She's so much fun! I need to be sure the house is stocked with plenty of things to keep her creative juices flowing. I love that Rachel is willing to grab the art supplies and just go for it.

You are very creative. I like to do some crafts, but not the sort that makes a lot of mess...all that painting, cutting, pasting stuff. I will do hand crafts, sewing, x-stitch, knitting, that sort of thing. I think I might try your idea on the kids! They would love it. Great job, Rachel! You are very creative.

Say, Rachel, why don't we do some glass etching on those? :) Rachel is cursed with not one, but two uncrafty parents. A couple of Christmases ago, I hit upon the happy idea of "saving money through home-made gifts". As it turns out, the idea that one could save money this way is is a common delusion that has rocketed sales at Michael's and Ben Franklin stores through the roof. Anyway, we bought the stencils and the acid paste that supposedly can be used to etch designs onto glass, only to discover that either our glass was especially impermeable or our acid too weak. We did manage to put a smeary blur on one glass, but the two bottles we chose (shown above filled with sand) were unmarked by our efforts. I'm glad to see Rachel was able to find another use for them -- way to go, Rachel! Hey, I recognize those glass bottles! Say, Rachel, why don’t we do some glass etching on those? :)
