  6. Hi there. I’m a blogger/mommy of a 3 year old self-professed princess and 5 year old (very humble) boy/obsessed party planner. I have a shop on Etsy where I sell digital printables and printed party supplies…everything from water bottle labels and invitations to lottery/scratcher tickets. I began my shop on Etsy about a year ago when my crazy stay-at-home mommy friends began to inundate me with requests for their parties. It occurred to me that I may be able to support my habit by offering my creations to others. I have a second website at http://www.sonkissedcreations.net, however, I’m still in the process of adding my products.

    My babies and surfer hubby keep me quite busy so I found it easier to stick with digital products, however, I have been trying my hand at other craft projects. I’m currently working on a Cinderella party for the little diva and a Monopoly themed party for my bubba (PJ), which I’m suuuuper excited about!

    I love Pinterest, Etsy, cross-stitching, writing poetry, and long walks on the beach at sunset. I’m a huge fan of the San Diego Chargers, though they continue to break my heart on an annual basis. I spend quality time updating my demon-possessed cat’s Facebook page on a regular basis and I’m actually convinced he leads a more exciting social life than I do. He’s had a total of 6 names in his short life, but we currently refer to him as P.Kitty, which he chose himself when he opted for a new image.

    I’m just a girl with a hobby (or ten) trying to eek out a living and stay home with my little darlings as long as possible.

    My best quality, you ask? My sarcasm and quick wit. I love to think and speak out-of-the-box. Check out my personal blog…www.frvrchanged.blogspot.com. I’ve been published in 2 books (Chicken Soup for the Soul, New Moms edition and Cup of Comfort for Mothers). My writings are mostly faith-based, but I intend to begin posting about my party obsession in the near future and I can be quite funny after a glass or two of vino! THIS would be a faaaabulous opportunity. Thanks for your consideration.

Snow Globe Crafts for Kids

Whether you have snow where you live or are on the wrong side of the world for that, these snow glob crafts for kids are a lot of fun to put together at home or in the classroom.

If you want to keep it super basic, you can download some snow globe coloring pages from Monday Mandala and have kids drawn in their own images (or color in what is there for the ones that are already filled). This could be a fun way to play with different media, having kids paint in one, draw in another, or use crayons in one, colored pencils in another, etc.

Or you can add your kid (or a classroom full of kids) to snowglobes with this craft from Twitchetts. It’s easy to make and fun for kids to help with, too.

You can also make snow globes with paper plates pretty easily, and there are lots of different options out there that should give you some ideas. This one from In the Playroom uses blue glittery pompoms as the snow and has a snowman in the background (though you can use whatever you want).

Mas and Pas uses a clear plate on top of a regular plate to make its snow globe, and Daydream into Reality just uses a paper plate to make the snow globe shape but there’s no snow involved. Their template includes different images you can put in the snow globe, or draw your own.

If you want to make a snow globe without the watery (so potentially less mess) you can make a waterless snow globe out of a plastic cup with this tutorial from The Pragmatic Parent. It uses tiny foam balls as the snow. Tidy Mom’s version uses a real glass jar and fake snow to flurry around.

And if you’re OK with using liquids in your snow globe, which will allow the snow to flutter like in a real snow globe, check out this version from 123 Homeschool 4 Me, which uses water and baby oil.
