Father's Day Gift Idea

Eighteen 25 had the CUTEST Father's Day Gift Idea.

It is simple enough the kids can make it.

So, what did I do?

Bought enough supplies for all Webelos Scout boys to pass of a requirement by making one for their Dad's - Perfect.

Nothing like a little craft time with a group of Cub Scouts.

I changed it up just a little bit from the original.  I used the free printable ties from Shindig Parties and the free template for the collar from Eighteen 25.

I live in a small town.  We are not lucky enough to have a Hobby Lobby.  I had to improvise on the jars.  I had PLENTY of quart sized mason jars.  Seemed to do the trick.

My boys had plenty of fun making these little guys for their Dad's.

Now I have my "Not Scout" kids wanting to make them too!

Happy Father's Day!

Birth Announcement - Subway Art

Last month our family welcomed a new baby.

Shaunna - If you are reading this  STOP NOW! 

Unless you want to see the little surprise I have for you!

I get the honor of having another niece!

 Don't you just LOVE babies?

I DO!

They smell delicious, soft skin, and they are just plain precious.

I saw something similar to this Subway Art and new I had to make one for our sweet new addition. 

(I just can't remember where...I really need to do better at keeping track of where I see all these amazing ideas.  People are brilliant and I owe credit to the person who created the original - cuz it wasn't me.)

Print it.  Frame it.  Gift it.

PERFECT.

Just like a brand new baby.

Father's Day

Ice Cream Soda

Cherry On Top

Who's Your Boyfriend?  I forgot!

Is it A, B, C, D, E, F, G......?

Do remember singing that jump rope song as a kid?

I completely forgot about it until my daughter was skipping rope on the back patio while singing it.

Of course, we had to make Ice Cream Soda Cherry on Top Cupcakes!

Ahhh....Memories.  Days of jump ropes and silly songs!

Chocolate cupcakes with cherry cola frosting.  Top it with sprinkles and a cherry and you have got yourself a cupcake sister!

Now, off you go.  Jump rope with your little girl today!



Goodbye School ... Hello Summer!

Hooray!  I am so excited the kids are FINALLY out for Summer Break!

I love living in Southern Utah, the kids are out of school before Memorial Day, the weather is fabulous and screams "HELLO SUMMER!  COME AND PLAY!"

This year my Little's (they really aren't little anymore - soon to be 4th and 2nd graders) wanted to take a little treat to their classmates.  A treat that said something like

GOODBYE SCHOOL
HELLO SUMMER!

  I remembered I had about 50 baby food jars!  Perfect for storing little treats.

Want to make some for your Little's?

Here is what you will need:

Recycled baby food jars

Ribbon and twine

Printable Labels - You can use mine if you want too!

Spray Paint

Mod Podge

M&M's or Skittles

Print labels and Mod Podge labels to clean jars.  Spray paint lids black.  Fill with M&M's or Skittles and tie with ribbon and twine!

HAPPY SUMMER!!!
