Inexpensive Matching Game with an old Memory game (WFMW)

For lots of great tips and ideas, visit Works for Me Wednesday at Rocks in My Dryer! I made a simple and inexpensive matching game to use in therapy (I work very parttime as a Developmental Therapist with kids under the game of three) with the help of a piece of 12×12 cardstock (or poster [...]

Etsy Banners — Price Reduction!

I only have a few banners left in my Etsy shop (I think four, actually) and I have reduced the price of them to just $3.00 each! Each of the banners is 760×100 (which is perfect for an Etsy store). Depending on your blog, it might also work for your blog. Here’s a couple of [...]

A successful outlet shopping trip

This weekend was supposed to be a long weekend with two of my sisters, our Mom, one of my aunts, and my cousin’s (her son) wife. But, it seemed that everyone has had a pretty hard month, and since my Mom just had a triple hernia surgery (yes — she went into surgery for one, [...]

Super cute magnets with Starbucks Frappuccino lids (aka Molly’s prayers)

A couple of months ago, I was shopping on Etsy. I just love Etsy. If by some chance you have never visited Etsy (how could that be?), you really must put aside a few days hours moments to browse through it. Okay, so, that said, I visited Capone’s Curiosities and I just fell in love [...]

Why There Are No Three Year Old Fashion Designers (Wordless Wednesday)

Holy Cow! That’s some good cleaner! (WFMW)

I was in Walmart a month or so ago, and ran across this big display near the groceries of a biodegradable, organic cleaner. And, even better — it was pink and was only $1.00/bottle. So, I picked it up! I will admit that I didn’t get to use it right away, since I already had [...]

Make It Yourself: Inexpensive Composting Bin Using a Trash Can

Happy Earth Day! In honor of Earth Day, I thought I would post about the newest addition to our backyard — a composter! I have been wanting to buy a composter for a while now, but everywhere that I looked was so expensive, plus I couldn’t seem to find one locally, so I would have [...]

$20 Amazon.com Gift Certificate Giveaway Here This Week!

I hadn’t planned to join in on this carnival, and then all of the sudden this morning, I thought, “Well…why not?” So, then I thought about my online store (Autumn Daisy Studio) and thought of what to offer. But, while I would love for people to go check it out, I actually decided to go [...]
