Boredom Busters


 Wash your bike and get ready
for a nice long ride.....
 or
wash your bike after a 
nice long ride.
 Call it spring cleaning! 
Don't forget to rinse!
 Decorate a flower pot with almost anything you
can find around the house. Warm up the glue gun and let your imagination take your creation to a whole new level!
Make a candle to illuminate your senses! Use old candles,
Use crayons, 
Or go to the hardware store for some paraffin wax!
Add interesting objects as the wax settles...
Perhaps a scent too...

Wacky Wednesday

Why are they Wacky Wednesdays?
Because that sounds like its a lot more fun than 
Weird Wednesdays or 
Working Wednesdays or 
Way Out There Wednesdays!
Besides, we get to make stuff that is pretty cool and so do you!
And I get to make a video! Animation, that is....

Wacky Wednesday

By using your own photos, glass gems, and the correct magnets with the right space age glue you can make a crafty refrigerator magnet for your locker, your fridge, or your friends!

We try to keep things simple and give instructions to our Wacky Wednesday project in 4 easy steps.

1. Choose you bauble....
  This could be any bright shiny object or the fancy 1/2 marbles or pieces of sea glass that you can   get in hobby stores. You may even have a favorite rock that you would like to use.

 Wash the bauble or the rock with soapy water to get off any residue that may be lurking.

3. Choose your art. You can cut out a picture, use a sticker, or even draw something on the top of your bauble.

4. Use space age glue to attach your art to the bottom of the bauble so the picture shows through to the top. It will look a little magnified! Cool Huh!

5. Use another dab of space age glue to add the magnet to the bottom.

               Here's a sampling of a few that we made! We have infinite resources in a toy store!





There are tons of ways you can craft with buttons, but these magnets from Fynes Designs just moved to the top of my list. They’re already the perfect size and shape — how much easier can it get?! - See more at: http://blog.hgtv.com/design/2013/05/06/fridge-magnets-you-can-make/#sthash.X7psMgHm.dpuf

Frequently Asked Questions... What's New?

Starting this week, we're mixing things up a bit and presenting our version of "Wacky Wednesday".
We could do something like wearing a Lorax mustache, it could be getting the Poppers out for a target challenge, or it could be as Wacky as riding a Plasmacar all over downtown. 
At any rate, we've got some Wackiness up our sleeves and want to share it with you this Wednesday right here at the store. Take a look at the video to see what we're gonna do this week!
