Here is a fun activity to do with your kids for this Valentine's Day.  Take some old unused crayons, in all different colors, and cut them up into small pieces. Using a silicone cupcake/muffin pan, fill with the cut up crayons and then place in the oven.  Bake at 230 degrees for about 15 minutes.  After they have cooled down, just pop them out of the pan.  You can use this idea to create adorable Valentine gifts for your children's friends or just to please your own special little Valentines.  You can use other silicone shapes to create fun new crayons for your children's active minds.  Happy Valentine Day!

I found this great idea from '2 little hooligans'.  This is a wonderful and unique storage idea for your wrapping papers and supplies.  It's clever by taking an old wooden bar, painting it, then adding casters to the seat and turning it upside down. Very easy directions are included to make different size bags that you can tie to the stool.  They can be used for storing tape, gift bags, roles of ribbon or scissors.  The neat thing about this idea is that the middle, between the legs of the stool, can be used to stand up the wrapping paper.
