Camera Tattoo

Hey guys! I got a new tattoo! It's pretty exciting. I really wanted a tattoo that meant something to me. After all, I have no idea why you would get a tattoo that didn't mean something to you. It's permanent! So here it is:

In case you're debating getting a tattoo in this location, it doesn't hurt too bad. I mean, it's a tattoo. They use a needle to get the color into your skin so it hurts a little, but it really doesn't hurt as bad as some other tattoo locations (for women, anyway. We have some extra cushion here).

DIY Bookmark by a toddler

This past Mother's Day, my son made an amazing gift for me! It's adorable and I get to see it every time I read a book. I love it! Plus, it's super easy.

Step 1: Pick out some pictures and arrange them in a word document. Print. Cut down to size.

Step 2: Have your child color on a piece of paper (we used a green piece of paper). Cut the paper down to the same size as your pictures. We then chose to write on it and have my son sign it, but this part is clearly optional.

Step 3: Cut a black piece of paper a little larger than your other two pieces of paper. Now glue your colored paper and pictures on opposite sides of the black paper.

Step 4: Use clear tape (like packing tape) to cover your bookmark. We used two pieces to accommodate how wide it was. You can barely see the seam. This basically laminates the bookmark to make it more durable.

Step 5: Use a hole punch to make a hole in the top. Use a piece of yarn to make a tail at the top. We used yarn that was the same color as the piece of paper my son colored.
This is our finished project:

I think it turned out pretty cool!

Brownie Waffles

Have you guys seen (on Pinterest) how you can make almost anything in a waffle iron? Last week, I made a grilled cheese in the waffle iron! Well, today, I have brownies for you. I made the decision to just use boxed brownie mix.

Then you just put the mix in like you would waffle mix. Make sure that you thoroughly coat your waffle iron in nonstick spray though. Otherwise, it's nearly impossible to get the brownie off.

Just a little tip: The brownie will be very soft when you try to get it out of the waffle iron. This does make it a little difficult. However, it will stiffen up while it cools down.

Now top your brownie waffle with some ice cream, a little chocolate drizzle, and a few sprinkles and you've got yourself a cute, fast, easy, and delicious dessert!

Crocheted Basket

Hey guys! I just finished a project that I really want to share with you! It's a basket. And I made it myself...out of yarn! You may be thinking, "If it's made out of yarn, how is it sturdy?" I thought the same thing. But then I watched the tutorial and it said to use 2 pieces of yarn at one time. The yarn is doubled! This really does make it a lot sturdier than if you only used one. I can tell my basket isn't going to fall apart anytime soon.

I got the tutorial from youtube. The woman's channel is called bobwilson123. I've seen a couple of her tutorials and they are very clear and easy to understand. You can find part 1 for this basket here and part 2 here.

Here are some pictures of my process. I hope you enjoy! and let me know how you did!
