Yes, my laptop died, again. So, I will be scarce around here for awhile. They said it would probably be 2 weeks before I get it back. **sigh** I had a lot of different lesson plans on there, so I’m starting from scratch with that as well.

On Tuesday, we find ourselves back at the library for a PJ party!! You can not beat good stories, some fun singing and dancing, and some yummy popcorn. Today, we headed…

After seeing the fun Tiny Treats featured in Family Fun magazine, we decided that these would be perfect for Munchkin’s American girl doll collection. We headed over to Michael’s to pick up some polymer clay. We’ve never worked with polymer clay, so really we didn’t know what to expect, but we ended up having a lot of fun making all of these goodies. Since we were having so much fun, I found a book about polymer clay miniatures at the library. I showed how to make all kinds of little goodies. We picked up some more polymer clay (on sale)…
