Last month we built with pinatas with balloons and newspaper by following these directions.

This is the first time I've made a pinata and it's been a fun process.
I gave no guidance on how to decorate the pinatas so that they could have some fun creative playtime. I was impressed with their enthusiasm and creativity.On my friend Bethany's blog today she shared a fantastic new online magazine called Inspired Ideas. You can follow the link to the Inspired Ideas blog and then click on the photo of the magazine cover to open the magazine.

This magazine is filled with beautiful ideas. A few of my favorites are the printable Christmas Tags on page 64, the Yo-yo Christmas Tree on page 141 and the Cookie Cutter Jewelry on page 157. I'm sure you'll find a lot of other great ideas.
Plus the magazine has several adds from interesting ads from handmade crafters and etsy shops that I want to check out.
