The site is &lt;a href="http://www.dltk-kids.com/"&gt;DLTK's Crafts for Kids&lt;/a&gt;. I've been using DLTK's since my oldest was in pre-k.&amp;nbsp;The site is run by a mom who for the most part came up with all the craft ideas as projects to do with her girls and their friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DLTK's Crafts has printable color sheets, craft ideas, educational worksheets... you name it. There is even a page where you can search for a craft by which supplies are needed. This is great for rainy days at home. Just take a look in the craft bucket, see what you have on hand, and head over to the &lt;a href="http://www.dltk-kids.com/type/index.htm"&gt;search tab&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DLTK's is usually my go-to place for the kids around the holidays. We print out coloring sheets and look for easy craft ideas to decorate the house with. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.dltk-holidays.com/"&gt;http://www.dltk-holidays.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Happy Crafting &amp;amp; Enjoy Your Tuesday!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"&gt;(DLTK's Crafts &amp;amp; A Very Merry Christmas Store are in no way connected.

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;A few years ago I wanted to find a way to put our own family twist on Thanksgiving dinner. I came up with this tablecloth that we bring out every year to use for the holiday. My plan is to update it every year in the hopes of passing it down to the kids one of these days as a family heirloom.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fcz1eVISs5k/TI--3-fg4KI/AAAAAAAAAKk/gRpWCZ6bfi8/s1600/IMG_0341.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="180" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fcz1eVISs5k/TI--3-fg4KI/AAAAAAAAAKk/gRpWCZ6bfi8/s200/IMG_0341.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fcz1eVISs5k/TI--95d8esI/AAAAAAAAAKs/bHVa_dWTJec/s1600/IMG_0343.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="190" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fcz1eVISs5k/TI--95d8esI/AAAAAAAAAKs/bHVa_dWTJec/s200/IMG_0343.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Instructions:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: left;"&gt;Pick up a plain white cotton/linen tablecloth.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: left;"&gt;Grab your ink pad from the craft cabinet and stamp the kids' handprints on the tablecloth.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: left;"&gt;Write their names and year by their prints. When they get older they can write their names themselves and you can look back thru the years to see how their handwriting has improved.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: left;"&gt;Embellish as you would like. I have left mine plain white, but you can buy Thanksgiving themed stamps that would work well also.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: left;"&gt;If you plan to have a true messy Thanksgiving feast using this tablecloth, you'll want to purchase a clear cover to place on top of it. Usually, clear disposable covers are available at party supply stores for just around $2.00.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

They are unique and simple to make. &lt;b&gt;Enjoy!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan;"&gt;Monday / Tuesday Blog Hops:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.southernloves.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fcz1eVISs5k/TIZlgkAItFI/AAAAAAAAAJk/vesbLO85evc/s320/Button3.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://tweepoppets.blogspot.com/search/label/tuesday%20tag-along"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fcz1eVISs5k/TIZoo4iVMII/AAAAAAAAAJs/7X2jwMUw4e4/s320/TTAButtonSize-1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4505593549365058006-4659124605306011214?l=averymerrychristmasstore.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://averymerrychristmasstore.blogspot.com/feeds/4659124605306011214/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4505593549365058006&amp;postID=4659124605306011214&amp;isPopup=true' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4505593549365058006/posts/default/4659124605306011214'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4505593549365058006/posts/default/4659124605306011214'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://averymerrychristmasstore.blogspot.com/2010/09/crafty-tuesday-santas-red-underwear.html' title='Crafty Tuesday - Santa&apos;s Red Underwear'/><author><name>AVMCS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00680097250108244009</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='20' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fcz1eVISs5k/TGSlQEgoZuI/AAAAAAAAADA/jjQDo29NRL4/S220/avmcs_hidef.preview.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fcz1eVISs5k/TIZhIuoBYtI/AAAAAAAAAJU/ODjGxebCnxY/s72-c/IMG_0327.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505593549365058006.post-8879343581154971627</id><published>2010-09-02T07:52:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2010-09-08T19:35:41.319-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Events'/><title type='text'>Reserve Your Spot Today - Design Event</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #500050; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"&gt;A Very Merry Christmas Store&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Proudly Presents&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"&gt;Harold Hand&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Creative Designer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SEPTEMBER 11 &amp;amp; 12, 2010&lt;br /&gt;1:00 - 5:00 PM&lt;br /&gt;@ A Very Merry Christmas Store,&lt;br /&gt;923 Front Street, Conway, AR&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"&gt;To Reserve a Seat: (501) 548-6177&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #500050; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Our events are free to attend and feature hands-on workshops so that you can take your decorating skills to the next level!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;In September, we will once again welcome [by overwhelming demand] designer Harold Hand, featured in O Magazine, D Home, Southern Accents, and many other publications and media.

