Turn your kids’ drawings into figurines
I’ve seen no shortage of brilliant ideas for showcasing kids’ artwork not to mention ideas for turning kids art into gifts–which by the way are always a hit with anyone who receives them.
So when I saw these adorable figurines created from kids’ drawings, I immediately started mining our artwork storage boxes in preparation for Mother’s Day gift awesomeness.
Meet Crayon Creatures, a company based out of Barcelona, Spain that turns your kids’ drawings into adorable sandstone figurines. Once they receive your kids’ artwork, a 3D artist uses specialized technology to translate your little one’s 2D drawing into a sculpture. The result: a simply amazing keepsake.
Keep in mind, these are not toys, but rather lovely, fragile gifts. And while they’re definitely not cheap, they’re something that I’m certain will be treasured for many years to come.
The other challenge: picking the perfect piece from the piles of artwork and who the lucky recipient will be. -Kristen
You can order a personalized keepsake figurine at Crayon Creatures, where designs generally take around 3 weeks.

I never thought twice about diapering my son with the eco-not-so-conscious disposable diaper. I have to admit, I thought that cloth diapers were still big cotton towels that required safety pins, manual dexterity, and a whole lot of free time.
Don’t get any sick ideas, dear readers. We’ve all seen our share of those softies and we certainly don’t need a stuffed one of THOSE laying around the house. 
When my 3 year old was a newborn we planned a trip to Europe and before I could say auf viedersehn, my brain pictured all the filthy traveling potties we would encounter while changing her diaper.
