Freelance Friday: Scary Silhouette Pumpkin
 Can you believe the month of September is halfway over? Gosh time flies, especially when you're crafting. Since Halloween is on the horizon we wanted to give you some inspiration for a great project you can have your kids help create. This weekend try creating this scary silhouette pumpkin. These pumpkins are made with paper mache. Kids and paper mache make for fantastic crafts. It is a very simple technique, and can be done by any level crafter. We found this project over on the blog, The Country Chic Cottage. In addition to paper mache, Angie used Mod Podge in this project. Click here to see how Angie created this project.

Web Wednesday: Mod-Podge Book Collage

It is never too early to get your kids
interested in reading. This is documented nicely in a recent blog post I
stumbled upon on the blog, Raising Bean. Mar, a Mom to a newborn baby, created
this adorable book collage using Dr. Seuss books and Mod Podge. She happened to
have two copies of the same Dr. Seuss book, and decided to use the pages from
one to create this collage for her daughter. This book collage was used as
decoration inside the walls of her little ones crib. Not only is this project
so cute, it is easy to make. What is your favorite Dr. Seuss book? Mine was
Green Eggs and Ham. To see how Mar made this simple project click here.
