A couple of weeks ago, we had my daughter's 8th birthday party. She waffled between several themes and I could tell she wasn't in love with either. So I suggested she let me pick a theme and surprise her. Well, was she ever surprised! I chose a Shake It Up birthday party theme, which I knew she would love. (If you don't know, Shake It Up is a show that airs on Disney's Family channel, about two girls who are backup dancers on a dance show.) She is obsessed with the show - and ...

Handprint Canada Day Flag Shirts
Last year, I saw a few people with these handprint Canada Day flag t-shirts and I knew I had to make some for my girls this year.

Winter Wreath from Bubbled Burlap and Snowy Pinecones
Are you ready to see how I created this awesome winter wreath? As you have probably noticed by now, the schedule is a little off lately here on The Simply Crafted Life. My husband has been away on a training course and has been gone since October, so things are starting to get tiring. Also, the craft time gets pretty limited when you have to do everything else that comes with running a house and raising kids by yourself, plus your outside commitments. Not that I'm complaining, rather just ... Read More about Winter Wreath from Bubbled Burlap and Snowy Pinecones
