Easter Morning Table Setting

My mom painted these cute cups for us years ago and my kids have enjoyed using them. I found the idea for the carrots years ago, but thought it'd be fun to do again this year. Pair these up with some paper bunny plates I got:

I'm pretty sure my kids will be excited!

P.S. Mom...I don't think 3 cups is enough anymore :) hint, hint :)

Easter Pillowcase

I found this cute fabric at Hancock Fabrics and hurried to make this year's new Easter pillowcase.... At least they can enjoy it for a few days...I can't believe how fast Easter snuck up on me! I've got to get my other Easter projects done!!!

Outlet Covers for the Boys' Room

John was awesome and put in tamper outlets in the boys' room. I had fun making the cover plates using modge podge and fabric to match their room!

Lucky Lunchbox Day 3

It's St. Patrick's Day!!

Today's little treat was a bowl of Lucky Charms...my kids got Lucky Charms for breakfast today, too. Kyla loved that it had RAINBOWs! She sure loves rainbows! Anyway...it was way simple, but here was John's Lucky Lunchbox item (he often eats his breakfast on his first break, so cereal totally works for his lunchbox!)

Lucky Lunchbox Day 2

For John's Lunchbox today:


"Tis better far at the rainbows end, to find not gold, but YOU as my husband!"

Attatched to a bowl of rainbow jello.

Lucky Lunchbox Day 1

I found some cute St. Patrick's Day treat ideas on It's all in My Head...so this will be a fun week to leave some treats in my husband's lunch again :)

So....day 1:

"If I had a Pot of Gold, I'd want to share it with you. I couldn't find one anywhere, so I hope that this will do!"

Perfect since I came across these PB twix the other day...which is John's absolute favorite candybar...and it can be very hard to find!!!

Crowning a Prince....

You had to know this was coming after yesterday's post, right?

They both love to dress up, so I got some cute pictures of them playing together.

Did I mention how hard it is to take a picture of this active kid sometimes???

Crowning a Princess...

I've been meaning to make these for the kids...they LOVE dress-up! I finally got going on it and found them to be so simple! I got the pattern and directions on Balancing Everything.

I used felt that I had....and let Kyla pick the colors and trim, so of course it had to be pink, purple, and green!

She loves it!!

Little bracelet

Kyla will tell you these are her favorite colors, so when I saw the beads with some silver sparkly stars, I immediately thought of her and had to make her this bracelet...She Loves it! It only cost 85 cents to make but I got a huge smile and hug!!

Another Watchband

We had another fun girls' night...so I got another watch band made:

She has one...

so he had to have one, too! Nathan's been wanting Kyla's scriptures every Sunday, so we ordered his own B of M and got it covered this week. He was SO excited, he watched me make it and then wouldn't let go for me to take a picture :) I'm glad he's excited.

I love how simple these are to make, but I really love that my kids want to use and look at them!

St. Patrick's Day Pillowcase

My kids love when we rotate holiday decor...it's like opening a treasure box for them, but one thing they really love is getting out the holiday pillowcases. So, we've been needing to add another pillowcase this year....
I found this fabric at Hancock Fabrics...I love all the dots!

No pockets, No problem...

There are times when I don't have pockets to hold my keys and I'm often balancing kids and stuff...so I knew this would be handy for me. It can loop around my wrist if needed or it can just make it easy to find my keys in a diaper bag.... It was super easy to make using this tutorial from The Idea Room.

Birthday Gift Card

The other night I thought of an idea for a birthday gift and the card to go with it:

The front of the card: (It is a 3-fold card) Open it and tuck in a bag of popcorn and a gift if you choose: This one gets some movie rental money, (I still need to add that) but it you know of someone who likes the to go out....throw in some tickets to a movie or you can attatch this card to a DVD they would like....

Then it has a little piece of sticky velcro to help hold it together.

Well...I had fun making it anyway...

Birthday Cards

I'm finally getting some Birthday Cards done to put in my card organizer....
