Lisa Greaves Very cool. It took me forever to realize that the first stapled strips become the top of the first heart. Very clever.
Jodi Ryznar @Rosanna
Kristin Riding Thanks for the wonderful board Jenny - I'm going to be trying a bunch of these out with my daughter too. We made these awesome hearts tonight - what a fun little activity!

Sara Rylander You guys are weird. First thing I thought was HOOOOOOOOOOO!
Beth Delagrange-Helderman Nope. Thundercats here too.
Sara Rylander No one remembers the Lionel saying, "Thundercats--HOOOOOOOO!" Anyone? Gah.
Sarah Darby Sara, I got it! :)
Sara Mancini Definitely first thought was Lion-O, "ThunderCats, HO!"

Bridget McArthur At the end of every kids Bday I hosted, I had the kids play sit on the balloon game. They had a blast popping the balloons and then all we had to do was sweep up
Emily Kittelson @Bridget My mom had the sit on the balloon game at one of my birthday parties. I was the first one to play as I was the birthday girl. When it popped I screamed and ran crying to my bedroom. (But now I work at a booth for the Renaissance Festival where Balloons are popped all the time, sometimes while I am blowing them up, so at least I wasn't scarred for life)

Rachael H This is from a book called Stray Sock Sewing, which is definitely in English and explains all the stitches so someone who's never sewn a thing in their life could do it. And there are SO MANY OTHER sock creatures you can make, all equally adorable. I recommend the elephant.

Lizz Gunn My friend tried this... and it totally did not work. She documented it here: http://pintershit.blogspot....
Sarah Darby Lizz her blog is hilarious and I'm going to follow it. As for the actual pin? Use something that will bond the buttons together not stick them to a film. So, no white or puzzle glue.
Della Dreher According to commenter http://www.blogger.com/prof..., "My kids and I did this! Believe it or not we used Elmer's School Glue!! It dries clear. First we applied a VERY THIN layer to the balloon, stuck the buttons on the balloon, and allowed it to dry overnight. Then I took a sponge brush and applied an outer coat of glue to the buttons while still on the balloon. Allowed it to dry for 24 hours and then released the air from the balloon. Very fun to do with the kids :-) ENJOY!"
Lizz Gunn Oooh interesting, I'll show her that: @Heather Wiegraffe
Mandi Gregory-Thompson I am finding that a lot of pins are a bunch of bunk. I started a blog about trying out pins, and definitely have some fails.

Jill I made 10 or so of something like this for my 7yo's birthday party out of clothes hangers & old kids' tights. I cut off the legs to use for the wing-covers, then the extra part I sewed over the join to make it soft. Attached big elastic loops to put their arms through & ta-da! Fairy Wings!!!! (Then we used glitter paint to make them fancy.)

Erica Olivier nuh-UH!!!! Now I'm going to need to clear space in the garden for a whole horde of radishes! I'll bet these can be made into turtles, too...which I could throw at my husband to slow him down...and that is why gardening is great.
Elske You can also make something similar but bigger by cutting the top and bottom of a boiled and peeled egg, placing it on a plate in the midst of something green and then putting half a tomato on top of the egg that you put little dots of mayonese on. It won't have the awesome eyes but I'm sure you could make that happen.
Margot / Gocha Pity that my daughter does not like radishes...
Laura Dodd If you have this much time.....
pennies are also good in the garden for repelling slugs and making hydrangeas blue. who knew?

Joni BearNekkid I need to do this for my hydrangeas
Amy Berger Haha Ditto Keri!
Beth Scanlon so long as they're not 'rappelling slugs'. those guys are assholes.
Hannah Stern Put out paint can lids full of cheap beer... You'll kill all the slugs, AND the beer has good sugars for plants. Plus, now you don't have to glue pennies to a ball for hours.
Julie Woods Are those glued to a bowling ball? Cool. Some of my neighbors use bowling balls in their gardens so I should totally tell them about the pennies. Also, I live in a weird neighborhood.

Sarah Parsons Just printed them out. I think I'm going to glue them to notecards, so they're sturdier than printer paper. If I'd planned ahead, I could have bought card stock to print on. But, I don't plan ahead, lol.

Julie Elder Coffee filters are PERFECT for snowflakes! I first used them when I got a new coffee pot that used the cone kind and had 100 or so of the round left over. They're hard to rip and look great in the window...
Allison Dailey We did these this afternoon; awesome and inexpensive!
Danika Carter @ Your Organic Life Great idea. My daughter found paper too thick to cut through. This would work much better...and she won't take all my computer paper.
Ahh this is crazy! Trace the hand in pencil. With a marker, draw a straight line until you get to the hand. Then make a curve from one line to the next, then continue the straight line.

Chocolate Oatmeal No Bake Cookies

Sarah Thompson They're awesome, actually--and so easy, my 8yo was able to help me make them. I had regular oats (not quick-cooking), so they were a little on the chewy side, but still wonderful. Just like mom used to make!
Becky Matthews We call them doo-doo cookies...because, well, they look like doo-doo....but they taste so good!
Rixie Dotson My favorite name that I have heard for these is "goat drop cookies" The new "no bake" title just sounds so unadventurous.
Colleen Walsh this was my favorite christmas cookie. I suggest eating these while they are warm. They look like poo but taste like heaven!
Jenifer Purdy OMG, my grandmother used to make these! I haven't had them in decades!!! Thanks for pinning!

Fetching pins…
Sara Smith I know you wrap the hair around the chopstick, twist it clockwise so that it makes a tight knot, pull the chopstick out slightly and then stick it back through all the hair. I'm not sure what step 8 is.
Jennifer J Looks easy, but in practice, it's like "what?!" Cute look, though
Jenn Billings My hair is almost down to my butt and I wonder if its too long to do this...
LongLocks Boutique Okay, just tried this with one of my LongLocks sticks. In step 4, after she wraps the hair around the stick again she's rotating it clockwise about a quarter turn. In step 5 she then levers it up to the left top of her head. Then she takes the stick out AND tucks the remaining ponytail into the little tunnel created at the right, puts the stick in the tunnel after tucking the ponytail, pulls it down to 3 o'clock and pushes the hair stick through all the hair to hold it. My hair is hip length and I was able to do this easily. The trick is to wrap the hair around the stick more times if it is really long (and I would use two sticks to secure your long locks).
