Christmas Gift

I made this super easy gift for my son's teacher for Christmas.  I used a bead organizer and added some daily supplies that a teacher would use.  I also added the lego snowman ornament because my son is completely into legos and wanted to give her something lego and it was black and white so it matched perfectly.

Candy Bar Reindeer and Snowmen

I have been busy lately with holiday crafts and here is just one of them that I finished yesterday..... Reindeer Candy Bars for my son's classroom holiday party.

I took the small snack size hershey bars and wrapped them in brown card stock ( on sale at michael's for .25 a sheet) Then I used a 1 inch circle cutter for the nose and 8mm size eyes all glued on and finally the antlers I used a darker card stock paper and cut them out by hand.   I did see where someone used a circuit but I don't have one:(  I am sure that would have been much easier and faster but I think mine came out just fine.  I hope the kids enjoy them!

I also made snowmen candy bars for the teachers.  They are made the same way except I wrapped a "normal" size hershey bar and wrapped them in white card stock.  Then I took some fleece and glued it around the top and tied it at the top.  After that I took some more fleece and made a scraf and then added some eyes ( beads) and used a marker to draw the face and nose.

School Desk Updated

The picture above is a school desk that I got at an auction for practically nothing! and I saw some potential in it.  I cleaned the desk and chair with some soap and water and after it dried I lightly sanded the whole desk and chair.  Then I took some plastic bags and masking tape and taped off the top surface of the desk because I didn't want to paint it.  After the prep work was done I started spray painting it!  I used Kyron spray paint bright blue and key lime green.  The spray paint was great! it was very easy to do and it covered the whole desk and chair evenly an no run marks.

After the paint dried ( 24 hrs) I started to think about the inside of the desk and decided to use some matching scrapbooking paper and modge podge the inside with the paper it turned out better than what I thought!!! Take a look at the final product:

Sunflower Twinkie Cake

Recently I had a potluck picnic to attend and didn't know what to bring because of the weather being so hot!  So I thought I would bring an easy dessert and came across this recipe for a sunflower cake made from twinkies.  It's super simple:  Make an 8 inch chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and then take chocolate chips and place them all on the top of the cake.   Then take your twinkies (unwrapped) and arrange them along the outside of the cake to make it look like the petals of a sunflower and that's it!!

Lego Theme Birthday Party

My twin boys were really into legos this year so I decided to have them a lego themed party.  At first I thought I would be able to find some party decorations online but I was wrong!  So I went to work and made my own. This is what I made:

I made lego minfigures from a coloring page I printed out from online.  I also made lego bricks using card stock ( primary colors).  The table runner is bubble wrap I got from target.  The banner is made from card stock and the font is from a font website I downloaded and then printed out.