When I was in school it meant seeing friends I didn't get to see over the summer, shopping for school clothes, picking out a cool new trapper keeper (I might be dating myself here!), and best of all it meant organizing and decorating my locker! I used to spend hours picking out pictures of friends, and searching for anything that seemed worthy enough to hang on that small canvas known as my locker door. It was a means of self expression, a conversation starter among friends and also a place where the occasional note was left stating the latest school gossip. Oh how I loved my locker!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Here is a tutorial for the tween or teenager in your life who is looking for the perfect way to express him or herself, and also have a handy little space to write a reminder of a paper due or important club meeting. For the purpose of this tutorial I designed a chalkboard that is on the girly side, however, depending on the selection of paint color and embellishments, this project could easily be suited for a boy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Let's Get Crafting!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Materials Needed:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;Unfinished 5x7 wood picture frame&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;Paint&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;Paint brush&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;Chalkboard vinyl (my new favorite craft product!!!!)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;Embellishments&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;Ink pad&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;Velcro&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;Glue gun, tacky glue or glue dots&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;Scissors&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;Sand paper&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;Magnets&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;Ribbon&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;Chalk&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Step 1.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fcz1eVISs5k/TH06Q-9hZQI/AAAAAAAAAIM/OAgEYC4RKp0/s1600/Picture-Frame-Painted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fcz1eVISs5k/TH06Q-9hZQI/AAAAAAAAAIM/OAgEYC4RKp0/s320/Picture-Frame-Painted.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Remove the backing and glass from your picture frame and paint with the color of your choice.

For the purpose of this tutorial I chose to use a brightly colored ink, however a brown ink would look great, and give your finished product an aged appearance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Step 3.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fcz1eVISs5k/TH06zQMPoAI/AAAAAAAAAIc/7lLiuQQ6_pk/s1600/Chalkboard-Vinyl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fcz1eVISs5k/TH06zQMPoAI/AAAAAAAAAIc/7lLiuQQ6_pk/s320/Chalkboard-Vinyl.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;While you are waiting for the ink to dry on your frame, you may begin working on applying the chalkboard vinyl. I used the frame insert and glass as a template to cut my piece of vinyl to fit inside the frame. To apply the chalkboard vinyl, peel off a small corner of the paper backing. Stick it directly to the picture frame glass making sure to align the sides and corners. Slowly peel away the rest of the vinyl paper backing while smoothing any air bubbles from the surface of the vinyl.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Step 4.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fcz1eVISs5k/TH07GbEvpKI/AAAAAAAAAIk/iB6jZmTIEvo/s1600/Add-Embelishments.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fcz1eVISs5k/TH07GbEvpKI/AAAAAAAAAIk/iB6jZmTIEvo/s320/Add-Embelishments.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Insert the chalkboard piece into the frame and add embellishments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Step 5.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fcz1eVISs5k/TH07Y8J6i9I/AAAAAAAAAIs/ushR7wbrXWQ/s1600/Chalk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fcz1eVISs5k/TH07Y8J6i9I/AAAAAAAAAIs/ushR7wbrXWQ/s320/Chalk.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Cut a piece of ribbon to fit around your chalk and secure the ends with glue.

Hold the flower next to the end of the pen and start wrapping the floral tape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Dust the finished pen with baby powder to get rid of the sticky feeling from the floral tape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Accessorize with ribbons or stick them in a cute little flower pot, vase, or mug with dried beans as a filler.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d;"&gt;Note:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bigger flowers with a flat base will work best.
