I'm excited to offer a Winter Mini Art Camp for four- to seven-year-olds. The projects at this camp will be more advanced than what we do at Crafty Fridays and will encourage a lot more independence. I don't want to give too much away, but they will definitely be flexing their imaginations. Day two will end with a special art exhibition to show off their work! Please use the form below to sign up. I will accept payment upon arrival or you can pay at PayPal.Me/melindahwood/20,

I can't think of a holiday that produces big imaginations quite like Halloween. I can remember as a little girl making puppets of spooky families. There were witches, Frankensteins and ghosts. I'd play with those paper cut-outs all month, ha! As an adult, Halloween has become one of my most favorite holidays. We go a little crazy in this house, so you can imagine how excited I was to plan a scary fun Crafty Friday. Inspired by my daughter's favorite book "Mostly Monsterly," we made some super cute monster masks after we read the story. These were created by kids ranging from two to four years old. I cut the ovals out of cereal boxes and they painted them colors of their choice and were given free rein over the other materials. I was a little bummed that the vampire teeth wouldn't stay on with regular glue, so I did have to go back over those with hot glue. (Hot glue is my hero.) To finish it off we added an oversized popsicle stick wrapped with a pipe cleaner for the handle. The kids loved them and I think they turned out super cute!
