I found some shrink plastic at the dollar store the other day and with pins being fairly popular now it’s seemed like a fun way to create. I kept my designs pretty basic, but a good artist could have a lot of fun with this. Even kids can make designs, as long as parents handle the baking…
A Simple Sleep Mask
I’m always looking for quick sewing projects, especially when I need a break from something larger or more complex. I thought a sleep mask would be fun, fast and useful. The nice thing about this process, you can add your own take and although i used a Cricut and Sewing Machine, you can easily use…
Tsuro The Game of the Path
This is a 2 to 8 player game for ages 8 and up. It takes very little time to learn, basically you are just following a path and hoping that it doesn’t lead you off the board. I really like the look of this game, it has a very nice design and a classic feel….
My Attempt at Tie Dye
Spring has sprung and it was once again time to go on a camp out with my girl guide unit. We had kids aging from 7 to 12 so it’s a pretty good range. Looking back to when I was 10, I remember tie dying tshirts in my parks program and thought it would be…
Blurble
Ages 8 and up, 4 to 8 players, however I have played this with more. Let’s start with how to play, the “blurbler” places the stack between themselves and the player to their left. When the two players are ready a card is flipped over, the first person to say a word that starts with…
Oh Fudge!
There is nothing I love more on vacations than running into a good chocolate shop and I am a sucker for the fudge section. Once I discovered I could make my own fudge, life changed for the better. However, it’s pretty rich so I don’t make it all the time, but it’s a great option…

Citadels is a game where players take on different roles each round to help them acquire gold and create districts. Depending on the number of players, once a player has seven or eight districts, that becomes the final round and everyone tallies up their points at the end. The player with the highest score wins. Theres…
Loops and Threads Yarn – Easy Scarf
Spring has sprung and its probably a bad time to start talking about winter wear. However, I can’t resist a good deal and this wool was on sale from $8CAD to $3.97CAD. Time to get prepared for next year. Loops yarn is advertised as easy to work with, no tools are needed. Now I may…
Exploding Kittens
Exploding Kittens is a fairly popular card game. I understand the appeal, the art is adorable and the cards are funny. It’s a great game to pull out for non gamers, it quick, it’s simple and it’s light. It’s definitely not going to be the bulk of a games night. That is something to keep…
