Organizing Kids’ Craft Supplies

A budget friendly solution for storing and organizing your kids craft supplies when they grow beyond crayons and coloring books. If you asked my girls what their favorite thing to do was, they would immediately answer “to draw and do crafts”. These girls of mine seemed to have inherited their momma & daddy’s creativity. They could easily sit at the kitchen table all day and draw or make crafts….and I have binders, boxes and …

Our Craft Station – Organizing Ideas for Kids Crafts

Organizing kids crafts can be easy when you have the right storage pieces and ideas. Our new craft station is functional AND fun! Our Kids Craft Station (and my obsessive need to be organized) Since my girls were wee babes, I envisioned days filled with pipe cleaners, beads and a glue gun. I pictured us sitting around a table in our full crafting glory with our trusty juice boxes and wine glasses at our side. However it’s often ‘out of sight, out of mind’ when it comes to kids and their toys and because our crafts were stashed (albeit neatly) in the closet of our spare bedroom, it took some poking and prodding away from their ‘regular toys’ to unearth the old craft stash. So I decided to take drastic measures. While the chickadees were at school I went through their toys and packed away the ones that hadn’t been touched in eons (I’m finding they keep their fave toys in their bedroom closets now). I was AMAZED at the space I opened up and knew that the time had come for some serious craftin’. Now I tend to go a little batshit crazy when things aren’t organized and tidy (a weee bit OCD) so I knew that

12 Watt Portable Solar USB Mobile Cell Phone Charger

What a clever idea!          The “Pocket Panel” is a 13 Watt Portable Solar USB Charging Panel designed to Rapid Charge power hungry cell phones and other USB devices that can be charged via their USB port. This panel is rated to produce up to 2.6 Amps of power @ 5v via the standard USB charging output port and this allows rapid solar phone recharging in bright sunny conditions and this also allows quicker recharging in partly sunny conditions. Today’s new smart phones, iPhone, Android, Droid smart cell phones demand larger batteries and much more power per day compared to phones from just a year ago and this means it takes a lot more power to rapidly recharge your new smart phone. If you want to solar charge your cell phone or iPhone then you need a portable solar charger that is capable of producing enough power to rapidly recharge your phone in good sunny conditions and this is where most solar cellphone chargers fail and fall short since they are under sized and simply do not produce enough power to quickly recharge your USB devices.  The panel we have made here is using the highest efficiency solar cells on the market, the same type Mono Crystalline solar cells that are used in the popular glass solar panels you see on the top of large buildings and homes all over the world. The solar cells are 24% efficient at turning sunlight into electricity vs. the other folding solar panels that use ThinFilm solar cells that are only 8-9% efficient at turning sunlight into electricity. The higher the efficiency of the solar cell the less surface area it takes to generate 1w of power. Since we are using 24% efficient Sunpower solar cells our portable solar usb cell phone chargers are as small as you can currently make them.  Mono Crystalline Solar cells also provide another benefit over Thin Film solar cells which is a much longer life span when it comes to producing the power its rated to produce. Mono Crystalline solar cells are usually rated to produce 85% of their rated output power over a 25 Year time frame which is something you will not see thin film solar cell manufacturers claiming. Bottom line is that our portable solar USB charging panels will keep producing close to their rated 12 watt power output rating for up to 25 years if properly taken care of.  Our goal is to offer a high quality portable solar usb cell phone battery charger to the world to recharge all their USB electronics free from sunlight every day and offer this extremely useful product for a price that is lower than anything else that is currently on the market so more people can enjoy the benefits of constantly recharging their devices anywhere and anytime there is sunlight outside. Below are some reasons we really love our portable solar usb charging panel.  You can recharge the following batteries with these additional adapters: Charge AA & AAA batteries with this Smart USB charger – Amazon Link Charge CR123A batteries with this Smart USB charger – XTAR MP2 – Ebay Link Charge 3.7v Camera Batteries with Smart USB charger – Video – Amazon Link Charge 2 USB Devices at the same time with this Y adapter – Amazon Link We have tried all of the USB Solar Phone Chargers on the market and this one is our favorite because: It is small enough to fit into your pocket. Many of the solar USB chargers are much larger. New USB Ports maxes out at 2 amps. This panel can produce up to 2+ amps = FAST RECHARGING. The panel is lightweight, soft and flexible. Other options are large, hard, heavy, and bulky. This solar USB panel has a standard USB output port into which you can plug your devices. No Special Adapters to lose. It works correctly. From our testing, some of the more advanced units simply do not work correctly. It is weather resistant. From our testing, to leave the panel out in the rain is fine. It is extremely portable and lightweight. Pocket Sized Solar Charger. It is a universal USB charger – charges cell phones, MP3 players, GPS, PDA, and batteries via USB. It is highly efficient, and it exhibits the highest power-to-weight and power-to-surface area ratio in the industry. It is using 24% Efficient Mono Crystalline Sunpower Solar Cells instead of 8-9% Efficient ThinFilm Solar cells Mono Crystalline Solar Cells Produce Their Rated Power Output Many Years Longer Than ThinFilm Solar cells. Unique Advantages Of This USB Solar Mobile Phone Charger In Peak Sunlight the Panel will Produce Enough Power to Charge + Actively USE Most of Your Devices It Will Recharge Most of the following cellphones & smartphones – Android, Blackberry, Droid, HTC, Iphone 3g, 4g It Can Also Recharge Gaming Devices Like the Nintendo DS , Nintendo 3DS, ect….. It Can Also Recharge MP3 Players Like the Microsoft Zune, Apple Ipod Touch, Ipod Nano, Sony Walkman, Sandisk It Can Also Recharge a lot of GPS Navigation Units & GPS Location Devices It Can Solar Recharge Any Device That Can Be Recharged Via USB Power It Can Recharge Android Tablets & Apple Ipad’s that can be recharged via USB but not as fast as the AC wall charger. No Internal Battery to Go Bad or Replace. This also keeps the size and weight down on this panel setup. Other units that use 2 AA Batteries to store power provide very little power and charge very slowly, Tried it, didn’t like it. Other units that have internal batteries usually only provide 1/2 the advertised rated capacity since they forget to tell you that you lose almost half the stored battery power when you convert the 3.7v battery power to USB’s 5V power. Beware. Some Other Solar USB Chargers use special output connections other than regular USB outlets which forces you to carry a bag of special cords or connector tips that once lost or misplaced makes the whole unit worthless until you find the lost part or contact the manufacturer for their special one of a kind cord to make it work again. Far From Ideal. Small enough to fit into your pocket, and, most importantly, it actually works 12w Portable Solar USB Phone Charger Specs Regulated output: 13W – 5V – 2.6A Folded size: 7 x 4.75 x 1.75 Inches Unfolded size: 18.25 x 14 x 1.8th Inches Weight: 1 Pound If you have any questions please click the “Questions” button on the left side of this page and let us know how we can help you and we will get back with you ASAP.   

