May

Flowers... sunshine... ah, May! For centuries children have celebrated the first of May by dancing around a tall wooden Maypole covered with greenery and ribbons. Mother's Day--the second Sunday of May--grew out of a peace movement started by mothers after the Civil War. The fourth Monday of the month is officially Memorial Day, when we remember those who died in the service of our country. There are so many ways to celebrate this last full month of spring. Looking for some creative ideas? You've come to the right place!

That is a Good Idea!

If you want to poke holes in a can to make a luminary or another craft, fill the can with water and freeze it first. This makes pounding a nail into the can much easier.
