My 1st tooth fairy adventure!

Like I mentioned in a previous post my in-laws are here for the Summer. They brought my neices & my youngest one lost a tooth the other night. So I decided to have some fun :-) Someone... Can't remember who, posted fairy in a bottle craft on Facebook. I did it & it was too cute!! All you need is:

a mason or decorative jar

Cloudy water

(I used Shampoo & food coloring)

Little glow stick

After the jar is filled up and the glow stick is snapped, the jar glows! I also found a letter from the tooth fairy on FairyLand.com & printed it out I added the money, letter & glitter into an envelope. When she woke up she was amazed the tooth fairy knew her name! :-)

So be patient with me while I figure everything out! I am obsessed with craft & couponing blogs lately. So, I decided that it is my turn! :) Sooo... Here I go!

I have been crafting away the past few days! My in-laws are in town from IL. They have a storage unit down here full of goodies from my father in-law's mom's. I am talking antique tea carts... china cabinets.. the list could go on forever. Well, today I went and took a look! OH. MY. I found some AWESOME stuff! Lots of projects for me to have some fun with! As I get them finished I will posts pictures and the 4-1-1 on what I did... Just in case anyone out there cares haha.

Right now, I am working on this awesome activity table for the Kan-Man! I can't wait to show it off! :)
