So here's how this started. There have been many occasions in my life as a mother (especially when I was running my dance studio) that I would find myself looking for last-minute ways to seem fabulous with as little effort as possible. I have been known to use a shoe as a hammer (who has time to go in the basement to find a tool) or a butter knife as a screwdriver (seriously, those 5 steps into the basement are a killer!), all in the interest of time-saving. And sometimes laziness.
Now that I have the luxury of being a stay-at-home mom for a while, I figure I owe it to the world (and the "I just don't know how you get it all done" crowd) to share my secrets. Most of the projects I do for the kids and their classes or scout groups are pulled from other blogs and websites - I decide on them based on expense, ease, and wow factor. If it requires sewing or more than an hour to do, I'm usually not interested!
I hope some of you will find these ideas useful, or at least entertaining - I look forward to your comments!
