Heidi & Tiffany's Halloween Hangers
Crafting Memories
Chenille Coat Hanger

If you watched this week's episode of Cool2Craft TV, you know that one of Heidi and Tiffany's Halloween memories is about crafting dozens and dozens of these Chenille Coat Hangers to give out at Halloween. Momma Aleene taught them that at Halloween it wasn't all about just getting but also about giving so she taught the girls how to make these hangers to give out to the houses where they trick-or-treated! Yeah, we know, it's a rather different tradition but it certainly made a big and lasting impression on the Creativity Sisters!

Crafty Chica Coloring for a Cause
Making a Difference by Tiffany Windsor
Crafty Chica Coloring for a Cause - Tennis Shoes
As many of you know, I had the opportunity to attend the recent Michaels Leadership Conference in Texas where I had a fabulous time sharing the new Aleene's adhesives with the Michaels store managers.

My cool creative friend Crafty Chica Kathy Cano-Murillo was also at this event where she shared her new Crafty Chica products.

At this event, Kathy filled her cool shrine with over 50 pairs of sneakers.

She outlined all the sneakers with the coolest floral and squiggle designs in the weeks leading up and then she colored them all during the event.

In the end, the shoes went to Las Comadres Para las Americas who took them to a local Dallas school for girls to finish coloring and to wear them!
