July 4th 2013

I decorated these Trader Joe's lollipops for a 4th of July party that we went to at the Macfarlan's. 

Fun and festive!  Happy 4th of July!

Money Jars

Another Pinterest idea...money jars.  I thought this was a great way to help Emi understand about "saving" and "spending" money.   Emi and I made these together, they were really quick to put together {grab some old jars, scrapbook paper, and baker's twine or ribbon.}  I need to make a set for Kenzi next!

Father's Day photo project

Made this photo project for the most amazing Daddy for my two girls.  {Of course, another project inspired by Pinterest} We love you so much!  Happy Father's Day!!!

Chip board books

I made these for my friend Janet.  I'm pleased with the way these turned out!

The one for "Jake" is for a high school graduate, the "best wishes" book is for a western themed wedding.

End of the school year treats

Barely got to this project put together...thanks for Emi {almost 5 year old} she pulled through as always to help me finish up these goodie bags for her friends.  We put a few laffy taffy's in each cellophane bag and tied it off with orange baker's twine.

Calendar central

I collected frames in hopes to have a wall like this for quite some time...I was inspired by a "command center" that I saw on Pinterest.  I hung up the frames a few months ago {even though I had not filled all the frames} ... then I finally got around to completing the top frame with family pictures and quotes.  

I also found bucket list template so perfect to go in this spot!  

Teacher Appreciation Gifts

Teacher Appreciation gifts...so simple and easy!

Sharpies and a drink jar...thank you Children's Garden teachers and staff!
