Free colored pencil swatching charts and a review of Prang colored pencils from the Dollar Tree. #printable #free
The best way to test any set of colors is to swatch them. I have two swatch charts you can download for free. The first one is for a set of 72 colors, however, it will work for sets smaller than that number as well. I used it to swatch and test the set of 36 Prang colored pencils from the Dollar Tree.
The second chart is more detailed and tests for layering, blending, and color mixing.

The video below shows swatching of the Prang colored pencils and thoughts on how they preform.

Now that most everything is in bloom, you need to be aware of what plants and flowers can be dangerous. This chart is a visual reference to those flowers that grow in the wild and are poisonous.
The free PDF printable is a great piece to have on hand. Print it out, even laminate it and keep it with your camping materials as a reference. Consider printing it out and placing it inside a bathroom cabinet door for reference. And if you have an RV, this makes a great chart to have on hand.
Familiarize yourself with the look of the flowers and introduce them to your family and let them know of the dangers of these lovely but sometimes deadly flowers.

How to make a Father’s Day card with a ribbon tie. #cardmaking #affiliate #GwenStudios
with Gwen Studios
This is such a fun card for Father’s Day using Gwen Studios’ satin ribbon for a tie. You can stylize the tie or leave it a solid color. Having the kids do the decorating will make this project just that much more special. Add a sentiment or handwrite a special greeting.
The links provided are for your use and may contain affiliate links. They cost nothing for you to use. Thank you in advance for supporting this site with its use.
Gwen Studios’ satin ribbon makes the focal point of the card with the tie being made with the ribbon.
Materials used for making this Father’s Day card are simple. Colored cardstock for the card, white cardstock for the shirt, satin ribbon, ink pens to decorate the ribbon, scissors, tape runner, and adhesive.
Once the tie is stylized, there are only three parts to making the card; the card base, the shirt, and the tie.

Grab the free crochet patterns for the Wash and Scrub Crochet Set. @wecrochetofficial #crochet
I am sharing printable PDF files on how to make these Wash and Scrub Sets. While shown here in the bath, they can also work for cleaning in the kitchen making them very versatile and usable.
I am using Dishie Worsted Weight Yarn from Knit Picks. This is a 100% cotton yarn with a tight spin and high absorbency.
This project is a part of the Spring Into Summer Blog Hop where you can get a free PDF pattern each day for 33 different patterns.
If you’d rather purchase the entire set of patterns, they are available for 90% off the price of purchasing them each separately. The entire set is available for $15.99. Here is my affiliate link for you to use. [purchase bundle]
The first pattern is for these circular scrubbies. They are double sided but you can opt to only make them single-sided if you don’t want them to be as thick.
I love these for washing my face and removing make-up.

The next pattern in the set is a nubby cloth. These can be made with or without the border.
This is one of my favorite patterns to make. It is a pattern I often make while traveling as a passenger on road trips.
