Gak

Deci's last day of her speech preschool was last week.  She will start again in the Fall but one of her favorite things about her class is that they get to play with this play-doh(ish) stuff they call Gak.  So we asked for the recipe and I thought I would share it with you guys.  Super easy.

What you will need:

1. 2 cups water

2. 1 Tbs Borax

3. food coloring

4. 1 cup Elmer's White Glue

First Mix: 1 cup water, 1 tbs Borax and food coloring together in a bowl.

Then in another bowl mix: 1 cup water and 1 cup Elmer's glue.

Then, slowly pour the first bowls contents into the 2nd bowl while mixing together.

It will look something like this:

At this point, I thought I had messed something up because it wasn't mixing together.  I then put my hands in the bowl and started kneading it together.  It took a little bit and I still wasn't quite sure I got it right when I passed it to Deci to play with but after a few minutes it turned out perfect!

This was a full hour of entertainment a few nights ago!

AND I'm pretty sure if you store it in an airtight container it will last a while!

Cork Stamps

I've recently found a new blog that I'm following (Blessed to be a Blessing) and I found this really cute idea on her blog (from her post Simple, Sweet Cards)...she found it on Pinterest (Source)! I LOVE Pinterest!  If only I had more time to spend on there.

CORK STAMPS!! :)  Now, why didn't I think of that?

So, while my two crafty friends (Britni and Holleigh) sewed themselves a dress...(seriously, sewed a dress in 2 hours and I'm jealous and will be begging them soon to walk me step-by-step through making myself one!) I needed the girl time so I sat mesmerized watching them and making these FUN and EASY cork stamps!

forgive my lack of editing with this pic from my phone...I'm having editing issues STILL.

All you have to do is get some corks, sharpie, and box cutter/knife and get to work.  :)  So much FUN!
