LUCKY!

Took some time away from birthday creations to make this fun St. Patrick's Day banner. Most of the cuts came from the Storybook cartridge for Cricut. LOVE that machine. Now back to all the birthday fun. Linking this to Skip to My Lou Made by You Mondays, its a great place to find some amazing inspiration.

Freezer Paper Shirts

The kids loved the Valentine shirts and it helps that its so easy to do. The picture add ons came from livinglocurto.com. If you haven't seen their site yet, you should check them out. They have great links to printables. Right now they have a super cute St. Patrick's Day wallpaper for your smartphone. Now off to my next shirt, working on K's Rock Star birthday. If you run across any amazing Rock Star ideas, would love to see them.

Matching Freezer Paper Shirts

One of K's Christmas presents this year was her first American Girl Doll, Kit. I've been so surprised how much she has played with her considering she has never played with dolls or Barbies. If you open her toy drawer, its full of Scooby Doo, TMNT, lizards and dinosaurs. She's even been looking for extra chores to be able to earn money to buy Kit more clothes. I picked up an outfit at Micheal's and decided to make it match K's Valentine shirt. I used design studio for Cricut to cut out the freezer paper stencil. There are several video tutorials on youtube and it is so easy. I'll post a pick of the two of them after V day.

Another Amazing Giveaway!

Mama’s Holiday Wish List Meme

TodaysMama (link to: http://bit.ly/tmwishlist) and GameStop (link to: http://bit.ly/gamestop10) are giving away a sleighful of gifts this holiday season and to enter I’m sharing this meme with you.

1. What is your holiday wish for your family?

To be together(happily) and share in the magic of Christmas through a 3 & 6 year old's eyes.

2. What is your Christmas morning / Hanukkah Nightly tradition?

The hope is that Daddy, a fire fighter, is home and we can open presents together.

3. If you could ask Santa for one, completely decadent wish for yourself, what would it be?

A trip for the whole family to Atlantis in the Bahamas.

4. How do you make the holidays special without spending any money?

We just had fun decorating the tree and every year we make cookies for the neighbors. I also like having the kids trace their hands and feet to make reindeer.

5. What games did you play with your family growing up?

My family loves card games, hand & foot, shang hai, tick and others. If you plan on marrying in you better like cards.

6. What holiday tradition have you carried on from your own childhood?

Having a birthday party on Christmas Eve, my sister's bday is Christmas day and my son's is Christmas Eve. We were never allowed to open in presents early so she at least had a special day.

7. Where would you go for a Christmas/Hanukkah-away-from-home trip?

The kids would be happy with Wisconsin Dells, I would love to be somewhere warm with a beach. Palm Trees can be decorated.

8. Check out GameStop (link to: http://bit.ly/gamestop10) and tell us, what are the three top items on your GameStop Wish List this year?

Nintendo DSi, Kinnect for XBOX, Just Dance 2 for my daughter.

Ghouling Good Time

We had so much fun this Halloween. K's love for Scooby Doo spurred us to all get in the spirit. Thanks to Goodwill, Mike and I found great outfits. We also were invited to our first family Halloween party. We had a great time hanging out with friends. Now to decide what we are going to be next year, my vote is the Flinstones, but sadly K doesn't know who that is. I also suggested Little Red Riding Hood, K being Grandma, Logan the wolf or woodsman(this suggestion comes from the fact that I already own a little red riding hood costume.) Send in those suggestions.
