Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

So it was my son's ninth birthday, back on April first, and he had his party on April fourth. 

For his birthday party, we needed a cake, obviously. And I wanted to make it myself, instead of going and getting a store made cake. I was scrolling through Pinterest one day, and happened to spot a post showing how to make an ice cream sandwich cake, but it was just pictures, with no instructions, and it didn't have a link to an actual site with directions, so I looked at those pictures, and came up with the following cake.

Here's an easy craft to make with the kids to help make your home more Halloweeny. They're fun, and a little messy, but messy is part of the fun, right?

Hi everyone! See? I told you I would be posting a new post soon, and here I am! Aren't you glad to see me?

Today I'm going to show you how I made this cute Yarn Octopus the the little prince that lives next door.

Crayon Art - How To

So I realized after reading my last post that all I said about how to make the crayon art was that I had looked it up and figured it would be easy. That really isn't much help for anyone reading this blog, because, ok, so I know how, but you may not!

So I decided to make this post. A "Crayon Art - How To" for those of you who don't know how these are made.

Crayon Art

Here's the thing.
I can't draw.
At all.
In fact, my 6 year old son can draw better stick people than I can. No, I'm not kidding, believe me, I wish I was.
So when it comes to expressing myself via art work, I've been greatly lacking in ways to do so that made me happy. I would try to draw, or paint or whatever, and would get insanely frustrated when things didn't end up looking anything like what they looked like in my mind, so I stopped trying those types of things. I stopped trying to make things look like things. I embraced the abstract.
So when I first saw a melted crayon art piece, I was thrilled! That kind of thing was perfect for me!
I did a bit of googling, and found out that it was a really easy thing to do, and so set out to get the supplies I would need to create my own.
