Hi, I'm Rudy! I'm a young mom of three beautiful kids, two girls and one boy. Our life is busy and full of crafts, especially for our American Girl Dolls. We love working together to create new things and we hope you enjoy our creations also!
This is Launa Loofers. She is crazy all the time and is an amazing gymnast. In fact, we started this blog on her ideas for her dolls to be gymnasts just like her! 
This is my handsome little man. He is the only boy in this house full of girls and dolls. He is a good sport though. He loves his 'boy American Girl dolls' and his action figures. And is always right in the mix of craft time creations!
Lexie is full of fun and always has a smile on her face. She is the youngest, but don't let that fool you, she has a BIG opinion!
So why the Lightweight Spackle? I don’t see anything on how to use it? Also the shopping list and cut list don’t add up?
The shopping list and cut list do add up. It might make more since when you are at the store looking at the wood to buy. Lightweight spackle is used to cover up the nail holes before you sand and paint. This is optional of course, you can just let the tiny holes show.
Hi can you show how to make food for them , cheers much appreciated
Can you make a video on a how to make a no glue or wood Balance beam.
So you want me to make a balance beam without using wood or glue? If that’s what you want, I can make that!
