I have to admit, I am more then a little excited to share this new website with everyone. That is because Chic Crafts is owned by my 7 year old daughter:) A few months ago, during out mom/daughter craft time, she asked me if she could sell her cards on my website and I agreed.

Chic Crafts was born just this month - and Ariel now has a place of her own:) She is so excited - and I am so proud. All of the cards you will find on the site are items she has made either on her own, or with my assistance. Yes, Ariel does get to keep all the money she earns. She is saving for a special trip she is taking with her aunty in 4 years - to Paris!! So, part of her earnings goes into her savings, and part of it is hers to spend:)

I watch my share of children’s programs on television. One thing that I know, my kids must have Blendy Pens.ÂÂ

They get so excited when they see the commercial. I get excited too, because it it not real expensive, and I also know that they are basically markers. My girls love markers.

I have 3 girls of my own, and they are always wanting to do crafts. The fun thing about crafts as Christmas presents, is that they get the original gift of the kit, and then everytime they make a craft from the kit, it is like getting a whole new gift! Not only that…but, the fun of doing the craft and showing it off!ÂÂ

The great thing about finding products to spotlight, is that I also get to do my Christmas shopping as well. I am not one to spend thousands of dollars on Christmas presents for my kids. My kids actually tend to like the cheap stuff better than the more expensive things.ÂÂ

A great gift idea ~ that is what is on everybody’s mind right now. We are getting toy catalogs in the mail almost daily…not to mention, all of the commercials on TV for toys. What are you going to get? Where are you going to get it? How much is it going to cost? Will they like what I get them? The questions go on and on. I have a question for you…does the kid you are shopping for love to do crafts? If the answer is yes…then I have your problem solved. At KraftyKid.com, you can signup your child to become a member of one of the Fun Craft of the Month Clubs!ÂÂ

There are several to choose from, and each month, your child will receive their projects in the mail. Each month, when your child receives their package in the mail, they will be so excited to open it up and start their new crafts. Find out more about the different packages by visiting KraftyKid.com.
