Anything But A Card

Hello and welcome to our April Blog Hop. This month's theme is 'Anything But A Card'! And I have two items to share with you.



This little girl is just too adorable not to pair up with a hand-made seed packet. Please feel free to snag the template, below.


For my second project, I decided to do something I haven't done for such a long time - ceramic tile coasters. This is so easy, and would be a great project for the kids to make for Mother's Day or Father's day, or whatever occassion comes along.
