bonjour!

hello world!

and welcome to the first official blog post of runs with scissors.

i started this blog because i wanted a place where i could keep all the amazing tutorials that i am always finding and also be able to share them with all of you.

so far, there are over 200 tutorials that you can access. take a look around, and i promise you'll find something you just can't live without!

to kick off the site, i thought i'd feature a couple of my favorite tutorials. here we go...


i just about died when i saw this wreath. isn't it just beautiful? i couldn't believe my eyes when it said that it was made out of butcher paper. it pretty much sums up what i picture when i think of spring. its gorgeous!

mealtime with kids can be quite the messy experience. especially if they refuse to keep their bib on and keep pulling it off. i may or may not be referring to a certain child of mine! but problem solved with this tutorial. the bapron {bib/apron. get it?}, hooks under and over the arms so the little rascal can't take it off. genius i tell you, genus!
