November Acorns

Happy November! I decided for Kate's November teacher gift I made acorns out of donut holes. It was super easy! I bought chocolate icing, gold and brown sprinkles, and pretzel sticks. I spread icing on the top of the donut holes and dipped them in the sprinkles then stuck a tiny piece of pretzel stick in the top to make it look like an acorn. Shipley's gave me a baker's dozen. I stuck 24 acorns in a cupcake box and broke my diet and ate the last 2!

A New Tradition

This year I've decided I'm going to start a new tradition of picking someone in my life to give something for each day. I'm going to do the 12 days of Christmas and start on December 13th. Maybe you will be my lucky friend?!!

Ribbon Topiaries

I had these two styrofoam topiaries that I bought at Hobby Lobby for Julia's birthday and decided to make Halloween ribbon balls. I just stuck the topiaries in pots that I painted black. I added 5 rolls of different Halloween ribbon for each one that I bought at Hobby Lobby. These are so easy to make. Just cut each piece of ribbon to 4" in length. Make in a loop and stick in the styrofoam with a pin!

TGIF

Thank Goodness it's Fall!

I made a Fall/Halloween basket for Kate's teacher. I do small teacher gifts for each month. I made the labels myself, stuck hand sanitizer, candy corn, air freshener and stamps and pads from the dollar bin at Joann fabrics. I think she liked it!

Olivia

I have a few friends having Olivia birthday parties! Here's a picture of Caroline wearing her Olivia skirt. Cutest kid ever! For the party I went to this weekend I made Mel's daughters matching Olivia outfits too. I also wrapped her daughter's present in a bag with Olivia fabric. I think it turned out pretty cute!

Star Stallions

At Kate's school they have an assembly every other Friday. They pick 2 students from each grade that were great students who get picked by their teacher to be Star Stallions. Although Kate didn't get picked this week I decided to maker her teachers gift for September Star Stallion capes for her 2 special kindergarteners to wear on that day! Hope she likes them!
