Woven Summer Bracelets
My strongest memories of summer camp involve bracelets.

How-To: Make Macarons
Jessica from Childerhouse perfected the French art of making macarons and shows you how with great photos along the way. These macarons can make great holiday treats or gifts!Jessica writes:Macarons have a sort of wonder reserved for them, a certain high favor that is not usually bestowed upon cookies.
