Recently, a very dear friend became a grandmother for the first time. How delightful! Bubs and the new parents have been showered with gifts but I thought it would be nice to give the new grandma a small gift too so I whipped up a pair of fridge magnets that she can use to proudly display some of her favourite photos of bubs where she'll see them all the time. But this is a project that would also be great for kids to get involved in too. It can be a way of helping on older sibling adjust to having a new baby in the house. Or they can make a set for their grandparents who will love such a thoughtful, handmade gift. With close supervision, even young, school-aged children can make these! For this project, I've used bottle caps, Magic-Glos UV resin , alphabet beads and 100s and 1000s . I've also tried this project using Alumi-UV as well as the inexpensive Chinese UV resins and they were successful too. The last 2 photos in the post are using those UV resins. How to Make UV......

Today's post is short and sweet! Here's a little bit of candy (or should I say, resin candy) for your Halloween enjoyment. In Australia we call these "100s and 1000s" and one of our favourite ways of serving them is to sprinkle them on buttered white bread which we then call Fairy Bread. Cut it into triangles, serve at children's birthday parties and watch it disappear... yumm. What a lovely sweet treat! Happy Halloween to all my northern hemisphere friends! 'Til next time.....
