Discuss Arts and Crafts! Painting, sculpture, pottery, craft kits, plans, and ideas! Talk about projects that children can do as well.

I'm curious to learn how you can tell when the thread was begun and then when the replies were posted? Obviously, this one was active around the holidays. At the bottom of each persons post, on the left side, it has a date and time....but alas! It's the current date and time at that person's home. Is that correct? I'm just wondering how to tell how old the thread is?

Chickadee my new friend, look at the green bar at the top of each post. You should see a date and time on the left hand side as to when the post was originally made.

The above link goes to a recipe I posted here earlier this month. I direct you to it because it is a really easy cooking project for kids to help with.

Okay you guys! Thanks for not laughing at me! I've just found where the date and time of each post is indicated. I'm just a newbie! I'll catch up soon.

Around the header of the kitchen, above the cabinets, my wife and I used aluminum flashing cut into rectangles. We mounted them on small 1x2 slats and strung "rope" LED lighting behind them (It has a lifespan of over a decade) Then we used a dril to drill out pictures made of small holes. Windmills, moons, suns, cactuses, mountains, etc. The final project is illuminated from behind and is one long montage of scenery. As you walk by, the little LED lights twinkle through the holes.
