About: Peg Rounds lives in East Moline, Illinois with her husband and best friend, Kevin and their son Josh and 2 dogs. She was an elementary school teacher turned stay at home mom, and later a home school mom. Over the years, she designed cakes on the side and went to school to become a certified chocolatier. She always has loved to craft since she was young and it was something that she wanted to be doing, but set it aside due to her busy life. After 15 years of doing cakes she decided it was time to stop and focus more on her family. She began doing layouts, then cards and it went from there. Before she knew it, next to spending time with her family, she spent every free moment creating something and blogging about it. One thing led to another and here she is today!See Authors Posts (203)

During the winter, my skin and lips are both so dry. I hate having to take off my gloves to dig around in my purse (drying out my hand more) to find my chapstick. The easy to make key chain allows me to easily and quickly find my chapstick saving both my skin and my lips. Make your own and never have to find your chapstick again…unless you lose your keys.

If you have a creative child around, there are many great craft supplies to keep them busy, and keep you worry-free. Keep the right supplies on hand, and crafting with your kid can be fun and help you build memories that can last well into their lives.
Even for adults, sewing can seem a little daunting. The needle, the precision, it can be a little surprising to think that kids can actually learn to do it. I think it’s great to start getting kids used to a needle and thread at a young age so everything that goes into making that perfect stitch can be a habit once they get older. Messy stitches aren’t nearly as big a deal to a child!
Child Embroidery
Get kids used to a needle with an easy needlework project. Let them create their own shapes however they choose. Once they get used to the needle, help them move on to specific kinds of stitches.

Send a hello to someone or say happy birthday with this layered die cut card. Use the negative space to add a whole new dimension to this or any card by simply adding a sheet of patterned paper in behind it. Make it pop more by layering die cut pieces over the top to give it the look that says, “Wow!”