Kids bookshelf | Book storage bin | Book shelf | Rustic nursery decor | Wood toy box | Personalized bookcase

Sturdy, sold wood book storage bin for your baby’s nursery, kids playroom or bedroom. Styled after the children’s book bins often found in public libraries, this hand crafted, solid wood storage bin is a practical and convenient way to house your child’s favorite books. If you’ve ever watched your toddler pull out every book on the shelf in search of a particular title, then you will appreciate the functionality of this bookshelf. Books are stored face out at the perfect height for easy browsing, as well as easy clean-up later on! Hand crafted, solid, wood construction– no MDF or particleboard here. I build each one of these book bins to be as strong, durable and long-lasting as the shelves in my little used bookstore here in Stillwater, Minnesota. Please note that since every order is custom made, there are natural variations in knots and grain of the wood and so each piece is unique and will vary slightly from the photo shown. Each piece is handmade to order. Turnaround is about 3-4 weeks from the time that you order until it is ready to ship (depending on how busy the shop is and how many orders are ahead of yours). If you need it by a specific date, please message me first to make sure that I can fulfill your order in your time frame. This bookshelf ships complete and does not require any assembly. SIZE Measurements are approximately 35.5″ long, 12″ high, 11.5″ deep. The usable depth is about 9.75 inches, with three compartments that can hold up to 90-100 books. If you want a different size, please feel free to message me for a quote. LETTERING & PERSONALIZATION: Please select an option from the drop-down menu. If the piece is going to include lettering, please include your preferred text in the “Notes” section when checking out. For example- “ONCE UPON A TIME” or “IMAGINE” or “EMMA’S BOOKS”. I typically use one of two fonts– Classic cap typeface (the larger letters with serifs) or the narrower sans serif brushstroke. If your shelf is going to have images in addition to lettering, the narrower font leaves more room on each end to paint flowers, mountains, etc. IMAGES In addition to the lettering, I can paint just about anything on your bookshelf! Such as– Flowers, cactus, unicorn, rainbow, mountains, arrows, bears, bows, mermaid, animals, and so on. If your selection includes an image, please tell me what you’d like in the “Notes” section when checking out. Feel free to reference one of the photos shown. I can personalize your shelf however you like! If you have an idea for a custom design, send me a message and let me know what you have in mind. I love trying new things and can paint just about anything on your shelf, for a piece that is truly unique. Prices may vary for more complicated designs. COLORS: Lettering and images can be in any color you like! Please reference the color samples and let me know your selection in the “Notes” section when checking out. *If you do not specify a color selection, I will paint the lettering in Antique White.* In the photo of the paint samples, the following colors are shown against a Dark Carbon Gray stain: 1.
