I found your site through boomama's christmas tour. I love all your craft ideas. We made your santa pancakes on Christmas Eve and they were such a hit. I would also love to know how you store all your craft supplies, that is a never ending battle at my house. Thanks so much for sharing all your wonderful ideas. I've added you as a favorite!
When we do glitter projects, we do them in a box and on a paper plate. The box contains the glitter (most of the time) and the paper plate is great because it folds for easy reuse of glitter.
