*************************************

Now let's see what pretties got linked up last week:

I LOVE the silver sheen on this robot cake made by I'm Topsy Turvy.  My kids would go crazy for this super cool cake.


This trash to treasure play kitchen redo by All Things Luci Rae just proves how some crafty skills can transform a diamond in the rough to a knock out.  Check out the before and be amazed!


Look at this lovely Tree of Life ornament from Lisa's Craft Blog.  She has a full tutorial so you can make one of these for yourself:


Of course I always love a good sewing project too, and Craft Couture by T.C. shared this adorable one - a Christmas pillow cover:


And this week's Kids Can Craft Party's "Pick of the Week" was Happy Whimsical Hearts flower paint project.  All natural AND fun!



Photobucket

The Kids Can Craft Party is for projects kids can make.  It's always open to add your links and the projects do not have to be new (so if you've got a good one from last year, throw it up there!).  You can link up ANYTIME. Just click HERE to get to that party.  Please remember to link back or put the Kids Can Craft button on your blog so you have a chance to get featured:)


Ready to link up?





Party rules are simple:

  • As long as it's crafty and made by you it's Craftastic (no links to giveaways, shops, other link parties or other people's work - THEY WILL BE REMOVED).  Just add the link to your specific post (not the main page of your blog).
  • Grab my party button & put it on your post or blog.  The code's on the sidebar ->
  • Check out some of the other great links and share some crafty comment love.



I leave the party open until 11:59pmEST every Friday, so there's plenty of time to add your newest creations.  Have fun getting crafty this week!!

    Thank you so much for doing another link party-even though as it gets closer to Thanksgiving, it's probably getting a bit more hectic! I linked up two of my current projects-my DIY Cheap Produce Cleaner and my Vintage Lace Fall Wreath. Hope it's ok that I did two of my projects at once! Thanks again!
