Taco Spheres, anyone?
Hi everyone! Guest Polly Dalis here to report that kids do actually learn when they go out on a field trip to a Children's Museum. My daughter went to the local Children's Museum this week and was excited to give me and daddy a class on how to make 3D objects. I immediately thought this would be a cool thing to post here for you gals to do with your little ones. It is such an easy project and you could even print them of some cool pattern papers and make them into ornaments. That would be a cool idea! I grabbed my phone and snapped this picture (so sorry for the quality).I now present you Miss Bianca teaching her first ever class in how to create 3D objects. (She was super excited to be making a tutorial). NOTE: If you fall in love as hard as I did with these cool arrows they are from BYOC JAN 2009 - Which Way Arrows by Jacque. … [Read more...]

Can You Feel the Love?
Big hellos to you on this Tuesday from a guest Polly; Anne of Alamo! It is no secret I am quite happy with the-Lily Pad. There is an atmosphere to the Pad, that is beyond all to me. I admit to being one who pops around the digiworld, you can find me here and there and everywhere, but the Pad has become a place I know the people, both those that have been here from the beginning, and those that have just joined. It is home.What makes the-Lily Pad different? Sit, and relax and let me show you.Last week, I had my world rocked in a very personal way, I posted a thread in the forum, more angry and frustrated than anything, and so many people responded, my heart was lifted like no other. It made me think about the precious people that frequent the-Lily Pad and to dive a bit deeper into some of the threads. One of the Polly's, renee82 posted a need for her precious pup. … [Read more...]
Workspaces
Starting next month we will be having regular blog posts featuring the workspaces of the lilypad designers! I am really excited to see where so much creativity takes place. I have a copy of one issue of Where Women Create, and look through it regularly. I really enjoy seeing the personality and creativity of these women matched to the way they express themselves in their workspaces. Whether your workspace is a small table with your computer on it or a full scrap room, here are a few tips on getting and keeping your space functional, organized and pretty.POSITION I know many of us don’t have a lot of choice as to where to position our workspaces. Ideally it should be somewhere without distraction, with good lighting and temperature. I personally do not like the idea of an office in the bedroom, as I think the bedroom should be a peaceful haven.DECLUTTER An honest evaluation of what … [Read more...]
