Cub Scouts Birdhouse Project at Our Half Moon Bay Location
We hosted a troop of Cub Scouts last Monday for a great project on making and painting birdhouses. The boys got a great hardware lesson in the different types of woodworking nails and tools and we had a lot of fun helping them learn and play!
Thank you, Troop 263!

Easy Photo Editing Site And Free Vintage Graphics

For all you crafting fans out there, who love design, drawing and graphic manipulation - IN THEORY - but would rather be outside frolicking in the daisies than inside in front of the computer trying to figure out the intricacies of Photoshop, I have the answer to your prayers - okay, only the ones that involve easy photo editing via a replacement to Picnik and gorgeous, free, vintage graphics.
It all started with Pinterest (many fun ideas seem to these days) where I came across these little crustacean, cephalopod and fishy lovelies posted on NestOfPosies-blog.com. They looked so fresh and cute on that light blue wall I had to know more. Turns out I learned two wonderful bits of information while reading about how to make these guys. First of all, for those of you who remember Picnik before it was bought by Google, you will be thrilled to learn that there's another free site just like it called Ribbit. Oh yeah!
On top of that little life-saving (or probably more like time saving) tidbit, I learned about GraphicsFairy.Blogspot.com where apparently you can download all manner of gorgeous vintage graphics that you can then drop into Ribbit and transform into your own wall decorations or wherever else you might want to use old-fashioned drawings, say, for instance, everywhere.
