CD Space Ship Craft is something Charlie and I will make.

With us redoing Charlies room we had been looking for something neat and unusual to hang from the Ceiling and when browsing online we found a site called "About Com" which you can find at http://www.about.com  While on it we found a Craft called "CD Sace Ship" and it will help with 2 problems we was facing which was sprucing up a boring ceiling and finding a night light that would allow Charlie to feel like a grown up but not make him feel like a baby.

Since About.com showed us exactly how to make the CD Space Craft and we had quite a few old CD's lying around I told Charlie he could invite some of his friends over and we would have a "Back to School Party" and make them for there rooms. Charlie was so excited he wanted to run out and tell everyone right then. But I begged him to wait till we could make some snacks and get the tables ready to make them on. Boy was waiting killing him? Yes, it was!! LOL!

So today Charlie, David and I  wanted to share with you the link for the CD Space Ship Craft with you so you and your friends and family can check out the CD Space Ship Craft as well as the other Crafts listed on this site.  http://familycrafts.about.com/od/cdcrafts/a/cdspaceship.htm  As there might be some you or your friends and family would like to do together. As a "Craft Night" is a great way to bring families together.



What do you think of the CD Space Ship Craft? Is this something you would make? If not or why not? If so why?

Did you notice that most of the items used in this Craft is things you would already have in your home? Such as the left over Easter Eggs no one ever knows what to do with? Or at least I do not. LOL

Glee Make Your Own Chocolate Kit www.gleegum.com

Did you know that there is company called Glee you can see it at http://www.gleegum.com and it offers "Make Your Own Chocolate kits as well as make your own Chewing Gum kits. Plus they also have a "Make Your Own Gummies". The Gunmmy one is the one that Charlie and David want to try out and so I am thinking I will purchase it for David to go into his stocking for Christmas. I also think I would purchase the gum kit for my sister and myself as we both love out gum and I think it would be fun to make our own gum. When I contacted the company and asked them if they would allow me to host a review and a giveaway for them they said I would be able to chose which kit I could try and so I let them chose what to send and they sent the chocolate one. I was so glad they did as I love anything that has to do with chocolate. So does Charlie. Once it arrived I sat down to open the box as I wanted to see how hard it would be to make it as it says for 8 and above. With either mine or Davids help though Charlie can do it. We just would let him stir the candy and we would make sure to always be next to him. So I had David and Charlie sit down and I pulled up the site and we went over what came in the kit which is the following items: Inside each Make Your Own Chocolate Kits you'll find: organic cocoa butter, cocoa powder, confectioner's sugar, starter crystals, a temperature indicator, paper candy liners, instructions, and the story of chocolate. All you have to do is melt the cocoa butter, add the cocoa powder and sugar. Stir, stir, stir until it cools to the right temperature; add the starter crystals so that the chocolate "tempers," and enjoy delicious home-made chocolate from scratch! By the way, you also get some cacao beans - we thought you might like to taste a few. Each Chocolate Kit makes 8 oz. of dark chocolate! Then we opened the box together and we went into the kitchen and we started to make the chocolate. I think we had more fun making it than we did eating it. It makes 8 ounces of Dark Chocolate which made Charlie so happy as he loves Dark Chocolate. I wish they had Milk Chocolate. I like knowing that they have the story of chocolate as it helps me teach children and so I can use the kits in school. Since I live in a apartment and there is a Boys and Girls Club here and the kit tells us how to use these in a classroom I am going to take to the lady over the class and see if she would purchase these for the children to make to give them to there parents in school. Story The Legend Of Chocolate Chocolate comes from cacao beans which were originally found only in Central and South America. Cacao was so special to the ancient Aztecs that they told this legend: Their god, Quetzalcoatl, brought the cacao tree from Paradise to earth, traveling on a beam of the Morning Star. He gave the tree as an offering to the people, and they learned how to roast and grind its beans into a paste. They added spices and mixed it with water calling it "xocolatl" or "bitterwater". They believed that it brought wisdom and knowledge to those who drank it. Today, cacao is an important part of agriculture in the tropics all around the world. The legend of chocolate lives on! The nice thing was in the box they sent me was a bunch of samples of the Gum that they carry and I was so excited to try them out as there was so many different flavors. Glee Gum Tangerine This is one that I allowed my friend Allegria to try as she likes Tangerine and she enjoyed it and said she would buy it again. With there being two pieces of gum David also tried it and he enjoyed it as well. Glee Lemon Lime Sugar Free knowing that this one was sugar free is nice as it is something I would not mind Charlie having as he likes to chew gum. I let him try it thinking he would not like it and that it would be sour but he says it is not and that he would like to get it again. Glee Gum Peppermint is one that I let David and I try together. The flavor is good. It is not over powering. Peppermint is not one of my favorite flavors but it is something that I might try again. I even let Charlie taste it and he liked it alot. This reminded me of the Chiclets I used to get at the bank when I was a child and went with my parents. re-fresh Mint was one I let David and Charlie have and they both enjoyed it a lot. They said that they would not mind buying it again. I can tell you I would not mind Charlie having it again as it is also sugar free. Spearment everyone knew this one was mine as it is my favorite flavor of gum and mints. I was nice and I did let David and Charlie try it and they both enjoyed it as much as I did. I can tell you that I am so happy to know I can buy these at Whole Foods as I am going to go and get me some to keep in my desk. Cinnamon this is one I wanted to try as I like Big red Gum and I wondered if it would taste like it. To me and David it tasted better than Bog Red Gum and it is something I would purchase for my dad and my nephew as they both would enjoy it. It would be something that I would put in there stockings. The last one we tried was the Bubble Gum Flavor and it reminded me of the bubble gum I would buy as a child and I really enjoyed it. I think my son and I would like to buy it again. I also think that David would like to have it again as well. If you have not tried all these wonderful gums from Glee Gum Please check them out at http://www.GleeGum.com and let me know which flavors you would like to try. Glenda
