250840_320452681377490_1342109119_nThis has always fascinated me and I have tried to do it myself personally but the tediousness makes it so very difficult. I guess for now I will have to do with adoring these creations from afar. These are created by blowing out a contents of an eggshell by drilling a hole at the end of the egg at each of its tips. The egg must then be dried. A variety of eggshells can be used: ostrich, emu, rhea, goose, chicken, and a variety of others. These can even be purchased dried and ready to use from some internet outlets. The usage of a Dremel (or preferably a high speed drill such as a dentist tool) . You must also use a face mask and a ventilating system to avoid getting eggshell dust up into your respiratory system which can make you very ill. The stands that they use are just as intricately created by making something from scratch, using antique candle holders, and other unique holders. I have only tried using a Dremel but would love to get my hands on a high speed drill it would be great to create something so special.

Keepsake Stone

With a grandchild on the way I find myself thinking back to my kids growing up and wish we had preserved so much more of their creations and developments then we did. The notebooks full of their art, awards, programs, school work, report cards and such are wonderful to have. But I miss their tiny little feet and hands and wish I could go back and hold them once again. I found this recipe to make a stone for impressions of a loved ones hands and feet or impressions of keepsake like keys or jewelry etc. It made me wish we had done something similar to preserve the size of our precious little ones. Tell us how this project goes if you do one…. would love to see pictures.

Hobby Lobby Craft Stores coupon page:

www.hobbylobby.com

Then click IN STORE SPECIALS at the top in a tab…..

Then click on the 40% OFF Coupon……

This takes you to a stand alone coupon page where you can print multiple coupons. One per person per visit…. A child can use one, Your partner can use one, A friend can use one…. and I always print out more than I need and either drop off one here and there throughout store or find someone who I think could use one and hand it to them. It amazes me that people didn’t know they are available or those who forget it at home.

Hobby Lobby is by far one of my favorite stores and I always ask for gift cards for every celebration in my life…. I can always buy something there.

Please give a comment if you find this web page not to display coupons or if you get an error message when clicking link. Thanks for helping!
