Coloring With The Stars :OP

Okay okay that is probably the lamest title I have ever come up with lol, but after spending 5 hours cleaning my children's rooms top to bottom today my brain is just about done. Of course with deep clean comes a lot of things from broken toys to broken crayons. Well I remembered as I cleaned that the other day while on Pinterest I came across a picture of remelted crayons. So I rush to find the directions and :O( sadly it was just a picture of cut crayons and the finished product. So I though ehhh why not let's figure this out.lol So I gathered all my crayons up and peeled off any remaining paper. The next issue was getting them in small pieces. I cut them just long enough to fill the hole of the mold standing up. My kids insisted that we had to try to keep like colors together lol, I thought it would be far more fun to mix them, so we did a little of both :O) After filling the molds as best I could I thought hmmmmm....soooo....how do I melt it.lol Well I tried them in the microwave for 2 minutes with no change :O( I remembered I had a heat gun....hehehe....so I turn it on low and melted them down. as they cooled I noticed holes coming to the top so I heated them up again. They turned out okay but I think I needed to get them a little hotter maybe next time turning it on high. I'm thinking this may be a great summer time craft! Here in West Texas I could simply put the mold on my dashboard.lol

Homemade Fly Traps

We all love summer but as the weather gets warmer the flies get worse and worse. We have a bush out front of our house that I swear just attracts every fly in town! I wanted to get rid of them but I didn't want to kill all the wonderful butterflies it also attracts. So I went about finding a new way to kill them all. I had some empty Tazo tea bottles I simply poked a pen sized whole in the top, added 1/2 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of dish soap, and 1 tablespoon of syrup.Now I do find that these work better if you place them in the sun :O) If you want to use a bigger container simply multiply the ingredients. Make sure your hole is only about the size of a pen cap! Then they can't seem to get back out.lol

Putting On Girl Scout Badges With A Flat Iron

I love helping all my little daisies earn badges, but as a mom I hate putting them on. Lol I saw an idea on Pinterest a while back to use a flat iron so I thought I'd give it a try. It worked really well but I do have a couple suggestions. First make sure your badge is exactly where you want them. Unlike an iron this causes the glue to melt very fast! Second count I 3-4 and it is probably done! Lastly you will likely have to apply pressure to the end pinching it tight. Overall it worked very well and I will probably keep putting badges on this way :)
