{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.

{Magazine Monday} Portable Game Boards

Today's magazine favorite comes from the Martha Stewart Living August 2010 Issue.

 I haven't had too many outdoor picnics this year but this will definitely be coming with me on my next one! The issue also had a great tic-tac-toe one and that's the one I'd like to make to play with my kiddies. I think this is a really cute idea to make as a gift as well and not to mention cheap! (You can find placemats at the dollar store to make one of these.) So head out and buy one (or two or three) and find the instructions here.

{Friday Fave} My Baby Girl - The Kindergartener

Time goes by soooo fast and it definitely felt a little too fast to me this week when I found myself taking my baby to school. I took the picture above on my last day of work, after resigning to stay home with my daughter. And somehow, my baby grew up...very, VERY fast...and I found myself taking her to Kindergarten this week, and not yet feeling ready to be away from her. 

{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!

{Magazine Monday} Martha Stewart Paper Plate Cups



Today I'm sharing this paper plate cup idea from the Martha Stewart Living June 2011 issue. Martha Stewart Living is one of my favorites for sure and ideas like this are definitely why. I fell in love with this idea because it is so simple but really, really adorable. You can find the instructions here. The first time I made some, honestly I just eye-balled it and they came out great! The first step calls for you to cut the edge of the plate with scalloped scissors but I skipped that also. I just made some really quick to serve my kiddies some grapes in and their eyes lit up seeing their special little bowls. This idea is so cute for everyday things like serving your kids their snacks. But I think it is also really adorable for a party and is something you could really dress up.
