Oh, I do so wish I knew what I am doing! I really need to take a class, you know, computers-for-dummies; cyberspace made easy; how to find things online. I have spent my free time the last few days trying to find craft ideas for my pre-teen granddaughters. I have seen some really neat stuff for my 5 year old grandson, which I am sure he will love. But my ten-going-on-eleven girlies are harder to suit. They are very artistic and love beads and various crafty ideas. The thing is, I used to have fantastic kits sent to them from Annie's Attic, in Texas. And I had to stop, for financial reasons. And they miss them.
So I thought it would be great if I could get some ideas online, round up the materials myself, and make kits for them. This is proving much harder than I expected. Probably because I don't know where to look. Which brings me back to my almost boundless ignorance of my old second-hand computer and how it works, and how to navigate the vast expanse of cyberspace.
I have found really neat stuff at and through the Crafty Crow for younger ones, like Bub. And I have stumbled on the Oriental Trading Post where you can order stuff, for a dozen kids. But I only have two girls to buy for! Well, enough whining for now. Back to the drawing board! Suck it up, Grammy - and take a class!

Hi Grammy, You left a comment on my page. I always check out everyone's blog who leaves me a comment. I thought you might want to check out some of my easter crafts I recently posted. They might be good for older girls. I am thinking of the Favor Cups. Also the spring lanterns might be fun. I have several nieces you grand daughters age so I try to provide some crafts for older girls. Hope this helps.
