Picture Frame Crafts For Your Kids Party
by: Patricia B. Jensen
One of the most popular party favors is a framed picture of the party guest taken at your kids party. He or she could be showing off a silly hat or party costume, performing an outrageous party game stunt, or wearing a face full of frosting and ice cream.
Having party guests create their own make-and-take frame to display this memorable photo makes it an even greater treasure for the memory box.
Start with a plain square of cardboard with an opening the size of your picture. When the decorating is done, simply glue picture to the back of the frame.
Here's a brainstorm of frame ideas and decorating materials kids can use:
* Cut your photo into a circle and glue to the center of a nice shiny CD. Decorate with star stickers.
* Cut frames from different colored craft foam. Layer the foam squares for a unique effect.
Decorative foam pieces in many unique shapes and themes are available at your craft store.
* Make a simple craft stick frame and decorate it with faux gems, sequins, sparkles, or stickers.
* Fashion a frame with craft clay.
* Use faux craft fur to make a really "wild" looking frame. Great for a jungle themed party.
* Tie one end of a long length of colorful yarn to your cardboard square. Wrap the yarn around and around the square until it is completely covered.
* Glue tiny Barbie doll accessories such as combs, brushes, sunglasses, and purses. Ideal for a Barbie party or little girl's dress up party.
* Brush a square of cardboard with white craft glue. Sprinkle craft sand onto the glue in different colors and patterns. Shake excess sand onto newspapers and let dry.
* Use outdoor treasures such as tiny pine cones, leaves, and small stones to make a nature frame. Perfect for a garden party or bug party.
* Colorful buttons in various sizes and shapes can be laid out in an interesting design.
* Apply geometrical shapes of felt in a creative pattern.
* Cover your frame with pretty fabric.
* Apply colored clay shapes to your cardboard square.
* Hard edible sugar decorations for cakes come in a variety of themes. These can be used to decorate your frame.
* Different shapes of macaroni make interesting frame decorations. Try elbows, wheels, bowties, and fusilli.
* Tiny colored pompoms make a cute soft frame. Apply complementary colors in rows.
* Tear off one inch pieces of multi-colored tissue paper. Pinch between fingers, dip in glue and apply to your frame.
* Small dried beans or peas laid out in intricate patterns make a unique frame.
Kids will love the hands-on party activity and parents will enjoy their child's picture displayed intheir own uniquely creative frame.

Confessions of a Designer Handbag Junkie
Confessions of a Designer Handbag Junkie
by: Cathy Feldman
As you are likely aware, I am a designer handbag fanatic.
I have been advised by family and friends that this could be developing into a problem, but I am confident that I have it under control.
Sure, I have bounced my rent check to purchase a new purse.
Who hasn't?
There have been times when I have skipped out on my utility bills, so I would have enough cash to buy a new handbag.
Who wouldn't?
I have spent countless nights dreaming about shopping for the latest fashionable designs.
So what if I want to have Kenneth Cole's babies.
I really don't see the problem here.
To make my mother happy, I have made the following pledge (ever-so-loosely based on the "twelve step" program):
My name is Cathy, and I am addicted to designer handbags and high fashion.
I admit that I am powerless over Prada, and that...

Just as fashion ebbs and flows, yesterday?s fashion ins are shut out in the cold!
A true fashionista keeps careful track of what items have jumped to the out list.
No one wants to be seen in a trend that expired yesterday, so if you are used to wearing trendy items, you may want to keep an eye out to see what?s out!

Look to your fashion magazines, cable channels that specialize in clothing and style, or great articles on the World Wide Web to determine when it is time to hang up your out clothing and accessories.
What?s out this season:

Do It Yourself: Drip Irrigation System
Do It Yourself: Drip Irrigation System
by: Janeth Duque
Installing an irrigation system in your yard can help make maintenance easier. After all, you will not have to hand set sprinklers all day and try to remember where you have already watered. A sprinkler system, however, is not a project for the average do-it-yourselfer. This is because there are multiple precise calculations that need to be made, and a great deal of special handling necessary to properly...
