    Thanks for these – great ideas! I’m *so* not at all crafty. But sometimes, I get the crafty bug. Nice to know I can pull a project together with what we may have already!

    Wish I’d had these recipes years ago. Especially the DIY face paint! The local savages would have enjoyed that when they were little.
