allowing me to use it!

Painting Fun Tee Shirts with Kiddos!!

Grammie making ty dye T shirts with the kiddos this am. 

White T's in appropriate size.

Colorful permanent markers.

Plastic or paper cups, rubber bands and rubbing alcohol.

Rubber band the T over the top of the cup.

Use markers, make designs, dots, circles etc.

Drop alcohol with dropper onto the fabric which is still stretched over cup.

Watch the magic happen.

Leave over cup till the magic stops, a very short time.

Continue process until you have the amount of color on the T you like.

Let it set till dry, through in dryer for 15 mins to set and then it is washable.

Kids have so much fun making these...and creating their own designs.

Have fun!

Peace and Blessings, friends,

Summer's Over...School Days! School Days!

Ramblings...from an on again off again Blogger!

I am back again!  The summer is over and school is back in.  Don't know where the

summer went.  Time is so fleeting.  We can never get any of it back.  It flies it just

escapes, goes, etc.  My beach vacation was wonderful, but much to short.  I am a

water person, and being near any body of water makes me extremely happy.  Now that

school has entered another year, I just want to say thank you to all who are in

our education systems, no matter if your a teacher, a janitor or an office manager!

You do a terrific job helping our kids.  Best wishes and blessings for a great year.

Peace and Blessings, dear Friends,

Nancy

Thrift store goodies

Visited a few thrift stores while vacationing, and found a few goodies to share with you.

These will appear in my etsy shop soon!

That is a stack of four ashtrays!  I know smoking is no longer in vogue, but these were quite

pretty with the roses and all that gold.  There are no marks, but suspect Japan.  They would be a

great addition to a dresser or stand to hold bits of jewelry, coins etc.

The little shoe has no marks either and there is a little damage to the rose, but still very nice.

The gold is very shiny and pretty.

Have a great Wednesday!  It's my day off so am catching up!

Peace and Blessings, Friends!

disappeared. No sun tan today! This was so beautiful. Mother Nature doing
her thing! Hope there is no tropical storm headed this way!

You all have a great day! I am enjoying being with my family! on vacation.
