If you're looking for something fun to do on Mother's Day, the Lake Superior Zoo is the place to be.

It's that time of year again! Get out the glue guns and paintbrushes and reserve your booth at the local craft fair! Here's a list of essentials for anyone looking to get crafty this fall.

On Saturday, December 8 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., over 28 vendors will be set up with their holiday gifts, creations, and so much more at the Lake Superior Zoo.

Handmade items and direct vendors sales are all in one place this weekend.

Our next crafting project was chosen because of the upcoming Independence Day holiday.  Technically, it's DIY Lanterns and we are using solar powered tops, but you can also put a battery operated tealight in it or if you don't put the top on you could use a candle.  If you use red, white and blue glitter like we did, it's perfect for the upcoming 4th of July holiday.  Make it a family crafting pro

After visiting a few friend's homes I realized how bare my Christmas tree really is.  There are a few red Christmas balls from my childhood, a few handmade reindeer ornaments that my daughter and I made,  a few snowflakes that my Aunt crocheted and the shell casing Santas in the picture above.  I was feeling like I needed to put more things on the tree until my husband pointed out that everything

We were at our friend's Dave & Kathy's near Barnum for a day of baking cookies and a little crafting.  I had gotten the materials to make cute little reindeer out of wine corks for our craft project.  We found that the grapevine sticks used for the antlers and legs of the reindeer were hard to get into the cork, so we pre-made holes to make it easier for the video.  I wasn't paying attention a

My daughter saw these cute little holiday tree ornaments on Facebook and asked if we could do crafts this past weekend.  I expected to dedicate my entire Sunday to crafting but these little cuties only took a couple hours to make and were super easy.  If you are in looking for craft ideas for a group setting, these would work like a charm.

My daughter has spent almost every 4th of July at the family's lake property with ALL her cousins and dad's family making memories and enjoying picnics, parades and fireworks.  They would often do a group art project that would allow them to make something they could wear to the parade.  This year you could do a whole ensemble with two DIY ideas!  It's easy, fun and you and your friends can match

I was digging around for some cool rustic gift ideas today when I stumbled across this YouTube video.  It's the Property Brothers Drew & Scott, and they have a great idea for making an easy rustic side table.  Check it out!

We're on the heels of another fantastic St. Jude Radiothon, together we raised $74, 246 for the kids and research at St. Jude.  The Douglas County Association for Home and Community Education (HCE) are also helping kids, but in a different way.  They need sewing materials for quilts donated and if you are a quilter, YOU can make the difference.

My craft room looks like total chaos and one reason is that it's hard to get rid of anything, ANYTHING!  But, as I continue to do craft projects, I keep accumulating crafting supplies that I didn't use.  The Duluth Public Library had a great idea and turned it into an event that we can all benefit from.
