Father's Day Gift

Ethan wanted to give Daddy a Star Wars themed gift for Father's Day so we used an idea from Sandy Toes and Popsicles blog.  Keep in mind I can't sew so we had to improvise on the messenger bag with a gift bag.

Here's what ours looked like.

Notice Ethan trying to steal the pringles!

We didn't have time to do the dipped pretzel rods so I substituted with rainbow Twizzlers.

Cute, Cheap, & Crafty

Are you looking for a cute, cheap, and crafty idea to bring some fun to your kitchen table? Well I got just the thing for you. I bought 2 polka dot placemats at Dollar Tree and 2 iron on initials at Hobby Lobby for $2.99 each bringing the grand total to $8.00 for this adorable craft.

If you want to make your own placemats, Dollar Tree currently has blue & pink polka dot and solid colors as well.

Awesome Apron

Today we decided to go shopping for cute crafts.  One cool project we came up with was an apron.  We bought a zebra print apron for $9.99, alphabet buttons for 99 cents each, 3 green bows for $1.99, a big green bow for $2.99, an iron on applique for $2.49, and green floral garland from the summer decor collection for $1.99 all from Hobby Lobby.  We think it turned out to be an AWESOME APRON!
