Remember
these fun holiday bulbs? Some of you may even still decorate with them! I decided to give them a fab makeover!</div>

Unscrew the bulbs, and coat each one with some Elmers glue. Sprinkle glitter all over & tap to remove excess.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanksgiving
is right around the corner & I need some projects to keep my
little one busy while we're visiting family. Paper placemats &
this pilgrim hat filled with crayons is sure to do the trick! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What you'll need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Black cups</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Black paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Scrapbook paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hot glue gun</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Simply
cut the bottom out of a black cup (I only had white cups so I sprayed
mine with chalkboard paint). Hot glue the cup upside-down to a circle
shaped piece of black paper. Cut a band for around the cup & add
a scrapbook paper square for the buckle. Simple!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrzXDVVEtkP4S-9TGnbABgHokbWefUOTnjQhUgao5ZexjP-P7Y4BQ061iYsW6i7V8nMgQceFzU8SD8bK15MeAklnYUSo0T6_ageRN0bpHFUG3y3r4mdk2L_qpH_DK1pLs8B5aMXWvrA50/s320/DSC_1260.JPG" height="284" width="320" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These would also be adorable at each place setting to hold disposable silverware setting or fill them with candy treats! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Thanksgiving!<br />

I love playing games with my daughter. Our latest obsession is tic tac toe. It's great because we can challenge one another to a game virtually anywhere!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When it came time to make Halloween treats for her class (which must be sugar-free) I thought a mini tic tact toe set for each child would be perfect!</div>

Hope you had an amazing summer! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't believe a new school year is here! Isn't it crazy?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My little gal was nervous returning to school so we decided to make some treats for the staff.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I designed these fun tags and we put together these little treat bags filled with yummy caramel candies! On her first day of school we distributed them to our crossing guard, office staff, cafeteria workers and her new teachers. It gave her a chance to greet them & ease some of her nerves. Plus I'm sure the staff all appreciated a little sweet treat that they can indulge in at the end of the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you & your little ones have an amazing school year!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My daughter's school has three wonderful faculty members retiring this year; a kindergarten, first grade and second grade teacher. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The PTA commissioned me to create special gifts for each of them. Since they all have worked at the school for many, many years, what better than memory jar filled with all their awesome moments to be cherished for years to come! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While a plain jar would have been fine, I wanted the jars to be displayed in their homes so they needed to be decorative & cute! I added some crayons, ribbon, faux apples & fun chalkboard signs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each jar was slightly unique & perfect for each teacher. I'm so happy with how they turned out and can't wait for them to be presented at their big retirement celebration.</div>

These sweet little chocolate birds nests are a perfect decoration and dessert for Easter! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
1 bag chow mein noodles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 packages mini chocolate bars</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 bag Cadbury mini eggs (or jelly beans)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mini muffin pan</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cooking spray </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wax paper (optional)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
1.
Break up chocolate and place in a microwave-safe container. Heat the
chocolate in 30 second intervals until thoroughly melted. Be careful to
not burn
the chocolate. It took me two 30 second intervals.<br />
<br />
2. Carefully add the chow mein noodles, stirring until completely coated in the chocolate. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Lightly spray mini muffin pan with cooking spray. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
4.
Spoon mixture into mini muffin pan. (note: if you don't have a mini
pan, you can also spoon it into little nests onto the wax paper)<br />
<br />
5. Refrigerate until firm, about one hour or so.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

6. One chilled, gently remove the nests from muffin pan. I used a paring knife to pop them out.<br />
<br />
7. Place three Cadbury mini eggs (or jelly beans) inside each nest.<br />

I love to celebrate St. Patrick's Day! A day filled with leprechauns, rainbows and pots of gold - yes please! Plus do I even need to mention Shamrock Shakes? I've been indulging on them for the last few days! Yum! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm always looking for an excuse to make goodies for friends! This year I decided to make some 'pinch proof' St. Patty's gifts. I purchased some sparkling green nail polishes and attached a fun little tag. Now they'll be sure to be safe from any feisty pinchers!</div>

