Normally when I look at Sue’s blog I sit back and think “Man, why can’t I do that?!” She is amazing and so talented when it comes to baking and decorating the cutest cookies ever. Then I saw this post and thought “holy smokes, I can do that!” I was so excited! I’m always looking […]
For Halloween do you do silly fun or gory? We always do silly fun but I do like a little bit of the gross. So when I saw these cupcakes over on Pinterest (my new love) from Cakehead Loves Evil I knew we had to make them. Totally cool, right?!?! We made stained glass candy […]
Here is an easy and fun treat for the kids. They didn’t turn out as cool as I had hoped. I think it was because there was so many bubbles in our 7 Up. But the kids didn’t seem to mind. PrintGummy Bear Popsicles Ingredients7 Up Gummy BearsInstructionsLet your 7 Up sit out for […]
My daughter’s pre-school class has been learning Japanese all year. It’s so cool to hear her speak and she is so proud when she comes home and tells me the new words she has learned. At the school’s Spring Fling Bar-B-Que her class sang “Jesus Loves Me” in Japanese! In Japanese!!! She’s 5 years old! […]
I can’t believe it’s October 10th and this is only our first Halloween post. Eeeee gads! I’m behind! I need to get my behind in gear and Halloween it up. So, to kick off one of the greatest Holidays known to man…. here are our Sugar Wafer Monsters. If you haven’t checked out Sugar Swings! […]
Owls and Halloween. Who ever decided these two things go together? Well, if you google it (which, of course, we did) it goes way back. Like, way, way back. According to Haunted Bay, the Romans were one of the first cultures that viewed owls as spooky creatures. The owl symbolized death, doom, or destruction and […]
I pinned this recipe quite some time ago and put it into my “Fun Food Ideas” board. I mean, seriously, of course I was going to make it. They are adorable! And with the movie Turbo coming out, I figured it was the perfect time to surprise my kids. My son wants to see Turbo badly. […]
I haven’t done a single thing for the 4th of July =o( Where have I been??? We typically don’t do much for the 4th, though. It’s always been one of those holidays where I’m frustrated because of all the loud noises that keep waking my kids up! Does that make me grouchy? =o( But a […]

Are the crystals extremely fragile? How long do they last?
The crystals aren’t fragile at all. That’s the kind of scary part. What does it do to washing machines???!!! But they are hard and pretty durable!
My guess is they last forever unless they get wet. We hung ours in the window and they look so cool!
I love them too!! These are great instructions…
That is so cool. I have heard about these but you make it look so easy and fun. I gotta try this with my kids!!
So pretty!!! I bet they would make cute Christmas ornaments.
Who would have thought, you can do this. They are pretty….to think they come from Borax
What a great project to do with the kids! I would love for you to share it at my “Best of 2011” link party, along with any other posts you are most proud of from this year, at http://www.petalstopicots.com

What another great use for boric acid powder. You can also use it to clean your house, kill ants, and even yeast infections. Keep it around the house just like vinegar or bleach.
//adorable children btw
they remind me of rock candy, remember doing that? Now I can’t wait to visit my sister, my nieces and nephew are going to love doing this one with me! I’m always looking for something to entertain them while I’m their, art projects like this are alway a big hit! Thanks. Louella
I know this sounds like a dumb question but… what do you do with them once they are made? I think it would be cool to do with my students for Valentine’s Day but I am trying to think what to have them do with the hearts once they are finished. Would you make them into a necklace or something?
Not a dumb question at all. I don’t think I would make necklaces because you don’t want the Borax on your skin like that. We hung ours in the window on suction hooks for awhile. They were pretty cool in the sunlight.
