New Year's Eve

Do I dare say that my New Year's Resolution is keeping up on my blog this year?  LOL!  This isn't a bad start I guess.  This is what we did for New Year's.  We actually did this last year for the first time and the girls really loved it.  They were so excited to get presents!  Presents in their eyes, junk in mine.  I printed out a clock template on different colored paper and then taped it to a brown lunch bag.  Every hour starting at 6pm they got to open their bag.

We also did a fun little photo shoot.  I am addicted to photo props.  I got these from Thinking of You Designs.

 

Scarecrow Day

 My one daughter had dress like a scarecrow day at school today.  We were in charge of bringing a salty snack, so, I popped some popcorn and put them in brown lunch bags and tied them up with ribbon and this cute tag I made.  {I found the scarecrow image via Google and just printed them out in wallet size and taped them to orange cardstock.  I didn't want anything that said, Happy Fall Ya'll or anything like that-just a plain simple scarecrow.  He was cute!}

Back to school teacher's lunch

 I decorated the teacher's lounge for their back to school teacher's lunch.  It wasn't much, but, it turned out pretty cute.  These crayon tube holders were perfect for my centerpieces.  I found the party printables and the idea for the crayon tubes here.

 These cute little buses are made from Hershey Nuggets.  Just print and wrap around.  The teacher's loved these!  Printable found here.

Pinkalicious Giveaway

I just entered to win this cute Pinkalicious book and backpack over at She Scribes!

Olympics & More Olympics

After our Olympic rings craft, we decided to paint some t-shirts.  Got these 2 tank tops at WalMart-cheap.  We just used a plastic party cup and painted the rim of the cup and then pressed down onto the shirt.  I ended up tying some patriotic ribbon on the shoulders of their shirt.

Here is our banner finally finished.

Pay no attention to the hole by the #2.  Didn't realize the door handle would rip the paper.  Hence, the door stopper we have there.  

We took the easy way out and printed our gold medals.  Found here.

Flag coloring sheets found here.

Found a lot of the stuff we used here.

Olympic Bracelets

We also made some quick and easy bracelets from pipe cleaners.  Found the idea here.

Olympic Cupcakes

We made Olympic cupcakes last weekend.  I found the free printable here.