Read Across America Day is a nationwide reading celebration that takes place annually on Dr. Seuss's birthday. Across the country, schools, libraries and communities encourage young minds to pick up a book and read! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To mark the celebration, I put together these fun treats for my daughters classroom. I attached Dr. Seuss pencils to an adorable blank printable from <a href="http://lollyjane.com/" target="_blank">Lolly Jane</a> and added one of my favorite quotes. Quick & simple, yet sure to be a huge hit!<br />
<br />
<i>The more that you read,</i><br />
<i>The more things you will know.</i><br />
<i>The more that you learn,</i><br />
<i>The more places you'll go.</i><br />

celebrate St. Patrick's Day this year, I wanted my little gal &
I to do something different for her friends! I was
so excited when I stumbled across an adorable 'Lucky Penny' printable
from <a href="http://pumpkinpetunia.blogspot.com/2009/03/st-patricks-day-printable-free-template.html"><span style="font-style: italic;">Pumpkin Petunia</span></a>. In just a few minutes, you can create these cute goodies & spread some cheer!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

you'll need to gather your pennies! We busted into our piggy
bank & gathered up as many coins as we could. Upon inspection we
realized pennies are d-i-r-t-y. Gross! We wanted shiny coins for our
project, so we soaked our pennies in ketchup for 5-10 minutes.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

Crazy ~ but it does work!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Next we printed up some of the 'Lucky Penny' printables available <a href="http://pumpkinpetunia.blogspot.com/2009/03/st-patricks-day-printable-free-template.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">HERE</span></a>. We added a touch of glitter to the shamrocks for some sparkle & attached each coin with a dab of hot glue.</div>

Everyone can always use an extra little bit of luck right?</div>

you'll need a cute assistant and a wooden picture frame. We picked

Ever
wonder what to do with all those broken & half used crayons?
Recycle them into fun shapes for a sugar free Valentine gift!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
What you'll need:<br />
Crayons<br />
Heart shaped baking pan<br />
3" bags (purchased from Michaels)<br />
Stapler<br />
<a href="https://www.box.com/s/zkskf6z6ve8cdby45gj9" target="_blank">Bag Toppers</a><br />

Set
your oven to 200 degrees. Remove the paper wrappings and break up the
crayons. Add them to the molds and place in oven for 8-10 minutes.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

all the crayons have melted, you'll get something like this. Next
throw the mold in the freezer for a few minutes so the crayons can
harden faster.</div>

I've
started working on some Valentine's for my little gals classroom
friends! I have so many ideas conjured up in my little 'ol brain, I've

you're still needing to bake some holiday treats, these cookies are
sure to be a huge hit! I have two cookie exchange parties coming up & I'm pretty sure these guys will bring smiles to a few faces!<br />

What you'll need:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Royal Icing </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Decorative icing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sprinkles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Bake the cookies according to directions.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Top with royal icing. I had the frosting to dribble down the cookie for a watery, puddle effect. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3.
Take a couple of marshmallows & pop them into the microwave for
20 seconds (I suggest spraying your fingers with a touch of cooking
spray.) Microwaving gives them a wonky shape. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Using decorative icing & sprinkles, add final features (arms, face, etc.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The
holidays are right around the corner which means a calendar filled with
lots of social gatherings! This year I wanted to create a fun hostess
gift to pair with a bottle of wine/cider/etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What you'll need:<br />
Chalkboard spray paint<br />
Ceramic tiles<br />
Cork sheets or felt<br />
Adhesive or hot glue gun<br />
Chalk</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Lay out your tiles and spray with chalkboard paint. I did two coats and allowed one hour drying time between coats. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7TDB1qI7q5L-AFLIz7wuB7N6HqFtztcRvvycHXkTJi-6dNXWKUhz-zTo3fmrQKffT1eC_49mEv9a78CVVbbWbOHpAxikYMAZqeiD8QdL5WgbEAiTrNtcxEPOLvpufkcQndS7gUlse-pE/s1600/cork.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7TDB1qI7q5L-AFLIz7wuB7N6HqFtztcRvvycHXkTJi-6dNXWKUhz-zTo3fmrQKffT1eC_49mEv9a78CVVbbWbOHpAxikYMAZqeiD8QdL5WgbEAiTrNtcxEPOLvpufkcQndS7gUlse-pE/s320/cork.jpg" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In
the scrapbook section of Michael's, I found some awesome cork sheets
that I cut to fit the back of the tile. You could also use felt. These
will protect the tile from scratching furniture surfaces. Spread a layer
of glue and attach to the tile. Let dry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now guests can write their name, doodle and keep track of their drinks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When the fun is done, clean up is a breeze.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Simply wipe down with a damp cloth and let air dry. </div>

