Hello, Melissa! I love your blog, the directions you’ve found are fantastic. We’ve had fun with several of the crafts you’ve found. I wanted to mention that I recently wrote up directions on making a wire gemstone tree. If you like it, please include it on your blog. Thanks! http://www.doliferight.com/blog/2007/11/18/wire-gemstone-bonsai-trees/
BTW, we’ve had so much fun with the “glove monsters”. 🙂

Also, BTW, I live in Sahuarita, AZ, with my husband and two daughters.
