WIBD - What I Been Doing

Okay, everyone likes to tag each other on Instagram with #WIDN - What I Doing Now. Well, right now, I'm letting you know about some Free Fun for the whole family! It's been a fun first two weeks of June being a part of the Hawaii State Libray System's Summer Reading Program! This year's theme is Heroes, Everyday Heroes and Super Heroes!

Our HouseMart Ben Franklin Crafts and Ace Hardware stores are visiting libraries across the state, on all islands, including Molokai and Lanai this year! We're bringing our HouseMart Superhero Academy where keiki of all ages can learn some Hardware Science and do a little crafting, too! Check here to see our  library schedule.

So, what's it like? Take a look!

 

Lots of keiki and parents excited to try their hand at Hardware Science experiments

 

Test your reflexes! Are you as fast as The Flash!?

 

Learn about Inertia with this cup challenge!

 

 

Put on a cape and fly like Superman for a fun photo!

 

Make a Super Bear Bookmark you can use for your Summer Reading Program!

So, get out of the Bat Cave and join us for some Super Fun at the Libraries!

Hope to see you there!

 

 

 

 

July's Joy of Crafting Show

For July, we have some favorite guests returning to the show with new craft ideas! Come and check it out!

Our first guest is Kimberly McCausland from Hero Arts rubber stamps. Actually, Kimberly has been on the show before when she worked with Stampendous rubber stamps. We're so Happy to have her back on the show!

 

Kimberly introduces Hero Arts'  new line called "Stamp Your Story" (I love this collection!) The designs are so on trend right now and they're great for Project Life! She also uses another hot trend, Neon inks! The colors are just so perfect for Summer projects.

Next, we have Dean Anthony Ramos, who always amazes me with his crafting ideas. This time, he is playing with Perler Beads, remember those? Well, it's making a comeback and is another hot trend with these updated fun designs!

Last, but not least, are our Sizzix girls, Cheryl and Cheri! I just love this project they are sharing, it's another cool pop-up card!

I can just see using this chair design for so many occasions! And I just love the embossing folder that goes with it, so cute!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you can find the time to watch the show and get some crafty ideas! Hope you're having a FUN Summer!
