Circus ticket booth OR...

My mom found this at JCP and couldn't resist buying it for my daughter's Circus party. It finally arrived today and we put it togther. It is soooo cute! We will be using it as the ticket/prize booth. But, it has also become a lemonade stand, a flower stand and a fruit/vegetable stand too. The black bottom you can write on with chalk and then wipe it off.

Last day of school

Here are the necklaces that we made for O's teachers for the last day of school. There were sooo many cute ideas out there in blogland, I wasn't sure which one I wanted to do. (I can never make up my mind!) Then, I came across this and thought how cute and different. I've never made jewelry in my life, so I was a little hesitant if I could do this and I hoped that they turned out alright. Unfortunately, I didn't have any supplies for this project, so, I had to buy everything.

All in all, I think they turned out pretty great! I even wore it for a bit to see how it looked. NICE! The picture above, I bought a premade necklace, the one below is from suede that I cut myself and clipped on the jewelry attachments to.

I put them on a tag made from my Cricut machine and strung them through the hole and then we were able to write our note on there. Then we just popped them into a clear party favor bag and tied with ribbon.

P.S. Sorry my pictures aren't the best-my camera and photography skills are not the greatest.

Get outside and hike

June 5th is National Trails Day. You can go to americanhiking.org to find local events in your area. Also, if you head over to REI, you can print off a FREE Kids' Adventure Journal. (beware, it is 26 pages long)
I'm hoping to get to an event this Sat. in our area, if not, we will do our own hiking tomorrow. Safe travels.

Shopping list

Here is a great website that you can print FREE grocery lists. (different ones to chose from) It's nice that you don't have to write down everything and you can just check it off. Plus, it may help you remember if you forget something or if you send your husband shopping! wink, wink Enjoy!
