My plans for the week...

In a little less than 2 weeks I am going on an extended weekend trip with some girlfriends of mine. The longest I have ever been away from kids is when I was in the hospital with munchkin face 20 miles away from home (for like 10 days; he was there longer but we traveled back and forth). So, I want to make some fantastic items to take with me (I know, last minute right).
I found a tutorial for a tote bag that I LOVE. Here is the one I am looking at... http://www.youcanmakethis.com/products/handbags/ruffled-tote-basketorganizer.htm?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=022412y

OH MY GAWD, is it not the cutest? I love it but I think mine would need to be bigger (taller, I think this one is for little ladies). The designer has some fabulous creations!! She has an etsy shop here and a blog here.
I also want to make a kindle cover (even though I think I was told yesterday that I have to leave it here for the bear, he uses it to play all his games and watch his videos). Here is the one I found that I think is too darn cute... http://www.polkadotchair.com/2010/09/kindle-keeper-tutorial.html

It is adorable and I love the bow closure. Have you visited the Polkadot Chair? AH-MAZE-ING! So many fabulous crafts and a TON of tutorials!!!!

And then this weekend I found out that you can make ALL KINDS of goodies "in the hoop" on an embroidery machine! I found a new store that I am in love with. I have not bought anything yet, you know the hubs has to approve purchases, but I did email the store owner on Saturday morning. I was  not expecting to hear anything from her until Monday or later but she emailed me back in a couple of minutes with all the answers to my questions. SHE HAD EVEN GOOGLED MY MACHINE TO SEE WHAT KIND OF HOOPS I HAD SO SHE COULD BETTER ASSIST ME! OMGawd, a customers dream come true! WHAT FABULOUS SERVICE!!

And look at this design... http://www.embroiderygarden.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=674

(SOURCE)

Um hello, I AM IN LOVE!!!!! There are a ton of designs and I have about a billion (okay, maybe not that many but A LOT) items I would like to buy from her!! LOVE!!!!!

I also would like to embellish a few shirts for my trip...

Kinda like this one... http://gemellihandmade.blogspot.com/2010/04/diy-ruffled-floral-embellished-basics.html

and this one... http://kissedbyafrog.blogspot.com/2011/06/gifts-galore-flower-petal-shirt-tiny.html

(Source)

...but not a tank (I just do not where them) and in blue and white. Did I  mention that we are going to the KANSAS CITY ROYALS spring training, in AZ? Anyone want to meet for dinner?

I would also like to make one of these... http://www.etsy.com/listing/90811879/rhinestone-baseball-and-angel-wing-t?ref=sr_gallery_12&sref=&ga_search_submit=&ga_search_query=baseball+rhinestone+shirt&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade

(SOURCE)

...but in pink, of course. I dunno this would take me about 10 hours to create, maybe I should just buy it from this etsy store. Plus, Princess just told me she needs a new shirt for Thursday...Dr. Suess' bday. Geesh! A hat with some bling on it would be cute too but I had hard time figuring that out! I seriously have my work cut out for me.

What would you be taking? What would you be making? What would you be wearing? I wanna know. I am usually a t-shirt and jeans girl but I want to look cute!!

Help a MAMA out!

R.L.M.M. #5

I missed the Mama Post last week. I thought I just show you a few pics of what we have been doing here lately...

Decided we may need to invest in a helmet.

Passed out from sheer exhaustion.

We showed some love in the curiously messy mama room...

I started to clean out my office to prepare for DESTASH GIVEAWAYS!!!!

 

We sent pictures of the kids arm pit moles to their uncle...don't ask.

So what were your mama moments this week??

I am so glad to know that life is not always perfect! Thank you so much to everyone that linked up a Real Life Mommy Moment. I am going to go ahead and just clone the link for a while (I do not want anyone to miss any of these stories.)

Do you have to be a MOMMY to share your REAL LIFE MOMENTS? HECK NO! Share AWAY!!
Do they have to be new posts?? NOPE NOT AT ALL! Just share.
Are there more rules you need to follow? Um, nope again.
But if you want too share with all of your friends and help support even more real life moments, you could always grab a button...

Valentine’s Day Mega Post

So I am late to the party…as usual. Some day maybe I will get my act together like the rest of the world and not wait until the last minute to do things. However, I usually do my best work under pressure so it could be in my best interest to wait.

