Candyland Party

Still getting the hang of my new camera, sorry for the dark pics. This party entailed lots and lots of cardboard. Cut up cardboards to make the figurines and all the Candyland steps, got the kids involved in the painting, think it turned out pretty good.

Happy Birthday banner

My youngest is turning 5! He decided all on his own he wants a Candyland party,since that is his favorite game. So we (kids & I) have been busy making many things for this odd party since you can't go and pick up Candyland decorations. So more photos to come, but in the meantime here is a Happy Birthday banner that I saw here
I used scrapbook paper and grosgrain ribbon, think I'll reuse it for all my kids parties ;)

Flowers

Slowly trying to decorate my home with my break in school. Picked up this square vase at HomeGoods for $5, flowers on sale for $4, not bad for a quick fix.

Lil' projects

I have been itching to get a few odd end projects done around the house, what do you think? I think it really makes it stand out now.

New shoes

So I found these Rocketdog shoes for a steal at $12! Then I took them over to click here and WOW! What a difference absolutely love'em.

Valentine's gift

Love Valentine's day it's so much fun! This year I brought a 6pk of Grape Crush bottles attached with balloons and tag saying "I've got a CRUSH on you" along with a box of his favorite See's chocolates to his work. Thanks Hillary for the Crush idea, and thanks Anna for the Cute card idea...gotta love Valentine's day!

Piano bag

I'd been wanting to make my daughter a piano bag since she started taking lessons. I found this one click here and was inspired. When I finished she asked me to make one for her scriptures. I couldn't find cute hand towels that were used in the example, so I just went to JoAnne's and bought decorator fabric because it was stronger. So excited with how they turned out!
