Carson's Birthday Goodies

Today my first born turns 8!! Friday the 13th, whoa! And of course I cannot just bring Hostess Cupcakes to school. Each of the kiddo's has to have a something special too. 34 kiddo's in his class.

I got these adorable mini clothes pins and put magnet on one side and decorated the other with patterned paper and the stars I cut from a Cricut cartridge. Cute, cute! And Carson picked out which colors he wanted me to use.

Then I just wrapped a Kit Kat, Carson's favorite candy. These were super easy and the kids are so fun when I bring goodies to their class. They all squeal and are so appreciative it's really nice.


Seems like yesterday I was holding this sweet little bundle. Oh he was the most gorgeous baby boy.


He's becoming such a big guy. And I am so proud of him. Carson is funny and thoughtful, he cares about others, he is a great big brother and I wouldn't trade him for anything!

I love you Carson. Thank you for making me a Mommy!

St. Patrick's Pots of Gold

I just wanted to share these very fun little 'Pots of Gold' I gave out to my boys' teachers and all my neighbors.

These are so sweet and lots of fun to make. I painted a 3" terra cotta pot with black craft paint and then did a 2nd coat with a metallic black to give it a bit of a shine. Don't you think the Leprechauns pots of gold have some shine to them? I think they must. ;)


Then I hot glued some random different green ribbons to the rim and added a button shamrock and a little tag that I created with The Print Shop.


Inside is some gold shredded paper filler and 3 gold hershey's nuggets and a chocolate gold coin. Are you aware that it is darn HARD to find those silly gold coin candies!!?? I went to 8 stores not to mention, the dozen that I looked at on line to find them! That is a little obsessed I know, but the pots HAD to have gold coins!! ;)


I wrapped them up in cellophane a tied them with a sweet Irish Blessing that I found online. My kiddo's had a lot of fun handing these out to their teachers and knocking on ALL the (18) neighbor's doors to wish them Happy St. Patrick's Day. That's the best part. It's so fun for me to make these little goodies and then it's so fun to surprise people and give them a little something that they totally didn't expect!


Thanks for checking in with me today and May God bless you and fill your home and heart with gladness and cheer! ;)

Oh ~ I'll be posting my April class soon so keep checking back!

Just Sharing a Cute Baby Shower Order I'm working on

These are gonna be so cute when their all done. This is for an Etsy customer of mine. And they want between 100-125. I'll probably be tired of them when I'm all done, but what a darling treat they will be at the shower! I love all these colors! This paper was my customers choice, it is from Echo Park their new Little Girl's line.


All these bright, fun colors. Love 'em! Definitely lots of stamping here. These will also be topped with some ribbon, a flower and tag.

Lions and Tigers and Bears...Oh My!

These are a fun little favor that I sell on my Etsy site. They hold two Hershey's Milk Chocolate Nuggets. Yum! And they make a big hit at Baby Showers! The paper for this set is My Mind's Eye, from their Alphabet Soup line. I just wanted to share them with ya because they turned out so cute!

Thanks again for the order April, hope you have an awesome Shower!
