Thanks to Holly of for this creative craft idea for children for the 25 Days of Christmas series.
When I was a kid we use to make Stain “Glass” Windows by shaving different colored crayons in between wax paper sheets then placing between 2 towels and ironing (warming) on a low setting. We would then make windows from construction paper and glue the wax paper sheets in between them or just cut the sheets into shapes like Christmas trees, bells, candy canes etc. and use a hole punch and ribbon to hang them on the tree or stick them on the windows with invisible scotch tape where the colors would show beautifully when the sun shined through them!

More Holiday Savings
No matter how much my children grow, they never seem to tire of bubbles. Even your average, everyday bubbles thrill them for hours. We like to get creative with our bubbles though just to see what happens. Sometimes we end up with some awesome bubbles, while others times it’s a complete bust (literally!).
Homemade Bubble Solution Recipe
I know bubble solution is cheap, but it will never perform as well as homemade. Just trust me on this.
You may need to adjust the recipe slightly, depending on if you have hard or soft water and what type of dish soap you use, but experimenting is half the fun. If you realize your solution isn’t perfect, no need to start over. Just pour it a little more of whatever you think you need!

The Disney Fairies are one of my daughter’s favorite Disney characters (right there with the Disney Princesses, of course), because they are crafty, silly, and so beautiful. They love the short videos that play on Disney Channel during commercial time, giving them a peak into Pixie Hallow. They are quick, but always hysterical.
Walmart is diving into the world of Pixie Hallow with three FREE exclusive Pixie Hallow previews that are as entertaining as the others, featuring Rosetta, the Southern belle garden fairy who stole my heart in The Pixie Hallow Games by proving she had a bit of edge. Just in time for warmer weather, Rosetta is teaching a “Flowers, Not Just for Garden Fairies” for some of our favorite Disney Fairies, including Tinkerbell.

I find myself using Pinterest more and more to search for anything I need. Here are my favorites from Pinterest this week.
This week’s top 10 things on Pinterest:
When I saw this post at How About Orange, I knew I just had to try it! It’s a wonderful way to use all the extra newspapers we have laying around the house. So instead of the traditional standard basket, we are going to make EASTER BASKETS!!!! Really, when you think about it, it makes sense to make your own baskets. They get used once a year and fall apart almost as soon as the kids are done collecting the candy and gifts out of them, so why not make it out of something we already have around the house?
So collect your supplies and lets get started. You will need:
- Newspaper (2 should do the job)
- Scissors
- Stapler and Staples, glue dots, double sided tape…something sticky
- 30 minutes where you won’t have to touch anything else….the ink gets ALL over your hands!
