Homemaking Tip--Arts Cow

When uploading these photos, they lost clarity, so you'll have to trust me that the products were clear and looked good. Pal is wearing his pocket watch that has a picture of him in his Union hat on the face of it.

http://www.artscow.com/ That’s it. That’s today’s tip. My goodness, I have enjoyed this user-friendly site and their products. I’ve ordered a deck of cards for Calvin, Ray, and Abe, two watches (a pocket watch and a money clip watch), a purse mirror for Ande, and make-up bags for Cali, Grace and Ande. I’ve been pleased with each item. Not all of the items are necessarily a high quality, but they are relatively inexpensive and commensurate with the price. It’s the novelty that makes them such a fun gift.

Arts Cow has a special going on cards right now and I plan to take advantage of it by making a few card-deck scrapbooks. I’ll upload the pictures and order the card decks. After they come in the mail, I’ll punch a hole in the corner of the personalized decks, attach a d-ring, and embellish the ring with ribbon and fiber. (I did a few mini-cookbooks this way and liked them.) I’m planning to make a few more Old Maid decks too, but this time I will add pictures of ancestors as well as living family members.

I have only ordered one photo book from Arts Cow. I was moderately pleased with it, and for the price will do more, but I’ve been really happy with the other items.
