{Creationz} Lunchbox Notes



 

Happy Friday everybody!

I am so happy that the week is over and I'm in a giving mood. So how about another free printable?

I made these little Lunchbox Note Cards to stick in my little one's lunch bag. They love getting notes in their lunch and call me on it when I miss a day! LOL ;) These are more on the girly side so I'm working on some for the little guys too. I hope you enjoy these and I hope you can use them next week for lunches! Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

 

XXOO,

Monica

{Creationz} Halloween Treat Toppers

 

Who else is ready for Halloween? I'm not necessarily ready but very excited. I love Halloween and this year will be even more fun because I will have my new little one by then and it will be his first holiday. :) So why not celebrate and start getting ready?! I came up with some Halloween treat bags to share. Just print them onto cardstock and stick on top of snack size ziplock bags. I am offering them on my facebook page for fans. So if you haven't become a fan yet please visit and do so and check out the "For You" tab often for more freebies! Hope you enjoy them!

{Events} Bella Home Decor and Gifts 5th Annual Open House

This weekend, locally owned Bella Home Decor and Gifts

 celebrated their 5th Annual Open House. If you have ever been in the store you know what a great selection they have. There is always something new to see and treasures tucked in every corner. It really is such a treat for us to have them in town. And, if you aren't local they do ship! The store looked amazing this weekend and is filled with so many beautiful things that would make great gifts for Christmas...or yourself!

{Creationz} DIY Pillow Box

Hi everyone. Hope you are all having a great week!

I wanted to share this little pillow box I made. I made it with scraps of paper and things I had in my craft closet. I first started making this trying to come up with a cute treat box for Halloween goodies. It turned into this and I know it doesn't look very "Halloweenish" but I love how it turned out and you could easily make some that are more fitting for Halloween. This was free to make because I just used scraps of things I already had on hand but even if you had to buy supplies I think it would definitely be worth it because you could use it in sooo many way. This would be great for Halloween treats like I said, or as place cards for a wedding, as favors for a party, or even to hold stocking stuffers! Be on the lookout because there may be a tutorial coming soon! ;o)

{Creationz} Super Mario Mushroom Cake Pops

This past weekend I made these little guys for a party my friend Rosie was attending.

They are the little mushrooms from the Super Mario video game. :o) Me and my kids also made some different ones a little later in the day and I'll share those in another post coming up!...

See some other events I helped Rosie with here and here.

{Creationz} Wedding Card Box and Guest Book

This past weekend I got to give these to a soon to be bride, Erin, who ordered them from me a few months back. Thank you Erin for letting me help with your special day. Congratulations and I hope you have a wonderful wedding!

 

{Creationz} Farm Princess Tractor Party

This was a party I was really excited about doing. It was for my friends' daughter and was a farm princess tractor theme. You might remember the sneak peek of the invite here.

{Creationz} Friendship Bracelets



With school starting and friends being made I remembered these bracelets I used to make

when I was in school.  My daughter comes home from school talking about the friends she's made and

my niece called me the other night telling me how some new friends gave her a friendship bracelet. So, I thought I'd make some for both of my favorite school girls and maybe they can pass some on to their new friends.

{Creationz} Baby Shower Cake Pops

Hi everybody!

 Just wanted to share some quick pics of some cake pops I made this weekend. They were for Liz who had tasted these chocolate cake pops at a birthday party my friend had for her son and wanted some for a baby shower she was hosting. (She is also sister to Veronica whose wedding I shared before here.) Thanks again Liz and hope you all enjoyed them!! :o)

{Events} Fig Fest 2011

My good friend's husband works for Stellar Distributing, an international produce distributor.

 For the past three years they have asked me to help with the packaging for their booth at an annual event called Fig Fest at the CSU Fresno campus. This past weekend was this year's event and I have a few pictures to share today!

{Creationz} Back to School Countdown

Two posts in one day! Someone pinch me!! lol :o)

Anyway, I'm back with another post to let you know about something else I have been busy with

and that is getting my baby ready for Kindergarten! :o(  I actually think she is ready ....me?....not so much!

 I have been blessed to be able to stay home with my kids from shortly after the time my daughter was born and I can't even begin to imagine how my day will be without my little princess. (yes, I know she's not leaving the country ...just humor me here!)

BUT!.....Before I get all sappy, I wanted to share with you a little countdown we are doing.

 I bought a few little things, wrote a few poems, and threw this together the other night. As you are reading this today, our little countdown board will say "4 days" {YIKES!!!} So, the bulletin board is kind of our centerpiece on the table and off to the side I have an apothecary jar filled with my little dollar store finds wrapped in black paper with a number written in chalk. Attached to each gift is a little poem and opening the little surprises is our morning ritual now until school.

{Creationz} Medical School Party



This past weekend I got to put together this party for my cousin Christina who was recently accepted into medical school. {Yay Chrissy!!} Many thanks to my Aunt for asking for my help because I had sooooo much fun with this party!

Ring Bearer Wagon

I cannot believe that it has been almost 3 weeks since I have posted! :( This month has been so busy and not letting up yet. BUT, today I have a cute little wagon to share with you that I decorated last weekend for a wedding.



{Creationz} Fun Spring Frame Wreath

Hi everybody! I know my poor little blog has been neglected lately but today I have something to share with you. This wreath/frame/??? has been halfway done for quite some time and I just got to finish it today and thought I'd show you.

{Tutorial} DIY Party Decor

Hi everybody! I have a tutorial for you today and I really hope you like it! It's my first tutorial so bear with me and forgive my pictures as my lighting was a little bad. I was inspired by some paper bag flowers that I saw by Martha Stewart many moons ago. You can find the tutorial here and I will show you where I made mine a little different. I think these would be beautiful at a party and are also pretty for spring if you just wanna hang them up at home! To start with, you probably have everything you need to make these at home already!

{Creationz} Jungle Baby Shower

This past weekend was soooooo busy with three parties in one weekend!! YIKES!!! But, I pulled it off and I am so proud of the way they all turned out. This party was a baby shower for my sister-in-law that was a jungle theme. We also focused on the "King of the Jungle" Lil' Lion for the invites, etc. If you missed the invite you can find it here.  The tables had burlap runners, grass patches with lil lions, and small green plants with their pots wrapped in coordinating fabric.

{Creationz} Ladybug Garden Party

A few months back I had a giveaway on the blog and Bianca was the lucky winner. After meeting Bianca, she wanted me to help her with some other things for the party and I had so much fun doing it for her! For the tables I did ruffled crepe paper runners and small pots with wheat grass, gerber daisies, and a little ladybug of course! :o)

{Creationz} Lil' Monkey 1st Birthday Party

Hi everybody. The last two weeks have been extremely busy for me but tons of fun

 and I have lots of party pics to share!!!

The first party was for my niece Tatiana. She turned one and my cousins went with the Lil' Monkey theme for her birthday. The gorgeous cake and cupcakes were made by Caroline of Caroline's Creations. She did a great job and the piping on Tatiana's name was perfect! The favor bags were pink and green and had scalloped circle favor bag clips to go with the theme.