Since, I have never poked around blogs before around Vday I had a very hard time trying to decide what I should do for the 1st grade party this year. So hard in fact that I did not decide and just chose to do every little cute thing I found. If you follow on fb you already heard that I totally went OVERBOARD. But it was fun and the kids loved it! I am so thankful for all the creative people on the internet that allowed me to spoil my daughter’s 1st grade class. If only I knew how to create digital art the way these ladies do. So with out further ado…

*(The pictures included in this post are from the actual Valentine’s I made from all of the wonderful printables I found online. I have included links to each site. These ideas are not my own but the photos are. All links are for free printables provided by other bloggers that are available for personal use only. I only watermarked these photos because they are the crafts that I made from the free printable provided by someone else and I do not want anyone to be able to use my photo to steal their work.)*

I found these adorable owl Valentine’s as a free printable at http://artsyfartsymama.blogspot.com/2012/02/owl-valentines-printable.html

And this awesome printable to attach to your homemade heart shaped crayons from http://www.ourbestbites.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Our-Best-Bites-Valentine-Labels-for-Crayons.pdf

And look at this one http://www.dandee-designs.com/2010/02/friendship-bracelet-valentines.html to add to your homemade friendship bracelets. My teenage son actually made the bracelets (24 to be exact). He is so adorable!

Mini Candy Wrappers were available as the Ucreate Free Printable for the month of January here they were created by cards for you and you can find that etsy shop here. or just click this link cardsforyoushop.etsy.com

I also made the Hershey Kiss ring that was featured in the Family Magazine this month. Here is the online version but if you do not have a subscription to the magazine you should get one. It is awesome! The kids love when it come in the mail. ( http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/let-friendship-ring-1033792/)

 

Designs by Cp is a super star with this Starburst printable found here http://designsbycp.blogspot.com/2012/02/3x4-starburst-valentine-label-topper.html

Sweet Muffin Suite totally shot it out of the park with this free printable for pencils http://sweetmuffinsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/sweetmuffinsuite_valentines_freepencilarrow_01.pdf

Sanqunetti Design hit the mark with this too cute and FROGulicious bookmark printable http://www.sanqunettidesign.com/catalog.php?item=345&catid=26&ret=catalog.php%3Fcategory%3D26

Then I saw this adorable little eraser printables from Super Mom Moments found here http://www.supermommoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/PinkEraserMistakeValentinePrintable.pdf. I ran out of tiny little baggies so I just stapled the eraser on the inside and they stayed put.

When I saw these bath bombs at Skip to My Lou found here http://www.skiptomylou.org/2009/02/05/how-to-make-bath-bombs/ I thought initially they were suckers and then could not get the idea out of my head so I made them. I did not use the printable out of fear of getting kicked out of school for a zero tolerance policy (THANKS MOM, for that common sense).

It seemed like a lot but really I don’t think it was…

Everything fit nicely into a pencil pouch (I just happened to have laying around). Actually, I about kicked myself when I found a box of pencil pouches in the basement. I was a little upset that they did not also make there way to Joplin when I donated all of my teaching stuff over the summer.

I created this little “Happy Valentine’s Day” paper for the front of the package and I made one for the other side too but the picture did not come out.

We added the free Lorax Valentine Printable that I read about on Ginger Snap Crafts that can be found here http://loraxtoolkit.tumblr.com/

And for the grand finish…the outfit. I must admit that I had planned something way more grand but could not find what I needed any where and then little lady got sick (she missed all 5 days last week) so the outfit was mostly store bought at Target and had none of the fabulous embellishments I had planned. She looked cute anyway.

When I saw the I LOVE TO CREATE painted chucks found here http://ilovetocreateblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/ahh-shucks-you-painted-me-chucks-for.html  I JUST HAD TO MAKE THEM. A) I am a SUPER SUCKER for Chucks B) I love glitter and sparkle. I figure what more could one ask for!??!? Here are the ones I made for Princess.

I bleached out the sides with the word “love”

It was about this moment that she decided she would be able to go to school after all. UGH, day 5 of being home.

And then I added a little matching ribbon to the laces. I am jazzy like that.

She did start feeling better after lunch so I took her with me to the party and let her ride the bus home. Here are the links to some of the games we played.

Conversation Heart Estimation (http://www.littlegiraffes.com/heart%20estimate.pdf) – I made a printable for this and we put our own spin on it by add red hots, marshmallows, and poms poms to the estimation and counting.

http://blogs.scholastic.com/1_2/2009/02/valentine-activities.html – We did Hear to Heart

We also played “HIDE the HEART” and Chopstick Race which another room mom suggested, I am not sure if there is a link for those games. The kids loved it. Here is the heart I made for that game.

That is it! And believe me that was enough! Whew, so much fun but so glad it over!!

I HOPE I DID NOT ACCIDENTLY FORGET TO LINK TO ANYONE. IF YOU NOTICE THAT I DID NOT GIVE SOMEONE CREDIT PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO THAT I CAN FIX IT IMMEDIATELY.
