So I need a idea of a cute crafy project I can create as a reminder of all my freinds. Theres about 20 of us and Im very very very sad to be moving over 3 hours away.

I have to share my craft space when I move home. My sisters (10,11) need a bigger playspace so were gonna share my section of basement (which neighbors theirs). I trust my girls not to mess with my things but they have a nice little freind who I dont trust. So far I have a kitchen table, a locking footlocker, and a futon (which I WILL NOT give up) and a smallish rug (basement floors are cold). I bead, I sew, I scrapbook and paint. Any advice on how to keep my suplies safe from little hands?

So I have this hidious blue rug that I painted squares on. So Im planning on spray painting the whole thing black. Now heres my question, what could I use to trace a dead body style chalk mark picture on the rug that won't stain my dear dead body's (love ya ma) clothes?

My walls are white (I hate renting). My favorite chair is black, my bed is red cherry. Now the question is should I repaint the dresser? Its black with turquiose drawer fronts.

  I should log in more. I miss this swap every time! will there be a winter one?

As you can tell the bedroom is small. In its current layout there's about a foot between the end of the bed and the dresser. The problem is I have no idea what to move where!  I know I do love the simple art above my bed and would like to keep it in the room somewere. The closet is empty excpet for my other dresser (I have a big wardrobe).

The living room:
I hate the way my living room is laid out. The problem is that I only have 3 walls since the dining room is attached to the kitchen. I also hate the half black tv stand, but paint comes comes right off (its coated particle board). Im up to any ideas you may have. I would love to have this chair    somewere where I can hang my flute rack above.

OMG emily!!! I just bought my first loom and started with bead weaving. I would love to meet up with anyone from here, Im in need of some new freinds.  my old ones are to buzy for me

What would you put in a sewing kit for a 9 year old? What kind of kit would you make for a 10 year old girl lego lover, whos a real tomboy?

I have a fugly flowered couch with lots of stains (used to belong to a lady with 4 kids) and the best advice i have for you is to buy a sheet. I bought a nice cheap burgndy fitted sheet and covered the seat area. It made a huge differance and gave my room a huge pop of color. I would say go with a sand color since it will make the couch pop without making the seat part a huge focal point.

Im trying to take 5 white build a bear sized tees and make them say:
Macknac Island  (on the front) and  2010 (on the back). I dont want to do iron on transfers, they dont ever turn out for me. Im not sure what method would be best for what im trying to do. What do you reccomend (on a budget)?
