Christmas Amaryllis a Fun and Easy Craft and Kit This will make your spo...

Christmas Amaryllis a Fun and Easy Craft and Kit This will make your spouse really love you!


Even for the green thumb challenged, this amaryllis kit will produce colorful and large blooms within a few weeks. You will enjoy their beauty for several weeks.

Planting A Majestic Amaryllis

I will be planting an amaryllis bulb that should bloom into a large and majestic flower in 6 to 12 weeks, depending on your region. It can be produced from October until the end of April though it has been a family tradition for several years to grow an amaryllis in the hopes that it will bloom in the New Year. The vibrant color adds cheerfulness after the holiday season is over.
The Amaryllis is believed to be the finest indoor flower. It should be in direct sunlight for at least 6 to 8 hours daily. Much like a sunflower, the bud then gravitates toward the sun.
Test the soil daily for moistness and water accordingly. Finally, the bulb is planted with the neck at or a little bit above the bottom of the pot.
We will be following the growth of the Amaryllis in future videos. I am looking forward to seeing the festive flower bloom.

Making your own Mod Podge…this is a SECRET so keep it to yourself

Crafting Hack – Make your own Mag Podge. Easy to do

Mod Podge is a handy crafting supply. However, it is surprisingly easy to make if you don't have any. You will need regular glue, such as Elmer's. Water. 1 c. Measuring cup. Something to mix the Mod Podge in. I will use a small mixing bowl. Something to store the Mod Podge in. I will use a mason jar. Something to stir the mixture. I use a popsicle stick. The ratio of glue to Water is 2 to 1. so I measure 1 Cup Of glue, pour it into the bowl, and then measure and add 1/2 c. of Water. I reuse the 1 c measuring cup and eyeball the half. Mix it up and pour it into the storage container. Make sure there is a secure lid. Soak your supplies in Water. Isn't that easy? Thank you for joining Lucy and me today. Hope to see you next time

Fall Decorative Ball – Easy to do and makes a lovely fall decoration. Fu...


This is an easy craft can do. It is a Fun and very inexpensive project.


To make a decorative sphere of leaves, you need a 4" Styrofoam ball from either Dollar Tree or Wal-Mart and fall-colored leaves—-I purchased mine at Dollar Tree for $1.25, and some glue. A glue gun works best. You will want to alternate the color of the leaves. You can place the glue on the back of the leaf or the ball. Be careful not to burn your fingers. I have a pencil designated to press down on glued items. A popsicle stick also works well. You don't always need fancy supplies. Work with what you have. Overlap the leaves, so you don't see the Styrofoam. I liked having some of my leaves sticking up. This is your project, and you may glue them down if you prefer. This is a lovely project that is very much in style.





Making Decorative Pens With Fall Leaves is a must-do and easy to do. Fun and festive. YOU CAN DO THIS!

Easy to do and a fun craft. You can add these pens to your desk and bring them in the fall. Everyone will enjoy these pends and will ask you how you made them. 

It would help if you had a few items, some floral tape, fall-colored leaves, pens, and A glue gun. I purchased these inexpensively at Dollar Tree. 

Wrap the pen in floral tape. Start at the bottom and work to the top. It's sticky, so you don't need any glue. Select your leaf, glue it to the top of the pen, and give it a few seconds to adhere. If you make several with different colored leaves, you will have a valuable and decorative project. (P3)
