Do You Write for Ezine (or similar)?

I have been adding ezine articles every now and then as a way to get a few more readers and to provide some useful information about crafts.

My latest article is about kirigami : http://ezinearticles.com/?Simple-Kirigami-Patterns-for-Beginners-and-Children&id=6917098

Have any of you written ezine (or similar) articles? How many of you have positive results from writing articles and how many think it’s not worth doing?

Creative App That Anyone Can Play With

I’ve recently discovered a SUPER FUN app that connects different people and allows you to let your imaginations go wild while drawing.

It’s essentially Pictionary, which I absolutely love!

Here are some examples of my drawings:

 

 

 

If you are interested in this game, just look for “Draw Something” and enjoy!  They have a free version and a cheapie paid version.  The best part about this game is that you get to collect coins from each game you get correct and then use those coins to buy colours or other benefits -not real money like other games that get you to buy extras.

One Good Thing a Day – Project Day 90 – Hiking Photos and a Happy Miho

How to: Simple (and adorable) Easter Gift Tags

1 – Simply print out the egg shapes posted below and glue (or tape) the large ones on colourful heavy card stock.

2 – Punch a hole out at the top and loop some string. Using the small egg shapes, cut them out of colourful/textured or decorative paper and arrange them however you like at the bottom of the large egg shape. (I used my scrap Japanese washi). This will allow space to write on the tag but if you require more room, simply use the back of the tag instead.

3 – Attach the tags on Easter gifts, baskets or even on bouquets of spring flowers. You can also make a few of them and turn them into a cute Easter mobile!

Since my Spring Bento from the other day, I started looking for some cute bento boxes and accessories -I’m so sorry that I didn’t stock up when I was in Japan….. it certainly didn’t help I had to leave in such a hurry!

I did find a few things in Amazon and really want to get these egg molds

or these adorable decorative nori punches

or (my favourite) fruit and vegetable cutters that can also work as cookie cutters!
