Turn it Up Tuesday!

Welcome to week #64 of Turn It Up Tuesdays!
It is very cold tonight in NYC. I think I may really start to consider warmer climate for older years lol. We are back for another what I am sure will be a great week.
How fun did those Toilet Paper Tube crafts look below? I think I will be using that idea for my arts & crafts night at shelter I volunteer at on Thursday nights.
I am sure the little ones will love it!
Thanks for dropping by let the fun begin...
