shows you how often I vacuum. I tell my friends we are going “green” and I am saving the planet by not vacuuming.. or washing dishes or doing laundry.
Well, that excuse won’t fly anymore now that Dirt Devil has come out with a a new cordless vacuum that has been rated as an Energy Star appliance. What does this mean? It uses 70% less energy than others of its type.WHAT?!
Now what am I going to do?

Love these! These would be great to make for loot bags or for kids to make at birthday party. Also terrific if you are looking for crafts to do over the summer or summer camp crafts.
You could also have a lot of fun at the Holidays and make shrink plastic Halloween rings and ones for Christmas.
These are a good craft for boys - you can get lots of stamps now with boy theme like spider web or bugs. This would also be a good craft for kids to do for a gift- would make a nice mother’s day gift (for grandmas too) or teachers gift.
The full tutorial for making these nice shrink plastic rings is on the blog Planet June.

The Radio Disney Summer Concert Series finale is scheduled for 2 pm Saturday, July 26, 2008 and is just one of many exciting upcoming Wildwood events taking place this summer!
Wildwoods Convention Center
The Oceanfront Arena with Raven-Symone from Disney Channel’s “That’s so Raven” and the currently showing Walt Disney movie, “College Road Trip” starring Martin Lawrence and Raven-Symone. The July 26th concert will also feature Mitchell Musso from the “Hannah Montana Show”. maybe I am showing my age- but does anyone remember Rudy on The Cosby Show? Well, she is all grown up and worth as zillion dollars as one of the Cheetah Girls and from her hit TV show. I tried to watch the Cosby Show with my daughter a few months ago and was shocked at how dated it was. I remember it being so cutting edge and funny! It didn’t hold up that well 
I have two “tweens” and both are nuts for anything Disney channel- which we have on our satellite radio. Anything Taylor Swift, Hannah Montana or Jesse Mccartney is a hit.
Wildwood is a offering a special deal for the concert goers:
For July 26th Concert ticket holders will get major savings at Morey’s Piers from the time of purchase through until July 27, 2008. Simply show your official July 26 Radio Disney Summer Concert Series finale ticket at Guest Services on Mariner’s Landing and receive $10 off an all-day waterpark ticket for either Raging Waters or Ocean Oasis, or $10 off an amusement pier wristband valid for all three of Morey’s Piers, or $15 off a one-day splash and ride combination ticket.
Looking for somewhere to stay while visiting Wildwood? Check out prices and deals for Wildwood NJ hotels.

This might be a good and cheap craft for groups of kids- maybe older kids if you aren’t looking for perfect results.
I think thse are quite stunning,
Taking plain terracotts or clay pots and making them into something almost elegant with a simple 9 and cheap!) tube of puffy white paint. What a great idea - for complete instructions visit DIY Puffy Paint Terra Cotta Planters
I think you could also do something nice with kids with bit of colour- use 2-3 colours and make pop-art flowers, bright fish, starts, etc. A cheap and cheerful take it home “loot” bag could be one of these decorate pots with a colorful flowering plant or bulb inside.

This is a nice craft for older girls in 8 year old + range. Moms like them too.
From the Craft Chica craft blog Beaded Bobby Pins. Nice pictures, supply list and good instruction. Younger kids may need help clipping wire.
These would make a really good craft idea for girls birthday party or to make for little gifts- stocking stuffers, etc.
And what a great way to use up left over beads from cross stitch projects!

I can always justify spending money on crafts. At the rate I buy supplies I figure every card i make cost about 34.00. Pleasure and enjoyment- priceless. I have a monthly bdget that I allow myself- i TRY to stick to under a 100.00 for all craft related stuff. That include paints, materials, tools and for things like crops- and food that I might buy there. I also include in that budget all my kids crafts.
One way I keep track of how much I spend is a use a PayPal debut card- you could l also use a pre-paid card. or rewards type card where you get credit card gas rewards or air miles.
My PayPal card works perfectly because the only way money goes into my Paypal account is when I sell something on ebay.
It has helped quite a bit with budgeting.
