The idea for a Bad-Girl Scout Jacket came after I started searching the internet for additional patches to finish my Good-Girl Scout Jacket.

I finished the Glitter Sugar Skull - Dollar Tree Hack post so late last night that the lighting in my studio wasn’t adequate to take these photos. I wanted to provide these detailed photos for those of you who want a little inspiration. There are endless ideas on the internet too, and many of them are free to print. Just Google Sugar Skulls and click on Images. A menu will appear below Images. Click on “printable.” You can print out designs and practice squeezing the glitter glue onto them if you want to practice a little first.
The video below is the third in a series of Dollar Tree Halloween hacks. It shows how to make Day of the Dead Sugar Skulls out of Dollar Tree glitter Halloween skulls. It is a fun project for kids, and all the supplies necessary for it are from Dollar Tree.

This project started with a pattern book, More Altair Design by Ensor Holiday, which I’ve been coloring in since junior high school.
I’ve always credited my creativity to both of my parents, but my mother’s influence over the years has been constant, copious and this project is typical of the kinds of things she made when I was a kid. I found these drawings in a box in her basement.
This is a birthday gift idea that everyone may not appreciate, but the more I age, the more I try to find humor in the aging process. Here’s one of my attempts at poking fun at the exercise of aging. And yes, I did mean exercise! Aging isn’t easy, and it entails more work with each passing year.
This lunch box includes some helpful items for that special friend or family member who’s starting down the other side of the bell curve.
