Spider Slime

I don't like creepy crawlies especially spiders. I do however, don't mind the fake spiders like the ones in this Spider Slime. In all seriousness, I am TERRIFIED of spiders. I don't care how big or small, spiders are not my friend. In fact, even the smallest spider in the house would freak me out so much that I'd call my husband and ask him to come home from work on his lunch just to kill it. Yup, my fear of spiders is that bad. Thankfully, my brain can see the difference between real spiders and the fake spiders used in this craft because otherwise, I'd be DOOMED.

For the majority of us, work is an occasionally awesome but mostly unfortunate fact of life that we just have to deal with. Why would you want to sit at a desk when you could be sipping Mai Tais on a beach somewhere?

Home Decor You Will Forget To Make

It can be really hard to make the most of your summer when it's super hot outside and no one feels like leaving the comfort of the A/C.
