This past weekend, Mr. O and I had some fun making Valentine’s for his class party today. This year he wanted to pass out Sour Punch Straws. We added a pencil from the Target Dollar Spot and a cute Valentine sling shot guy we found at Michael’s to mix it up a bit. 😉 I’ve […]

A couple of weeks ago we had family baby shower for one of my sisters-in-law. She’s expecting her first boy and I thought it would be nice for the girls to get together, go out for dinner, and leave the kids at home! Even though it wasn’t a big family and friends shower, I still […]

We had some excitement a couple of weeks ago when Mr. O finally lost his first tooth! It was then followed by tooth number two a few days later. He was very excited to finally have some teeth come out. Being one month shy of his ninth birthday, he’s been waiting a long time! The […]

I’ve been taking such a long break from exclusively paper crafting that when the holiday parties for my boys come along I really enjoy creating their treat bags for them to pass out. Which is a good thing since I need to make 55 of them and I usually wait until the last minute. >_< […]

Sorry about the rotten pictures. It was late, I had just finished making 54 of them and still had to pack for an early flight to spend a few days in D.C. (more on that later). 🙂 This year, because of year-round school, I needed to get the Halloween treats for the boys to pass […]

It’s been a long time since I’ve picked up my paper crafting supplies to make something cute and fun. A couple of Saturdays ago I hosted a baby shower for one of my Sisters-in-Law (I have seven). It was a good “excuse” to break out my scallop scissors and dust off my paper trimmer. Seriously, […]

You know it’s been a while since you’ve stamped when you make 40 Valentine treat bags and have to force yourself to make it simpler than what you originally envisioned. LOL! It’s been quite a week for us over here. With me going to Jury Duty all day on Monday and coming home to the […]

Okay! Back to share the little details on this faux coffee bag! This was created for the PTI challenge yesterday to decorate a little bag. As I was reading thru the challenge post, she mentioned coffee bags and immediately I was wishing I had some. I love how they close simply by rolling the top […]

It’s the 20th, which means another DD/DDA Challenge! This month Sharon was the hostess and she came up with a lovely challenge! It just had to include a heart! She’s so nice, she didn’t even give us a restriction! Challenge Focus: create a hostess thank you card or gift, Thanksgiving card, treat holder, table favor […]
