Spokey Spider

Well as promised here is our Spider project that the kids & I did this morning!  We call him 3 eyed Spidey!:)  The most challenging thing was trying to figure how we were going to hang him after he was all made!

Fall Family Sign

Happy Fall Ya'll,

Fall has officially arrived in our neck of the woods & what a better way to get your kids involved with making a family craft than going on a walk & collecting different color leaves, twigs, rocks or acorns in your very own neighborhood.  You will get some exercise & spend quality time together as a family!

My kids & I made our sign last week & it didn't cost us a thing!  I love those kinds of crafts, don't you?  We hung ours around our mail box, but will have to take it down when the weather gets wet or windy; however on a day like today when the sun is shining & there is not a cloud in the sky it is perfect.  We have already had several neighbors walking their dogs stop and ask us how we made it & tell us how much they love it!:)

Football Wreath

We are huge football fans, but we especially love the San Francisco 49ers!  I thought my husband would love to have a little something more manly hanging on our front door & boy was I right!

CJK Crafts

Welcome to my craft site!  I hope you enjoy what you find here.  I have been doing crafts since I was a little girl.  I grew up in a fabric store the first several years of my life as my Grandparents owned a Stretch & Sew store & my Mom worked there & taught sewing lessons.  My Mom & Grandma have always been very crafty & growing up I always was a part of their projects.  I guess it was just a matter of time before I started doing my own things on the side.  I decided to take my passion of making crafts to the internet because I have gotten so many people ask me how much I would charge to make them something I have made.  If you see anything you like on here, please let me know.

I love spending time with my family & doing crafts with my kids!  The holidays are very important to us & we love decorating our house, so each year we try & come up with a new decoration to add to our collection! 

I will be constantly adding things that I sell on here & even free ideas that you can do with your own family!

God Bless & Happy Crafting!
