Butterflies in the winter

 

How cute is this… the craft, not the amazing little girl! While at the ice carving festival, there was also a wellness expo going on in our local supermarket’s side deli. To keep warm, we bopped around the expo for a bit. My lil punkin’ here is the crafty one, she loves being creative any way possible. When the lady invited her to make this cute butterfly, she was up for it.

What do you need?

1 ziplock baggy

1 clothespin (colored pretty with markers of course)

a pipe cleaner (folded in half)

some yummy food or candy

How easy is that? The possibilities are endless. I am thinking a springtime birthday party craft, or Valentine’s craft with conversational hearts in place of the goldfish?! How about homemade caramel popcorn with red sprinkles and white chocolate, red pipe cleaners with red heart antennae tips. Oh I love it! Must. make. some :)

Marble Art

 

Have you ever tried marble art with your kids?

How have I never heard of this?!

So flippin’ easy!

Shake, Shake, Shake…

Lovely colors, remember… blue and yellow make Green!

Now have a party, and make a collage with all the art :)

Wedding_boxes

When I mention wedding to my husband, his mind immediately goes to the week before the wedding. Thoughts of me running around like a chicken with my head cut off! My panic came to the for front when I realized that *maybe* I bit off too much with wanting to paint 100+ boxes, put ribbon on them and glue a monogram letter on it! What was I thinking? Lucky for me I got a very understanding husband, and a perfectionist just like me :)

My dear husband called this his *sweat-shoppe*....

I am glad we have this memory to laugh about now, and the awesome results on every table.

In the each box was my favorite candy and his favorite candy.

Mine was a Lindor Truffle & his is Raffaello.

My Wedding _ Water

Because I work in a label company, I work closely with a water bottle company. I designed a label for our wedding. My boss give me labels for my wedding present, & the water bottle company give me water for a wedding present, and viola!