Looking for a cute, clever and inexpensive advent calendar?<br />
<br />
What you'll need:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Round label stickers</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Large bubble wrap</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sharpie Pen</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scissors<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ8DSpbVIEU8CpJvvt_GCrFHrxwp8wuXqkCR-71uUYWK0A99UDZc1a4LDKq-0vXCc55gBkqxuNB7qZqHAwmzL9-kHAnFj0wvjQ2SHyAoUTWOfvps0xWH8qhRY9wMj6Tk7c6Aef1UlCtEQt/s1600/stickers.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ8DSpbVIEU8CpJvvt_GCrFHrxwp8wuXqkCR-71uUYWK0A99UDZc1a4LDKq-0vXCc55gBkqxuNB7qZqHAwmzL9-kHAnFj0wvjQ2SHyAoUTWOfvps0xWH8qhRY9wMj6Tk7c6Aef1UlCtEQt/s320/stickers.jpg" width="227" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using
the bubble wrap, cut out a Christmas tree shape. Take the labels and
have your little ones write out numbers 1-24. Place one sticker on each
bubble. You can place them in numerical order or to make it more of a
hunt, place them in random order.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFIlLxSgp9JoMjdjgjqhbjsj15XCtoCk8myzUmCXbU6KWFbj9S_CwGaasy9yVttE0YbaXrP_4hZGVBNiU4w5KbyaQCCMRI3nkmJ-uROJxq5mxYBDOhqI4OsJ253_ZNBJj-uG_StU0r7omC/s1600/bubble_advent.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFIlLxSgp9JoMjdjgjqhbjsj15XCtoCk8myzUmCXbU6KWFbj9S_CwGaasy9yVttE0YbaXrP_4hZGVBNiU4w5KbyaQCCMRI3nkmJ-uROJxq5mxYBDOhqI4OsJ253_ZNBJj-uG_StU0r7omC/s320/bubble_advent.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who
can resist the joy of popping bubble wrap? I personally have no self
control, so I'll leave this one for my daughter to enjoy! Haha!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanksgiving
is right around the corner & I need some projects to keep my
little one busy while we're visiting family. Paper placemats &
this pilgrim hat filled with crayons is sure to do the trick! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What you'll need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Black cups</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Black paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Scrapbook paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hot glue gun</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Simply
cut the bottom out of a black cup (I only had white cups so I sprayed
mine with chalkboard paint). Hot glue the cup upside-down to a circle
shaped piece of black paper. Cut a band for around the cup & add
a scrapbook paper square for the buckle. Simple!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
These would also be adorable at each place setting to hold disposable silverware setting or fill them with candy treats! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Thanksgiving!<br />

We're giving thanks in a new way this holiday season with our Thankful Tree! I'm so excited about this new tradition we started this month, reflecting on what we are thankful for and noting every day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisrdo7vWRVRPwI7EpUCGHfyVkYB6RtYhdgMVg58cDNiwUlA5iEEgTw5PlR4cwecH3dsHkds1iJj8XHwkIEyXLzBO23VZz9arORBlhns-jqFm-GIPR7Dm9AtC7jFuFeWOnccKFrIGiD3crS/s1600/thankful_tree1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisrdo7vWRVRPwI7EpUCGHfyVkYB6RtYhdgMVg58cDNiwUlA5iEEgTw5PlR4cwecH3dsHkds1iJj8XHwkIEyXLzBO23VZz9arORBlhns-jqFm-GIPR7Dm9AtC7jFuFeWOnccKFrIGiD3crS/s400/thankful_tree1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First we painted a 11x11 canvas. Using some polka dot fabric, I cut out the shape of a tree and mod podged the fabric to the painted canvas. Our base is set & can be used year after year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each morning my daughter grabs a blank leaf & we jot down one thing she is thankful for. We add a piece of double sided sticky tape to the leaf & attach it to the canvas. By the time Thanksgiving rolls around, our tree will be full.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We try to instill gratitude every day, but sometimes life has a way of distracting us. This a wonderful way to create positive and nurturing thoughts. Plus it's a great way and reminder for little ones to learn what really maters.</div>
